The chicken burger was very rich and soft. We also ordered a chilli dish with meat that was very tasty and two bowls of rice with chicken. Food is plentiful and you don’t get hungry, especially rice dishes.
The place is very nice, clean and with a very professional service. We recommend going early because they close the kitchen at 21:30.
Highly recommended.

The terrace of Alfresco is simply the best in town, very nice views and wonderful atmosphere. The music is good, the food is very tasty and the beer is frozen. The price is very reasonable and on top of that there are no extra charges when settling the bill. They also have good options for vegetarians. Highly recommended.

Fantastic terrace surrounded by coconut palms and sea view, thanks to this the place is very airy without the need for air conditioning.
Vegan food among the best on the island with multiple proposals from appetizers to desserts, in addition to traditional Filipino cuisine.
Fresh, quality food with low (for us Europeans) prices.
It is also possible to drink cocktails.
The service was impeccable.
Well done Alfresco! Especially for your philosophy in wanting to use local products!

I've visited already this place 4 or 5 times in the last months. The atmosphere is unique, the staff is lovely and the food is the best in town.
Very complete menu. The tuna is a must.

My boyfriend and I came to Al Fresco after receiving some flyers about the new opening returning from one of our tours to the beautiful Calamian islands. We ordered several different dishes and beer. There was a really chilled atmosphere with nice music, comfy sofas and super friendly staff :) we were served free peanuts with our beers while waiting for our dishes. The food was amazing. You must try the Spring rolls! They’re divine!

This is, by FAR the most professionally run restaurants I have eaten in or seen in all my time travelling through the Philippines. The service and staff are friendly and efficient, the menu is varied, tasty and food looks great, the venue is spotlessly clean and the bar has a great range of spirits and well made cocktails. Hats off to the owners and management, GREAT job !

We checked this place out because it has great reviews, good pictures and was close to where we were staying. We were all pleasantly surprised at the pleasantly lit, fresh looking and modern rooftop space! The prices are slightly higher than other places in the area but the quality of the food and presentation justifies it, in my opinion. I will definitely go back. Highly recommended if you're staying in Coron!

A very nice restaurant, with a very good meal. The tuna was very delicious, especially with flavor. We could not enjoy the Spanish tortilla, because we arrived later than 18:00, but still, everything was very Rico.
It’s nice to see some Spaniards triumph outside Spain and bring their flavors to the other side of the planet. The place is worth it and the staff very attentive.

This is a lovely little rooftop bar tacked away in Coron. It is a bit tricky to find but worth the effort. View is lovely. Cocktails are good and reasonably priced. Food was also good. They seem to be trying to be sustainable and use local fresh ingredients. Worth a visit

The best ceviche I have tasted (incredible sauce/marinade & large pieces of tuna. The Açai bowl was pretty delicious too. Very funky music whilst I was there & attentive, chatty staff. So good I’m taking a friend tonight. Oh…& the view… particularly at sunset is worthy of the effort to get there. Al Fresco put a smile on my face that lasted hours.

Very nice place with rooftop restaurant overlooking the bay and palmtrees and street. We went there for drinks (fresh mango juice) and had dinner one night but only eat starters then because we were not feeling very well. The mango juice is the best! Springrolls average and cheese sticks and fries with dips ok. But I think their mains are very good but we stopped eating because we didn’t feel well. Service, toilet and atmosphere and music very good. You can only pay cash.

This was the best place we found in Coron for meal and drinks. For a lovely view of the bay, tasteful decor, cleanliness and a thoughtful well rounded menu this is the place to go in Coron. We had the grilled tuna with mango salad and a burger and fries and they were both great compared to similar dishes we had tried in El Nido and Boracay. They also had the cleanest toilets of any resto in Coron and El Nido

In a very backward alley up some stairs you finally find ‘Alfresco’ it was recommended to us, and we were expecting great food .
However, the atmosphere and the cocktail of the week ( Boracay Sunset) was the highlight of the restaurant for us.
As it is a rooftop restaurant ‘downtown’ we were expecting a nice view, but this is not the case.
We were told that the tuna and the burgers were their speciality, as we weren’t in the mood for Raw Tuna, we decided on the burgers. Sadly the burgers were not very good at all. Very dry and bland, but the Boracay
Sunset cocktail was delicious!

+ Extremely friendly and cordial waiters
+ Great view of the sea and the mountains of Coron Island.
+ Relaxed atmosphere with chill music
+ Great modern interior design
+ The food selection currently consists mainly of snacks, which and can fully convince taste. Especially the chilis with mozarella, spring rolls and homemade fries were great. The menu is to be expanded in the future. Free peanuts were served.
+ Beverage selection is large, something for everyone and visually beautifully arranged.
+ Very environmentally conscious and electricity is solar generated. Straws are made of glass, other materials are reusable
+ There was a lot of attention to detail, e.g. appealing design of the menu
+ We celebrated our anniversary and got two cocktails and one brownie for free
In a few months the place will become the top address on Coron and this is highly deserved! We wish the owner and employees all the best. Salamat, thank you again :)

We have not eaten this bad before. Since we arrived in the Philippines we have always enjoyed the food.
First time in years I had to complain about the food. A part from the starter the rest was terrible.
Shiitake mushroom rice was mushy, cold, ingredients didn’t blend. I literally left it after just one taste.
We (8 of us) were all passing around the food hoping someone would find our food choices acceptable but
The restaurant itself is pleasant but the food was awful.
We believed the reviews, genuine reviews??
