The seafood in Dumaguete, Philippines is really delicious and cheap. We went there for three days and had seafood dinners for dinner. The live crabs were big and meaty, the prawns were as big as my palm, the squids were chewy and refreshing, the seafood fried rice had rich ingredients, even the bitter melon was cooked very tasty, and the freshly squeezed mango smoothie was mellow and dense. The most important thing is that although the restaurant is popular online, close to the beach, and well decorated, the price is very reasonable and not outrageously expensive at all. We enjoyed it so much that we can't afford to eat like this when we return home!

Check in at Lab-as, which is said to be the best seafood restaurant in Dumaguete. The portions are really good! But the efficiency of Filipinos is even slower than that of Europeans. It takes at least an hour to serve the dishes.
The price is a bit high but it is a popular online restaurant. The dishes and prices are all based on Chinese standards, and the taste can only be said to be average. The waiters are very enthusiastic and like Chinese consumers.
This restaurant is a popular seafood restaurant in the local area, just like Lantaw next door. It is also very popular. I went there for lunch on the day before leaving. The environment of this restaurant is also very good. The area is very large. There are outdoor and indoor seats. I think the indoor space is better. There is also a musician playing the piano when I come here at noon. Locals often come here to eat. However, even if I come here at noon, I was told that there are no crabs, only lobsters. The price of lobsters is still quite expensive, so I didn't order them. The oysters here are also quite cost-effective, but the taste is slightly inferior to the one next door. Mixed vegetables, this dish is the largest portion of so many meals, but the taste is not good. Butter shrimp, this is well made, and the price is very cost-effective. Seafood shell soup, this dish is really worth recommending, the method is good, the ingredients are sufficient, and the flavor is rich. For dessert, I recommend the coconut ice cream and banana ice cream here, both of which are well made and the ice cream is very delicious. In general, the quality of this restaurant is relatively good, the prices are more favorable, and the food is served much faster than the one next door. There are even Chinese waiters.
The seafood is large in quantity and tastes very good. Friends who come to travel can try it at night! It's just that the seafood processing fee is a little expensive. Five people ate more than 700 RMB.
The taste is average. The location is by the sea. There are many Chinese people. The restaurant environment is average. Please apply mosquito repellent before eating. There are too many mosquitoes. The food is served too slowly. However, it is necessary to remind you to pay attention to the bill when paying, especially the bill for weighed dishes (fish, crab, squid, etc.). You must pay attention to the bill and the weight of the dishes! The bill will be miscalculated when paying! The last bill was changed by the store after we confirmed the bill ourselves.
A place highly recommended by food magazines It tastes really delicious, worth the reputations!
