Love the food and the ambience. Local live band play several nights a week. I like the environmental effort. Free drinking water, no straws and of course the Art.
Alex BarronMay 8, 2016Get the mixed shake. I tasted mango and banana among other flavours. And cheaper than the individually flavoured shakes. Enjoy the view on the balcony.
Rebecca TpuahApril 30, 2016I tried the green veggie curry, arugula soup with garlic bread and the El Nido salat. Everything delicious and fresh.
- Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner at this superb venue. Very fresh produce from their own gardens made for extensive tasty offerings. Great eco credentials - if only every place followed suit. Good views.
Jolanda H.December 31, 2017A Nice western oriented café and restaurant where you’ll het you asked for. It taste exact as you expect and that can be quite nice. Cosy place. Nice wines as well.
Mary JoyJanuary 16, 2019Cozy place and a great place to dine. A bit expensive than other places in El Nido but their food is good. 👌- It's nice finding a place you just go and relax, look at art and eat good food.
- Dinner with local entertainment. The bands are great. We can still have conversations with each other and enjoy a good meal. Great place for Filipinos and foreigners alike.
- Cool place, warm atmosphere, service is very nice. Love the nee Proscuitto Pizza with Arugula. Their Arugula comes from their own farm. And they don't serve bottled water, free service water instead.
- The daily special Pasta pomodoro is great and the herbed garlic bread with homemade bread, a 👍😍. Fish fillet with lemon caper sauce with a mixed Salad, a carbs free lunch. #healthyeating
Leyla Cavusoglu ArslanJuly 3, 2017All meals are delicious. A bit more expensive compared to other places. Try the cocktails!
- Fish Fillet with Mango Salsa and they have fresh Dill. Awesome taste with such good ingredients.
MaríaJanuary 2, 2015Paella was surprisingly good, with a filipino twist (I'm Spanish). Also the salad, but what really made me fall in love was the banana split!
- Awesome healthy lunch meal well prepare. Glad this place serves healthy dishes.
- Breakfast by the sea. Fun watching the boats all depart for island hopping while having a real good breakfast. Clean place.
I am back after few years and food is great as always. It's more expensive than in other close bars, but quality is good.
Jordi CortijoJanuary 20, 2016Very good place to enjoy live music at the first floor or the sea at the terrace. Food is very good and prices are the same as other places in town

Angela LiuAugust 26, 2017Casual western food eatery - try the el nido salad with mango. That can never go wrong- L CMay 30, 2015Ask for the house special, we had Tuna in coconut milk W/spinach and paella seafood. Food was good enough, cozy ambiance, and attentive staff

- Jmvens BarrunOctober 27, 2019Great selection of food.!The best pizza in town!.its a must try..yum!😋😋
Tintin VallejoMarch 9, 2015Food didn't disappoint. Tried Margherita pizza with Salami&Bacon as add on and Seafood Paella. They were all sooo good. So worth it!- Meet people here from allover the world and still get the local vibe. Good food and try the Cocktails.
- The Schnitzel and rosti made may day. And the homemade icecream is fantastic.
The tours here are good, but I recommend going across the street to Pura Vida. Wolfgang runs great tours & will take you to some less traveled spots. For a really special trip go to Tapiutan Island.
Kc DavidJanuary 28, 2013Love this place for its food and for the ambiance! Plus, the fastest wifi in the area :)
- Farm to table dining at its Best. Right in the heart of El Nido.
- The Mango Coupe is awesome and good for sharing. With lots of fresh Mango. All homemade.
- Beautiful atmosphere and the service is well trained and attentive. Good portions and tasty.
Paul GabionMay 20, 2013You'll be curious why people (esp. foreigners) leave their slippers on the stairway. Ask the bartender to know the answer. :)
Tour A is great. Also did the cliff climbing: very sharp & demanding but worth the point of view. Guides are totally reliable. Very good service. Owner couple is swiss-philippines.
Tomasz SzulcNovember 20, 2014ArtCafe pizza is not bad. Also Tom Yum is good. But the most important is atmosphere, a lot of fun in the evening.
Anna GalipiensoNovember 7, 2019Delicious and giant banana pancake for breakfast for 170, really nice ambiance and lovely staff!
Tom PriceMarch 12, 2014Today (12/03/14) the WIFI password = iloveartcafe33 and ask at the travel centre and they will let you store luggage there for a short period.
