Siago Beach Resort Siargao

The restaurant at Siago Beach Resort in General Luna is run by chef Hanna Sanchez and covers a notably wide range of Latin American cuisines, with Peruvian, Costa Rican, Mexican, and Colombian dishes that reflect real knowledge of those traditions rather than a generic Latin menu. Filipino comfort food sits alongside, spanning two very different parts of the food world.

Chef Sanchez's background is the differentiator. Latin American cooking is almost entirely absent from the Siargao scene, and having someone with an actual connection to it means the food is recognisable and honest rather than approximated.

The beachfront resort setting adds to it: a considered meal in a genuinely beautiful spot, with the food to match. Focus on the Peruvian dishes if they're on that day, since a proper Peruvian-style ceviche with leche de tigre and aji amarillo is the highlight.
