This place has a lot of potential. Like everywhere else in the Philippines, ordered meals take a bit of time so be prepared to wait. We ate at Serai quite a few times during our 1 month stay in Pacifico. They have moved about 50 meters North on the right hand side into a newly built timber shack. Owner and wait staff are always pleasant and happy.

Must visit when in Pacifico!! Amazing smoothies and delicious food. Very tasteful and high standards, run by lovely family. Not comparable to other restaurants in town, go and try yourself! Restaurant has moved a few hundred meters up the road and now has ocean view :-)

A humble, no frills and no fuss roadside resto.
One may not take a second look at this resto because of its looks being a make shift resto with a few tables and chairs on a vacant space on a roadside but never judge a book by its cover.
The food here are very good and hotel standards as the owner used to be a chef in a couple of hotels in Cebu before he was hired as chef in a resort in Pacifico, San Isidro, Siargao.
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, resort operations stopped and finally, super typhoon Odette totally destroyed the resort.
But all that did not stop the owner to find a source of income and continue the fight for survival. So he opened Serai, Malay word for Lemongrass.
Try their veggie omelette, hungarian sausage, lemongrass chicken, pita wrap, fish ala pobre.
For dessert, don't miss their banana Rum ma and their halo halo made feom fresh fruits, homemade ice cream and bizu like milky shaved ice.
All at very cheap prices.
Please support this restaurant when in Pacifico, San Isidro, Siargao.
Look for chef Jay Rodriguez.

This place has moved a few hundred meters north on the opposite side of the road. The best food & service we had during our stay in Siargao!
Plenty of options for breakfast lunch and dinner and a really nice setting with comfortable light in the evening.
Their juices are a must try as well!!
