Barbosa Siargao

Great spot for small plates type of menu if you want to order a bunch of dishes and share amongst friends. My favorites were the kinilaw, fish tacos, and the fish sando. Basically all the fish dishes tasted super fresh. My friends also loved the humba pork skewers. The music is great too! Cocktails are solid. They got a really good vibe going on over all. Would come back again.

The cocktails were epic and the food was exceptional. Credit to the chef for such amazing and quality food.

Visited on Monday night. The food was pretty good, unfortunately (like almost anywhere), the appetizer arrived together with the main dishes. You have to order mains after appetizer if you want to avoid this. Portions were on the smaller side. They have a DJ on Mondays who played nice music - but for some sad reason we were the only guests for the whole period between 18:30-20:15 we were there, which makes for a strange atmosphere :( There’s also a happy hour 2 for 1 before 19:00, and their cocktail (a sort of white Negroni) was quite alright.

Their food is so good; the flavor plays around your mouth each bite. This modern asian restaurant focuses on quality, I was able to taste their chicken, pork and shrimp! The spicyness of the shrimp is so good I even finished the sauce with the rice. Their cabbage appetizer is also interesting, you have to order it! I think their cocktails are good too I wasn’t able to try it though. But I heard they host good parties too!

Upon visiting Barbosa, I couldn't help but appreciate the inviting ambiance of the place, which certainly added to the overall experience. The establishment exudes a delightful atmosphere that undoubtedly enhances the overall dining experience. However, when it came to the food, I found the flavors to be rather discordant, almost as if they were conflicting with each other inside my mouth. This resulted in a less than satisfying culinary experience. They also had limited food options available, which left me hoping for a more varied and enticing menu. Despite these shortcomings, I do believe that with some improvements in the culinary department, Barbosa has the potential to become a more appealing dining destination.

This place is honestly one of the nicest restaurants we’ve ever eaten in. Service was great, staff are so quick and attentive. The food was so tasty. We ordered lots of things off the menu between a few of us and one dish was as tasty as the next. The cocktails are also yummy, lots of fresh new flavours. Tunes and vibes are spot on, super funky. This is a must if you’re in Siargao, will be back

10/10! We tried some of their highly recommended dishes: Green Beans for appetizer and then Shrimp and Pork for mains. Everything is sooo good! For drinks, try their Elsewhere cocktail if you’re into something refreshing. PLUS the ambience is so nice!

Great dinner service at Barbosa! Was pleasantly surprised that the bold & unique flavors Cev is known for are still present in Barbosa’s dishes, only executed differently. Definitely order the cuttlefish appetizer if you want to try something new! Meanwhile, the crispy potatoes and the chicken main were classics done right —with a tangy twist.
