It’s all about love - Edit
This little restaurant has a special place in our hearts. We ate here every day during our week in Moalboal! There were so many options that we didn’t even get through half of the menu. Particular favorites were the nachos, burritos, massaman curry.
Read moreHow amazing to have a fully vegan cafe in this small town.
Yes, it takes time for the food to come out because it is made fresh. They have games that you can play and we always went with a deck of cards.
Thanks Charlie, for an amazing week at Lovegan

Many vegan options available - Edit
We were there many times, always tried Someting new. There is plenty of options. I am glad that there is Fully vegan restaurant there🙏🏻 the place is always busy, and there is just one person on the bar so i felt sorry for him that he has to take the orders, payments and also do the drinks. So the only issue is that you have to wait a bit longer especial on the evening . Food is lovely

Good vegan food, huge portions - Edit
It’s great to find an entirely vegan restaurant in a small seaside town. The menu is big so you’ll find something you like. Prices are on the higher end for this town, but the portions are sizeable so I hat makes up for it. Consider sharing dishes (or coming very hungry) since the portions are big. I had the pancakes (huge and filling), the local noodle dish, the adobo chick’n, and a smoothie bowl. All were delicious. Note that the fruit drinks are quite sweet and must have added sugar. The ube matcha was only moderately sweetened. I didn’t try any of the coffee drinks.

From breakfast options (all day) to local dishes and more standard dishes, is everything available making it hard to choose. The peanut chocolate milkshake was great!

For one it's so exciting to have such a huge many with so many options I'll be vegan! I had to chat with the owner and she is absolutely a beautiful person. We spoke about the menu and I love that she makes most of the items herself. Very few are outsourced. I've had the pancakes and they are absolutely amazing! Also had the breakfast tacos which were incredibly huge portions. Also tried the adobo and the spam and everything is absolutely tasty. You really can't go wrong here! And what everyone needs to understand is that every single meal is made as the order, so you will wait up to 30 minutes but trust me when I tell you it is worth it!

Only truly vegan place we found - Edit
Cute outdoor restaurant, beachy island vibe. We had the chicken adobo (pretty big portion), Asian twist fries (big enough for a meal), the teriaky burger (not too big) and the pancit bami (huge portion), all to die for. Their banana bread was also out of this world. We didn't have luck with the American Big Breakfast, it wasn't good at all and the portion wasn't big either.
Read moreOverall, however, we love this place.
Pros: Atmosphere, Portions are good size, Very very delicious
Cons: American big breakfast, Tables and Chairs aren't the most comfortable

Best Vegan Meal We Had in the Philippines 😋 - Edit
This was hands-down the best restaurant we ate at during our entire trip. The food was incredible and the vibe was everything — open-air, tropical, super relaxed, and the staff were so kind and welcoming.
Read moreWe tried two different pancakes, the onion rings, basil fried rice, and a few drinks. The standout, without question, was the cinnamon roll pancakes. They were absolutely delicious — soft and fluffy with a slightly crisp top layer that reminded me more of a French-toast crust than anything else. That caramelized top was unreal and made the whole dish sooo good. Definitely a must-order here.
FYI: It’s cash only, so make sure to bring pesos!

Our go-to spot in Moalboal - Edit
Variety of vegan options, the restaurant ended up being our go-to spot in Moalboal , we even ordered takeaway and the food hit the spot. While above average in price, portion sizes are fairly generous. Friendly staff, one evening they even gave us a complimentary banana bread as they were closing the shop. They also had an actually good matcha latte which we had been craving throughout our time in the Philippines. Also got to taste Adobo for the first time here which was great, wish we took photos of it. The only negative comment is that they got our drinks order wrong twice on two separate occasions but we're very accommodating in fixing the order.

unreal - Edit
only place I ended up trying in Moalboal as we loved it sooo much. Huge menu and everything we tried was so good (especially the pancakes). Expensive but fair as the portions are so big. Only downfall is the service can be a little slow and not everything comes together but it’s really worth the wait.

We ate at Lovgan every day during our stay in moalboal because the food was that good. The portions were huge, everything was delicious and fresh and the staff was amazing. There are tons of different options and different cuisines and there wasn't a single thing we didn't like. Wish every restaurant was this good 😍😍😍

Support this new-ish vegan restaurant - amazing food and lovely staff - Edit
Me and my partner went here every day while we stayed in Moalboal. Fully vegan and everything I've tried so far has been good to amazing. I highly recommend the pesto burger, breakfast burrito, banana bread, and the big breakfast plate. The spam fried rice and pancakes are good as well. Also their hazelnut latte is very nice, and the lemonade drinks...you get the idea 😁.
Read morePrices are more like western prices but imo worth it for what you get. You won't leave hungry I can guarantee that, as portions tend to be on the bigger side :). The staff are really nice too and friendly.

Adobo, pancakes, the bang bang burger, nachos, the smoothies - Lovegan kept us well fed on our visit to Moalboal. A cute cafe, and so much deliciousness to make your way through! Pancakes were probably my stand out. Probably the best I’ve ever had, in the world, of all time!

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. I’ve been the the Philippines a couple of times and this is by FAR the most amazing food I’ve had here.

If you don’t come here you’re missing out #Veganuary
Pros: Carne asada fries, Dos tacos , Spring rolls
Cons: Only thing is you need more tortillas for the faji
