In Siquijor town:

Joyjoy's Restaurant. located at the beginning of he Pier of Siquijor town.

Sakura Restuarant. located in the center of town. They have a variety of dishes. P 40 and up. Great chicken curry and soups.

Sammy's Pizza. located right in the center.

Villa Marmarine. located three kilometers north of Siquijor going towards Larena. Good food, maybe the best on the island.

In Larena:

Crosspoint. located in center of town.

All the resorts offer decent meals, but are expensive. These towns are small and everybody knows where the resto's are.

Just a note: Siquijor is the name of BOTH the capital town and the Island.

Al Capone's Pizzeria, Marjunnix Building, Siquijor, Siquijor (Corner Logarta & Legaspi Streets), ☎ 3442260. 10AM - Midnight. Siquijor's best pizza using 100% imported meats and chesses. Awesome sandwiches on french baguettes! edit

Most people stay in some resort next to the beach around the island. One quiet and bit remote option is Kiwi in northwest tip of the island. If you don't mind staying away from the beach try Swiss Star in Siquijor town. It's a good value for money.

Casa de la Playa ( http://www.siquijorcasa.com/beach_resort_siquijor.htm ) is a great little resort with different cottages form P 800 and up. Nice restaurant. Nice white beach; great for swimming. Casa de la Playa is a great place to rest and read a book, no T.V. Cell: 09173232656

Dastraum Same owner as Joyjoy's restaurant. Rooms for P 300 and up. Talk to Joyjoy at her restaurant.

Villa Marmarine Near Siquijor Town on the way to Larena. It has a decked restaurant and a clean kitchen with very good food. There are grand and unique cottages of various size and cost. All have sea views. The landscaped beach is well maintained and cleaned every morning. There are lots of hammocks and a pleasant garden with soft grass. Free WI-FI. Many consider it very good value. Unusually, it is priced per person and not per cottage - prehaps reflecting the individual service provided. The resort is quite new and not in many guide books yet. The owner is well known in the community and dedicates much of his resources for the benefit of the islanders. He takes people on tours and is a very good host and entertainer. The staff are pleasant and interesting to talk to. Many are "working students" who are sponsored by the hotel to attend university during the day. http://www.marmarine.jp/en/index.html
