They are open for lunch, dinner, brunch and late night. It's good for large groups, couples, romantic, scenic view, bar scene and special ocassions. It's good for kids but you need to watch your kids because it has water underneath.

I like to come here for drinks not for food but it's nice to try their foods also. I ordered Coron Island Tortiya got tortiya underneath, tuna, mozzarella cheese, egg, potatoes and somethings else. Remember the single or small Tortiya is enough for two person.

Beef Steak with Broccoli

For some reason I don't like their spaghetti it taste international its not bad but I have a different taste. I like the local Filipino taste of spaghetti.
Food is good for moderate price they have a variety of vegetarian dishes. Service is okay but you need to pay the bill on the first floor because they are lack of waiter/waitress. Its good for early dinner for sunset view.

Three good things

  2. Best place for vegans.

re42.jpg

Most people come here are Filipino for cheap meals. It's good for families with children, large groups and local cuisine. They are open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night.

re44 (2).jpg

This restaurant has a ready cooked meals if you might like it but they have also menu if you want to order food that you like. But you need to wait for 30 minutes to prepare the food. This restaurant is like Filipino's choice. Inexpensive food but very bad service. I like to eat here when I'm graving fish the fact that they have cheap fish dishes compared to other restaurants.

Fried Lapulapu

Beef Menudo

I recommend this for Filipino's that are looking for cheap meals but I don't recommend this to foreigners who are looking for international food.

The location is along the road so its a bit polluted because of the tricycle and the restaurant is very open. They only accept cash but they have a Wifi. The first time I went here I had a good internet connection but the second time it wasn't.

re70 (2).jpg

I ordered Vegetable Fried Rice it's good but for some reason I taste something because they put different kind of pepper that I taste bad. It looks international dish so maybe my taste is the problem. The service is good and the food is okay but I'm not satisfied.

We ordered Green Mixed Salad and appetizer but I was disappointed for the Mixed Green Salad it's just white lettuce instead of green salad but they have good pizza. Seafood Risotto and Pizza are really good the reason why Altrove is #1 because people likes pizza and they like Italian food.

Quattro Stagioni

The famous four season; Mushrooms, Artichokes, Ham and Olives.
re200 (2).jpg

I'm not really a fan of Altrove because I like better the Asian foods but it depends on your taste. It's a bit pricey but 1 pizza is enough for 3 persons except guys :) we know guys eat a lot more than girls. Food is good and service is okay. The place is cozy and the ambiance is nice.

Reminder:

Don't expect too much on vegetarian dishes as I know not that much farms in Coron and they are lack of water away from the town.
WiFi is not working in some restaurants and other establishments.
Don't expect a good service because most restaurants in Coron are lack of waiter/waitress.
