Café del Jardin

Top choice in Mindoro


This blissfully air-conditioned, traditionally decorated cafe is the best dining option in Calapan. In addition to coffee drinks and the full complement of Filipino specialities, there's a Japanese menu with the likes of udon curry and sashimi. It fronts the Bimas Hotel on the main drag 2km south of the city centre.

Next door the Cargo Grill specialises in carabao burgers.
