While exploring lunch options in Naga City, I came across Geewan, a popular restaurant situated in the heart of the city. Known for its excellent Filipino dishes and Bicol cuisine, Geewan offers a wide variety of local foods, including vegetables cooked in coconut milk with hot peppers (sili). The only challenge might be finding parking on the bustling street where the restaurant is located.

Ever since I was just a student at the University of Nueva Caceres we used to hang around and made a try of their handful menu but among the best that stands out is the kare-kare and sizzling pinangat I really missed those days around experiencing the quiet and picturesque from inside window glass of the outside scenery of J.Hernandez Street. Missing always the memories thanks Geewan.

Well, there are several restaurants in Bicol that have basically the same menu, and this one isn't any different. It's Goldilocks with a different name. The food is only themed more towards the Bicol dishes. It's worth a try if you're in the city.

Located just across the main plaza of Naga City is Geewan, a self-service restaurant serving Bicolano and Filipino specialities at very affordable prices. Their Bicol Express may be small in serving but big on taste (warning: this requires a lot of rice). Their pinangat and laing - both made with gabi (or taro leaves) is also very flavorful. We also went for the tortang talong, lumpia and kare-kare.
Expect a lot pf diners all throughout the day as eating here is very popular.

After we arrives we instantly saw it was canteen style but so clean and fresh enclosed in glass case with air conditioned and very clean atmosphere. You walk through the line quickly, girls get you what you want and portion sizes are great. Taste was as it looked

Geewan’s Bicol express is like eating a 7 eleven type of food. The plate is hotter than the food is not worth my money
On the other hand, their pinangat is good. I enjoyed it; Their location is convenient. Near the center of the city; the place is cozy.

Me and my friends went here because most of the locals tells us this place is where we can find good bicolano food, well the food fits its price, many choices to choose from and they have many platter combos and the laing is really nice. They also have frozen laing and bicol express for tourists and those who want to bring home the goodies

First time I tried Geewan, it was also near the hotel I stayed in.
This restaurant is located in the middle of the plaza. There’s no available parking place so you need to park along the street. It’s a cafeteria type of restaurant. You choose the viand you like which is laid out in front of you and then they microwave it to make sure it’s hot. Then at the end of the line, you tell them if you want rice or not, and the drinks of course. Then you pay at the cashier. They have comfortable chairs too. BUT I honestly don’t think the food is worth the price. I mean, come on. Microwaving food, in a restaurant, in front of your customer?

Geewan is set up like a glorified commissary, with lots of food options and incredibly cheerful staff.
You pick up a tray, and try to make a decision based on the variety of food behind the counter- veggies, noodles, rice meals, pork, chicken, fish, soups... you name it, they have it. Aside from the local dishes like pinangat and kinunot, you can find some home-style favorites like tortang talong and chicken livers.
Price point wise, you can get similar food for cheaper elsewhere, but place is clean and you can't beat them for variety.

Never leave Bicol without dropping by this restaurant. You've got to experience their authentic kinunot, pangat and Bicol Express. Actually, I love all their food. The price is also affordable. Good for families and large groups in terms of affordability. They also have take out counter wherein the foods are prepared and packed for long trips

I never used to eat spicy food just by looking at it. But when I tried their specialty, I had more rice than my usual intake. I would definitely eat there again in my next trip.

Coming from a long drive from Manila and arriving in Naga City for lunch leads you to Geewan. This is one of the popular restaurant in Naga City and I think I just found out why. With a wide array of food on their menu it will be difficult to choose, but each item on the menu is all worth it. Try their Bicolano food, try their Pinangat which is one of the best I tasted. The Lechon Kawali is perfect, although not a Bicolano Specialty, but this is one of the great. Food serving is generous, which gives good value for your money.
Of course, for every meal there comes the dessert. Their Halo-Halo the best one, very less on the ice and more on the "Sahog" this is definitely one of the best halo-halo in town. The Halo-Halo serving is just as normal but the toppings is really generous. The Halo-Halo is a must try in this joint, especially on a hot summer.
Despite arriving on a lunch rush time, the staff are very accommodating and we are seated immediately upon entry. The staff always offers for assistance and always wear their pleasant smiles. This place is highly recommended if you are looking for mommy's home cooked kitchen foods.
