The short answer
Bohol Bee Farm Restaurant: what visitors should know first
Worth a lunch or snack stop if you are staying around Dauis or Panglao and want a sit-down meal that is not a beach-strip menu. It is not a vegetarian restaurant, so ask what each dish contains, and confirm opening hours with the resort first.

Why it matters
Why Bohol Bee Farm Restaurant is worth your time
Most visitor meals on Panglao are on the Alona Beach strip, which Wikivoyage describes as a few dozen tourist places serving mostly international food at mid-to-high prices. A resort restaurant on a working farm gives a different setting, away from the beach crowd, and a menu its owners present as organic and made from fresh, natural ingredients.
For older travellers it is also a practical choice. It is a sit-down place with a fixed address in Dauis, close to the Tagbilaran side of the island, so it fits a day that includes Dauis Church and Hinagdanan Cave without a long drive back to the beach. We could not find a vegetarian or Jain claim from the restaurant, so it is a place for flexible eaters rather than strict ones.
Highlights
What not to miss
- 01
Fresh bread and a lighter breakfast
The resort's page highlights warm baked bread and a wholesome breakfast, useful when the family wants something lighter than a rice-and-grill plate.
- 02
Homemade ice cream
A guest review on the resort page praises it. Ask about ingredients if anyone avoids dairy.
- 03
A patio over the sea
The resort page describes a patio looking over the Bohol Sea. Ask for it when you book.
Plan your visit
How to experience it
Treat this as a slow meal rather than a quick refuel. The resort's own page lists the menu under restaurant, pasta, snacks and dessert headings, and talks up warm fresh bread and a wholesome breakfast, so a mid-morning visit suits families who want something lighter than rice and grilled meat.
If anyone in your group avoids meat, fish or egg, do not assume the menu follows that rule. The page does not describe any dish as vegetarian or vegan, so ask the staff dish by dish. The same caution applies to the ice cream: a 2018 Around Bohol write-up on the farm's Alona Beach cafe says some flavours use dairy milk while others use coconut milk, so the answer can change by flavour.
Ask for a table with a sea view if you want it, keep the afternoon free of tight tour pick-ups, and finish with the homemade ice cream a guest review praises. Because the resort also runs a shop, you can look at its bee-related products on the way out, though the page does not say what is currently in stock.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Confirm opening hours with the resort before you go
- Ask about meat stock, fish sauce and egg in each dish
- Ask about dairy in the ice cream flavours
- Request a shaded or sea-view table when booking

- Walking level
- Easy
