C's Kitchen

The restaurant is much appreciated for its warm and friendly atmosphere. Customers often talk about the ‘good vibes’ that emanate from the place, accentuated by the friendly and attentive service. The waiters are always ready to extend a warm welcome to every customer who walks through the door, making sure they feel comfortable and well looked after.
C's Kitchen is best known for the quality and variety of its cuisine. The culinary team works tirelessly to create new, tasty dishes that customers can find on the regularly updated menu. The dishes are always prepared with care, looking good and tasting absolutely delicious.

Cheap, and good. C's Kitchen is a local Larena address that cooks most of the Filipino classics properly. This is not a travellers' table: it is where the people who live here eat.

Why you will not find it anywhere else: C's Kitchen is not on TripAdvisor, not on the aggregators, and posts on no social network. That is not a sign it has closed, it is simply how a local business runs when the people behind it have no reason to bother with the internet. The consequence for you is straightforward: you will not run into other tourists, and you will pay what locals pay.

What to order: the menu is everyday Filipino cooking, adobo, sinigang, pancit, fish and chicken dishes, rice. The kitchen changes what it offers depending on the market. Ask what is ready: in this kind of place, what has come out of the day's cooking always beats what you have made to order.

Where and when: in Larena, a short distance from the port. Opening hours are published nowhere. For this style of kitchen, the good window remains the middle of the day, between 11am and 1pm, when the choice is widest.

Bring cash. That is the rule for every local address on the island.
