Buglas Isla Cafe - Dumaguete

Get the TAHO CHEESECAKE and the Tableya Drink Service is as well. Perfect spot to chill.

Our first meal in Dumaguete took place here and what a really cosy way to start discovering the city. We just took a brief walk from our hostel going here and you'd really appreciate d exterior of d resto as soon as you begin approaching it. Overall, we had a great time here!

Their breakfast board and other offerings are fantastic! Fit our party of 5 very well. Service was superb. Ambiance is wonderful. Made for a magical breakfast.

The restaurant setting is nice, and I love the architecture of the place. The vibe and service were good. The food presentation was great, but the taste and flavor were totally underwhelming. I ordered chicken and waffles, and Ensemada bread pudding. The chicken was bland, and they didn't offer syrup with the dish, so you'd have to ask. Although their homemade pancake syrup is pretty good. Their Ensenada bread pudding was actually pretty decent tasting, but it was hard and dry. This place was actually a bit disappointing. Only if their food was as good as their restaurant setting and presentation.

The food at this restaurant is mediocre at best. In my opinion, it is highly overrated and does not justify the high prices. Considering it is summer, but the temperature inside the restaurant is not adequately cool. I ordered a burger that cost ₱400, and to be honest, I have had much better-tasting burgers that were significantly cheaper. While the overall experience was okay, you won't be missing out on anything else. It's a bit disappointing, to say the least. I suggest you either check out the place for yourself if you're curious, or simply skip it altogether. There are plenty of other restaurants in Dumaguete that offer similar or even lower prices but provide far better food quality. Save your money and explore other dining options that will truly satisfy your taste buds.
