Taste (The Vegan Cafe)
The moment we arrived in El Nido from Coron, we were starving and were so happy to come across this new cute little place in El Nido town, called Taste or The Vegan Cafe. Taste is a 100% plant-based restaurant in El Nido that serves yummy smoothie bowls, juices, and other kinds of vegan food. Besides the great vibes, it’s also an ideal place to work on your laptop.

Glow
There are 2 different Glow restaurants in El Nido Palawan, one in the town and one in the new POPS district at Corong Corong Beach. Both are lovely places with lots of vegetarian/vegan food on their menus like smoothie bowls, cold-pressed juices, and cruelty-free burgers. We went for lunch to Glow at Corong Corong Beach and can highly recommend this place to anyone.

Beach Shack
Beach Shack on Las Cabanas Beach is not only a super chill place to hang out, they also serve some great local Filipino food like chop suey which can be made vegan. If you’re not eating at Beach Shack, be sure to have a drink and enjoy the amazing sunset views. We bet you’ll love it!

The Cavern
So happy we found this amazing restaurant in El Nido. We literally had the best vegan lasagna ever here! The Cavern is not only an amazing vegan restaurant, it’s also a trendy hostel located at Corong Corong Beach. As a sister-restaurant of the Taste in El Nido Town, it also serves 100% plant-based food. Definitely worth a visit, even if you’re not vegan!

Altrove Pizzeria
If you love good traditional pizza’s, add Altrove Pizzeria to the list! Altrove Pizzeria is one of the best restaurants in El Nido Palawan and probably in the whole Philippines known for its amazing big-size oven-baked pizzas and has other restaurants in Coron, Moalboal, and Siargao too. A classic one!

Maremegmeg Beach Bar Restaurant
Maremegmeg Beach Bar Restaurant is maybe the most expensive and fancy spot here on the list, but a highly recommended place if you fancy a more romantic/cozy dinner at the beach. They have a separate section on their menu with plant-based/vegan options which are looking all so yummy. We took the quinoa salad and the vegan curry and it was worth every peso!
