El Nido Gastronomy — From Art Cafes to Beach BBQ
El Nido Town is small enough to explore on foot, but there are long wait times at popular restaurants in the evening after island hopping. The standard itinerary before the tour is an art cafe for breakfast and a beach barbecue for dinner. Power outages are frequent and card terminals are unstable, so be sure to prepare plenty of cash (pesos) and factor in ATM fees.
