Tagbilaran City is a hidden gem too-often overlooked by travelers rushing to diving destinations like Panglao or to explore the white-sand beaches of Bohol and the marvels of its interior. It’s a perfect destination for those favoring slow-travel and longer stays while also having attractions for all types of traveller.
Immediately pictured above is the National Museum of The Philippines – Bohol, a must visit and which covers a remarkable breadth of both Philippine history and even geo-history for the last 100,000 years.
It is a quietly impressive venue equipped to very high standards and also fully air-conditioned. It deserves its own page – coming soon.
In terms of restaurants, cafes and eateries, Tagbilaran offers a pleasing selection in addition to several pleasing malls (& a DJI store).
Cafes & Restaurants –
Passiflora Cafe (10/10)
Location
Perfect for remote workers, offers both great coffee and a nice selection of food. Indoor & Outdoor/Semi-Outdoor seating options, close to the sea but with no direct view from lower level.
Cafe Jhel Franz – relaxed, quiet dining in the city center
Location
The Hamlet – nice decor, pleasant ambience and clearly popular with Tagbilaran residents.

Pluto “The Planetary Cafe” – for those missing the mall coffee shop experience!

Minute Fried Tagbilaran Bohol – for good, home-fried food. Enjoy your chorizo Cebu and fried hot dogs even late till 10pm, I recommend ordering Set 2.
In addition to these, there is also a Starbucks, Seattles Best, Bo’s Coffee, multiple McDonalds outlets and many Jollibees dotted around the city.
Stay tuned, more updates coming.
