5 Best Restaurants in Coron

KT’s Sinugba Sa Balay may look unimpressive from the outside, being built from bamboo and thatch, but its humble décor has done little to dent its popularity. This unpretentious grill and native restaurant, as it describes itself, is just the right place to sample genuine Filipino food in a pleasant, laid-back atmosphere. From sisig (tangy and spicy fried pork) to mee goreng (spicy fried noodles served with meat or seafood) and more, you’ll find most of the classic dishes of the country’s cuisine here, prepared in style and served in big portions at very reasonable rates.

Trattoria Altrove Coron is the place you should head to if you want to indulge yourself with pizza, pasta, or any other Italian fare. Located on Rosario Street, walking distance from the pier in Coron Town proper, Trattoria Altrove is a rather stylish restaurant in which spotless white walls contrast with dark wooden beams and furnishings. The success of this restaurant comes from the high quality of the food it serves with that authentic Italian taste. The restaurant has a good wine list, too. Prices here are in line with the quality of the food it serves, making it fairly pricy when compared to the surrounding eateries.

Lolo Nonoy’s Food Station is a pretty large venue that can comfortably seat up to 80 people. Made of rattan panels framed in wood, this carinderia-style restaurant (that’s the word for a typical Filipino eatery, also known as “turo-turo”) is one of the most affordable eateries in Coron Town, as well as one of the best. A great venue for group dining, you’ll find most of the classic Filipino dishes on the menu here, such as pancit balabok (noodles with shrimps in shrimp sauce), pork BBQ, pinakbet (vegetable stew), and more.
