The amount of food are reasonable for it’s price. The place is quite nice and good. The staff are very nice, although the food arrived quite long still it’s worth the wait because the food and drink are good. I like the BBQ sauce and the buttered corn sides😖 while order again the same food when I visit again!! 😍 Pleasant Spot with Great Service Cafe Reef offers a nice dining experience overall. The food is presented beautifully and tastes good, though nothing particularly extraordinary. If you’re looking for a decent meal in a well-curated setting, this place delivers. What really stood out was the service — the staff were attentive, friendly, and made the experience more enjoyable. The ambience is also relaxing and well-designed, making it a great place to unwind. A solid option for a casual meal with excellent service and a cozy vibe. A very nice cafe attached to the adjacent hostel, which I also stayed in. I ate breakfast here twice. The breakfast menu is very European and both times I got a veggie omelette. The first time the omelette had way too much butter. Although the omelette was nice anyway. The second time, the other vegetarian options were unavailable. This time it had less butter, it also tasted better. The staff are friendly and polite. Would love to come back and try other items on the menu.

great option for when staying in Puerto Princesa!! we ate here two nights in a row as we knew it was tasty and reliable. night 1 we had the surf & turf burger and the half chicken. the burger didn’t look like much but was actually delicious. the chicken was also great, although it took slightly longer to come out. night 2 we went for the chicken kebab and a cheese burger. the chicken kebab was amazing, fresh salad, delicious rice and the tastiest roasted veg. such a healthy yet filling option. staff are friendly and the interior is lovely. prices are extremely reasonable and they accept card. would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

Best English breakfast in the Philippines! We’ve been to half of the Philippines and this was by far the best breakfast we’ve had, the English muffins were particularly delicious. Don’t get me wrong Filipino food is great but it’s nice to get a break from the rice and get a little taste of home. I don’t like sausage patty or tomato at home and even that wasn’t half bad. The music was also 10/10
