Top place to eat - Edit
I found their chia parfait bowl attractive and delicious but the bright blue colored chia a bit un-natural looking. As a small eater I left there still hungry as the chia was only like less than 2cm deep.
Read moreMay return to try something as may be the only all vegan place in this meat dominated country where often only rice or simple salad is the choice in a Philippine restaurant.

Pros: Spacious interior and not crowded , Small but nice variety, Pleasant staff as is usual
Cons: Serving size a bit small for price

Yummiest food ever! - Edit
We stayed at the H Hotel and had breakfast included in our stay each day. It was awesome we could order anything off the breakfast menu! We ate here almost every day for lunch and dinner for 5 days as well. Such a huge menu! We really loved the French toast, crème brûlée, and the spaghetti carbonara was the best I’ve ever had!!

Amazing - Edit
We went here two nights in a row. Not only were the food and cocktails really, REALLY good, but the acoustics were great (not something I have ever taken notice of in a restaurant). The place was packed and everyone in the place was speaking at a normal volume. The music was good and quiet. Special shoutout to the sound guy. Don’t skip the bang bang tofu (or it’s called something like that)

Quality food in an elegant setting - Edit
We only ate here once during our stay because El Nido has so many vegan restaurants and not enough time to try them all. The place itself is quite large, elegant, very clean, and well organized. There were many staff members and everything felt very professional. Prices are a bit on the higher end for the Philippines but still reasonable for the quality.
Read moreThe food was excellent. The croquettes were absolutely to die for, and we also had a panini and a burger, both delicious and with generous portions. To finish, we had the brownie which was amazing, especially since finding good vegan chocolate desserts in the Philippines isn’t always easy. We also tried a smoothie which was very good.
Overall a really nice spot in El Nido for tasty vegan food in a more polished setting.

Amazing food - Edit
They food is just amazing! Really delicious and flavorful. Had the buff burger and my boyfriend had the berry cacao shake and the grilled pesto sandwich with vegan mozzarella. Everything was just on point.
Read moreIn the end a bit expensive, the portions are not too big, but still recommended for a fancier evening.

Very nice place and tasty food! - Edit
The food was very tasty, even my non vegan boyfriend enjoyed it. The place is very clean and stuff very professional. The food is more expensive there but it is worth of the money. The portions are also big. There is many options on the menu

Delicious food and nice staff in airconditioned restaurant - Edit
We went for lunch and left the place very happy. We had the tofu appetizer and it was delicious. Both had a very nice smoothie and we had the dan dan noodles and seoul bowl. All was very tasty!
Read moreThey said the seoul bowl was very spicy, but I found it a bit bland with less spice. Next time I would try the full spice version. Highly recommend going here!
Pros: The tofu appetizer, Friendly staff and nice vibes, Delicious food overall
Cons: A little on the pricier side

SIMPLY PERFECT! - Edit
Wonderful restaurant! Elegant, big and very welcoming. Full of plants to make it even more beautiful, with relaxing background music. The menu offers many 100% plant-based dishes. We ordered a Rainbow wrap with falafel, a Shroom Melt burger, and to finish our dinner, we ordered a Crème brûlée. I was speechless, everything was absolutely delicious! The service was very fast, and I also appreciated the waiters' attention in asking several times if we had any food intolerances. Everything was perfect, even though we spent significantly more than we would have at other restaurants.

Ver De - Edit
This is the nicest looking restaurant in El Nido, by far. The food is presented beautifully. The standout for us was the bang bang tofu appetizer, followed by the beyond meatball appetizer. However, we were not impressed with our mains, which were the dan dan noodles and the pad Thai salad. If I could go back in time, I’d order two bang bang tofu appetizers as a main, that’s how good it is!!!

Holy Cow! Amazing! - Edit
Ver De is big, air-conditioned, has a menu so long, it's more of a book, and the food is really interesting.
Read moreVer De would not be out of place in an upscale neighbourhood back home.
I had a Bali smoothie, a Caribbean jerk tofu steak, and a dessert called 'Malva' - chai ice cream, with pistachio crumbs, grilled pineapple, pudding and caramel sauce. Next level.
See my photos!
Pros: Big, clean, AC, nice staff, quick service, Huge menu. All vegan., Price was very reasonable for El Nido

Non-vegan staff - Edit
BEYOND MEAT 🍔 Burgers are the best ever, see photo….The pet peeve I have about vegan restaurants in the Philippines is the staff is never, ever vegan and they have zero interest in the vegan lifestyle 😢.
Read moreHowever the food here was exceptional.
The crème brulee was out of this world. The breakfast sandwich was perfect and gives the eggy cheesy craving a fix. Breakfast 7-10am only. Closed 10-11am for lunch preparation.
