Beyond the surfboards and endless palm trees, Siargao’s food scene is thriving in ways that feel fresh and inspiring. It’s not just about eating—it’s about experiences that reflect the island’s creative, resilient, and vibrant spirit. Sinag Snack Bar, Wild Siargao, and Kanaloa Beach Bar are three spots that stand out, each adding its unique flavor to the Siargao adventure.
Sinag Snack Bar: More Than Just a Snack
Sinag Snack Bar may be new to the scene, but it’s already making waves. After delays caused by the pandemic and Typhoon Odette, Sinag finally opened as an extension of Sinag Hostel. It’s not just a place to grab a bite—it’s a space for mindful living.
The owner’s journey from the corporate grind to island life is reflected in every detail. With a passion for food, health, and the Siargao lifestyle, they’ve curated a menu of veggie-based options and healing teas designed to nourish both body and soul. Sinag is also about community, offering surf lessons with experienced coaches and hosting events that bring people together. Whether you’re there to recharge after surfing or just to connect, Sinag feels like a breath of fresh air.
Wild Siargao: Elevating Island Eats
Wild Siargao has been a favorite since it opened in 2019, and it’s easy to see why. This cozy spot combines Filipino flavors with global influences, all using locally sourced ingredients.
For co-owner Jove Schrottman, Wild is about more than just business—it’s about heart. Chef Andrew Malarky agrees, describing Siargao’s magnetic energy as the inspiration behind their Wild Kitchen Takeover during the pandemic, which kept the island’s culinary community alive. With its inviting atmosphere and creative menu, Wild isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience that celebrates everything we love about Siargao.
Kanaloa Beach Bar: Chill by the Mangroves
If you’re looking for a laid-back vibe, Kanaloa Beach Bar is your spot. Tucked by the mangroves, this tiki bar offers skewers, affordable eats, and even firefly-watching experiences. Kara, one of the partners, found her purpose in Siargao, and that sense of rediscovery shines through.
Savoring Siargao
Sinag, Wild, and Kanaloa each bring something special to the table. They’re not just about food—they’re about the people, stories, and experiences that make Siargao unforgettable.
