Wonderland (Vegan)

Wonderland is Siquijor's fully vegan restaurant on the road to Paliton Beach, cooking fusion plates with an Asian accent — tofu nigiri, curry, soba noodles, chilli — alongside coconut milk, tofu, tahini, feta and labneh, all made from scratch in the kitchen.

4.7/5 on 620 Google reviews, by far the largest review count of any restaurant on the island, and a rating that does not move. This is Siquijor's fully vegan restaurant, on the road to Paliton beach.

Wonderland's real argument is not that it is vegan, it is that everything is made on site: the coconut milk, the tofu, the plant-based cheeses, the seasonings. The kitchen is run by women who prepare everything fresh each day. That is what reviews repeat most, and it is why the place convinces people who are not vegan at all.

What to order: the smoothie bowls in the morning, the scrambled tofu, the crispy tofu tacos, the pumpkin curry. The coffee is very well rated (ask for a cortado) and there is a local cocoa worth trying. To finish, the chocolate fudge. Nut-free options are available, mention it when ordering.

The communal dinner is the other reason to come: one long table, one set menu, 400 ₱. Sources disagree on the time (7.30pm or 8pm) and the days (Monday to Friday according to TripAdvisor). Confirm on site during the day.

Opening hours: 7am-10pm, confirmed by two independent sources. No closing day reported.

Good to know: the hostel sits behind the restaurant, in nipa huts, with free weekday workshops, yoga and board games. The wifi is good, which is not common here. One complaint recurs: portions are small, and prices sit a notch above the local average. Phone: +63 908 454 8921.
