Why it matters
Why Ver De El Nido is worth your time
A vegan menu with real range is unusual in a small Palawan town. Ver De lets a vegetarian or egg-free family eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in one place without checking each dish for fish sauce or egg.
The sources do not all agree on how vegan the whole operation is: one hotel listing calls it a mostly vegan dining experience, while Spinach and HappyCow list it as fully vegan. If the distinction matters for your family, ask the staff directly before ordering.

How to experience it
Ver De is described by HappyCow as an upscale plant-based restaurant, the third location of the brand in El Nido town, and Spinach says everything on the menu is vegan. Dishes named across the sources include bang bang tofu, dan dan noodles, Beyond Meat burgers, seitan steak, pasta, bowls, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, crème brûlée and cake. Breakfast is served from 7 to 10 am.
Reviewers on HappyCow describe the menu as so long it reads like a book, so take a minute to decide. Rolling Grace notes generous portions, and the bang bang tofu is the starter that Spinach and the blog both mention.
Because the choices cover Mexican, Italian and Asian cooking, a family with mixed tastes can usually agree on something. Spinach lists card and mobile payment, which makes the bill simpler than in most cash-only town cafes.
