Very friendly owner/manager! Try the catch of the day and trust their recommendations. Good drinks. Definitely more pricey than other restaurants around, but quality and service match.

The food is cooked simple but perfect! I have never eaten any better in the Philippines. We came there every night because the Hotel Food was very poor! In my Opinion it is excellent cooking, to grill prawns and fish to perfection with spices not covering the original taste. The owner of that lovely restaurant speaks german as well :-)... More

Great atmosphere, good cocktails, nice music, amazing food and a restaurant owner that looks like a movie star. Absolutely loved the food there, try the prawns and the squid salad! This is an absolute must when in Donsol.

Don't be put off by the entrance to this place. We had wonderful meal, seafoods were fresh, simple and perfectly cooked. Didnt expect their pasta to be very tasty as well. The owner Juliet was very friendly and entertaining. A real jewel in an apparent wilderness. Enjoyed this place so much.

We stayed at Vitton (see review) and also wanted to eat somewhere else so stumbled down the beach and happened to wander into BARacuda. It didn't look like much from the beach side but we thought we'd check it out. The outgoing owner welcomed us in though it was empty at that stage. We had a couple of cocktails and... More

My boyfriend and I were staying at Vitton (right next door to the whale shark center) and we wanted to eat somewhere different. We asked someone at the front desk for a good restaurant nearby and she pointed us in the direction of BARacuda. It’s a dark walk down a dirt road to get there (we weren’t sure we were... More

Friends recomended this place and visited with friends and family. Sea food was delicious and very fresh but if you prefer vegeterian this is not the ideal choice. Also will not recommend this place for families with young children . Good for a latenight seafood meal and thats about it. Service has room for improvement as well

Grew up in Donsol but spent most of my education in neighboring cities (Legazpi & Sorsogon) and working in Manila. I never get tired coming back to this place. This is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to Donsol. The sashimi is just perfect, the squid salad totally superb and the kindness of the servers and the... More

The food was amazing! Squid salad melts in your mouth.. Prawns cooked in garlic and olive oil was the best! Ordered 2 huge ones and ordered 4 more small ones! Couldn't get enough of it...pesto pasta was perfect. Calamansi margarita is the best I've had! If you want the best local catch and local fresh produce you shouldn't miss this... More

Me, my wife and baby visited this amazing place to eat in March on 2 occasions. Juilet is a great host and has a good sense of humour.. I had the squid salad in which was so tender. Main course we chose shrimps and fresh fish. All the food is cooked very simply and the fish is grilled, this is... More
