Twenty4

Twenty4 is a well-known name in Lazi's food scene — burgers, pizza, an in-house bakery and a genuinely strong vegan menu, drawing both locals and travellers from well beyond Siquijor.

There are now two Twenty4 in Lazi, 1.4 km apart — both open. Check which one you are aiming for before setting off.

Twenty4 Cafe and Burger Bar, in Catamboan, is the original: 4.4/5 on close to 750 Google reviews, and currently ranked #1 among Lazi restaurants on TripAdvisor (4.8/5, 156 reviews). Twenty4 Restaurant & Events, in Nagerong, is the newer one: 4.8/5 on close to 280 Google reviews, run by chef Simon, with an open kitchen and a local-produce approach. The two share the brand and most likely the same owner, but no official source states it outright.

What to order at the Burger Bar: the churros, with dipping chocolate, are the most praised item on the whole menu, including by guests who had eaten them in Spain. Then the in-house bakery: ciabatta, baguettes, Italian bread and Japanese milk bread, with several guests calling it the best bread of their trip to the Philippines. The coffee is French press, from a house blend. For mains: thin-crust pizza, Angus cheeseburger, and a vegan offer that is rare on the island, with a vegan platter for two, hummus and falafel, and a jackfruit burger. Bread should be ordered in advance.

At Simon's place in Nagerong: homemade sourdough, coconut herb rice bowl, fish tacos, seared tuna, pastries. Open 8am-9pm. Prices sit a notch higher.

Our honest take: a few reviews from 2023-2024 flagged a rough patch at the Burger Bar (long waits, forgotten orders, cold plates), but it's clearly bounced back — it currently ranks #1 of Lazi's restaurants on TripAdvisor. Both addresses are genuinely worth the stop; which one to pick comes down to what you're after — burgers, bakery and churros at the original, or Simon's sourdough and rice bowls at the newer Nagerong spot.
