Where to eat in Batanes?

Dining out in Batanes is pretty tricky. You either need to pre-order first to save you time from waiting or you have to reserve prior, otherwise, the restaurant might be closed. I don't know if this is applicable in peak season but I went there last week of November 2010. I don't think that's a low season.

You can see below the places we tried and what food we order. Check out the Facebook like icon "http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/1220/thumbsupfacebooklike.jpg" to know if it's recommended.

Fundacion Pacita

Want to eat at Fundacion Pacita? Call them up for reservations. If you're not a guest of Fundacion Pacita, you can't enter their premises. But if you dine there... you can! :) They have an excellent view of the Batan island cliffs. From there, you can hear the waves from below.

Fundacion Pacita: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Fundacion Pacita not only provides an accomodation with an awesome view of the Batan island but, it also provides awesome food!

Staying there for 4 days and 3 nights, we had the privilege to eat there several times. Breakfast is included in our accommodation package. Fundacion Pacita is just 10minutes away from Basco Airport. Upon arriving in Fundacion Pacita, I registered in their office then walked to the main lodging building, which is less than a minute away. It was everything I expected! It's even better in real life than in the photos!

We went to the room an ate our continental breakfast around 11am (no, not brunch. We had lunch around 2pm that day, as per our request)
