Tawhay Resto Cafe is a restaurant and cafe on the Siquijor Circumferential Road in Lala-o, San Juan. A glass-fronted building with a TAWHAY RESTO CAFE signboard has coconut palms behind.
Inside, rattan pendant lamps hang over long wooden tables, a counter holds baked goods under glass domes, and a lounge corner has a black sofa and framed leaf prints. The one food photo shows fried fish with peppers and black beans.
Visitor comments compiled on Wanderlog mention a menu that pairs Filipino dishes such as sweet-and-sour fish fillet and barbecue honey ribs with Malaysian curry and beef rendang, plus halo-halo, milkshakes and coffee drinks. Visitors also describe an air-conditioned seating area, freshly baked goods and live music in the evenings, and some note that food can take a while to arrive because dishes are cooked fresh.
Good to know: Dishes named in the comments, such as the curry and ribs, do not appear in the photos, which date from 2026, after the July renovation. Prices are not listed here; music schedules and opening hours may change, so check locally before planning a visit.
