Bohol Bee Farm

Back in the mid-2000s, I went to Bohol with my friends and someone in the group planned a lunch in Bohol Bee Farm. I don't remember what we ate but I do remember we all enjoyed the food. So when my family went to Bohol, I recommended we eat there.


We arrived at the Bohol pier at 10:30 AM but we felt an early lunch might be in order so that we could do all our sightseeing afterwards without interruption. Also, Bohol Bee Farm was apparently in the opposite direction of all the other places we were planning to visit so it made sense to go here first. This turned out to have an additional benefit in that there was barely anyone there when we arrived so we got our food pretty quickly. It also felt like we had the place (almost) all to ourselves.


Bohol Bee Farm was definitely an excellent choice. The food is fresh and organic and everyone in my family really enjoyed our meal. While waiting for our order, we were served squash bread with a couple of spreads (honey and malunggay, I believe).


We ordered the Seafood and Vegetable Platter (P900), which included a plateful of grilled fish, shrimp, and squid...


...and vegetable rolls with a honey-mustard sauce (I think).


We also ordered the Sinigang Shrimps (P240).


One of my nephews loves crab so we had to get the Crabs with Cocomilk (P380) as well.


We ordered a few other items and to round out our meal, we tried a few different flavors of their home-made ice cream. I can't remember which flavors we got, but the one I distinctly remember was their ginger ice cream. It was sweet and spicy and very unique!

By the time we were done eating, the place was packed! So it truly was a good move to have an early lunch. Before we left, we asked the wait staff if we could head down to "the Cliff", a lounging area on a wooden platform right by the sea. You have to walk down a short stone staircase to get there. I think only guests are allowed there but since it was vacant during lunch, we were allowed to head down to take a few photos before we left.


We didn't call ahead when we visited so reservations aren't necessary, although given that the restaurant ended up being full that Saturday, it's probably advisable to arrive early or to reserve a table. Check out this link for directions on how to get there.
