Absolutely amazing!

The chef here is a kind, gracious, and soulful woman. If you get the chance, try the donuts! I could eat them every day.

Pros: amazing donuts!, kind staff, great vibe

Cons: a bit pricey, but that's to be expected at resorts

Amazing high vibe food and lovely staff!

Ate here almost everynight for breakfast & dinner. They just recently changed the menu. Everything is delicious, can take a litter longer but staff is great. On the new menu, my fav are the tacos & roasted pumpkin. For breakfast taro hashbrowns, smoothie bowl and pancakes. If they have matcha muffins when you're there deffs grab one!

Prices are fair, simlar to other resort spots around the area & ask for the walking shortcut - takes you right into GL.

They close from 3-6pm for a break

Good food/small portions

If you're a tiny person who doesn't mind waiting a long time for your food and paying 20% more than other places, you'll probably love this place. Both of my experiences here were a disappointment. Bland 'chocolate' quinoa porridge. I don't really understand the chocolate part of this dish. I figured they'd drizzle a little chocolate on top, but it was heavily mixed in. First time I haven't finished a dish probably in my adult life. My second experience the food was great, but I left hungry, even after splitting a dessert with my girlfriend. If I'm going to be paying more for food I at least want to leave full and satisfied. The vibe of the place is decent. Wear mosquito repellent at night.

Pros: Food is healthy and some dishes really good

Cons: Small portions for dinner/expensive/long wait

Variety and quality

All vegan restaurant in a yoga and hotel. It’s off the beaten path and a bit hard to find. Look for Lotus Shores signs

Pros: All vegan , Diversity of options, Flavorful

Cons: A bit more expensive than other options

Takes a while but amazing!

The food takes a while to be made as it’s a small kitchen but the food is AMAZING!!! So much variety and creativity in the menu. Little pricey for the Philippines but still cheap for western prices!
Highly recommended!

Pros: Great breakfast menu, Great afternoon/evening menu, Super chilled vibe, yoga classes, animal friendly

Cons: Siargao prices (still great value)

Nice but a bit expensive

Very beautiful place. The vegan omelette was delicious. It’s a little pricey but the food quality and portion size is very good. Service was quite slow and there aren’t many options for coffee.

Amazing

We came here every day to eat pretty much and had some delicious food in a wonderful setting. Some of the dishes are slightly on the small side especially for the price but the food is amazing.

By far the best

Can't understand the lower reviews: been traveling in the Philippines for one month and this is by far the best food we had.
The Mexican taco bowl is out of this world.
Yes it's a bit pricey but it's worth every cent.

nice but not wow

great atmosphere & surroundings. we both got the chana masala as we had a hankering for indian food. the taste was very mediocre. i got spicy, my friend mild - no difference whatsoever. at these extortionate prices we expected a little more. can’t say we will come again.

Pros: vegan!!

Cons: very very expensive , not very flavourful

pretty good

It’s good enough to have a fully vegan option, i had a lasagna and it was really nice, however my boyfriends veggie bowl was nothing to rave about.

Pros: kitties and doggo to play with, fully vegan

Cons: in the expensive side

my favorite but...

Come here with patients and a couple of hours. the staff is super friendly and the food is the best on siargao. But it takes forever. They prepare one dish at a time in a sequential order, that goes for drinks as well. don't be surprised to wait at least an hour for a drink or dish.

Pros: Best vegan food on the island , great ambience

Cons: So sloooow.
