Top 10 Cafes/ Restaurants in Naga City, Camarines Sur, Philippines

While well-known food franchises have taken the popularity in most cities in the Philippines, small yet creative cafes/ restaurants are the stand outs in Naga City. The local population supports local and small businesses which can relate more to their Bicolano taste buds.

Visiting Naga City for the first time, we asked our Nagueño friends for their top recommendations. We come up to 10 establishments where we had the opportunity to interview the owners and try their best selling menu. Here are Our Top 10 Cafes/ Restaurants in Naga City, Camarines Sur, Philippines (in no particular order)!

Disclaimer: Some of your top favorites may not be here. We hope to go back to Naga City soon to feature them as well. Some of the must recommends by our Naga friends which we failed to visit are Bob Marlin, Soledad Spanish, Biggs and Red Platter.
