Love Shack Bistro and Café

WE’RE ALWAYS ON the hunt for comfy corners on paradise island, and Love Shack over at the quiet stretch of Angol is one of the coziest nooks I visit on the reg. They serve up all-day, everyday comfort food with wine pairings, as well as good coffee. Located inside Everrich Boutique Resort, a cute little petfriendly hotel, Love Shack serves comfort grub priced from Php230 to Php985, in generous portions. Grilled salmon with truffle risotto is a favorite as well as the savory steak splice and date-night tenderloin. My friends and I go for the comfort food and chill vibe, sure, but we also stay for the chance to cuddle Love Shack’s resident dogs and cats.

NONIE’S HAS CHANGED the Filipino food landscape with its fresh, healthy, and sustainable local dishes. Think savory chicken and pork adobo on a bed of mountain rice, a vegan sisig , and healthy all-day breakfast fare like our fave adlai arroz caldo and pineapple pandan pancakes. Grain bowls start at Php250, while their mains start from Php450. Since Nonie’s has a meticulous menu that sets standards high, they’re able to accommodate people with special food lifestyles (vegan/vegetarian) and allergies. When we have visitors on the island we want to impress, we’re sure to take them Nonie’s.
