Looking for a floating restaurant nearby? Check out Alvarez Park Café
Despite their name, Alvarez Park Café is more than just a park—or café. One of their most popular attractions is The Fisherman’s Point, a two-story floating bar and restaurant that you can get to through a wooden dock with a picturesque view of the surrounding water of the Tagalag Fishing Village.
The Fisherman’s Point offers a three-course menu for lunch and a six-course menu for dinner that include fancy appetizers like Three-Kind Bruschetta Bolognese and Tuna Tataki With Summer Vegetable Quinoa, soup like Tomato Butter Miso Soup that’s served in a bread bowl, and the showstopping Pan-Seared USDA Choice Rib-eye With Polenta and Mushroom Red Wine Sauce on their entrees menu.
Aside from the set menu, The Fisherman’s Point now also offers an ala-carte selection of pizzas, steak, seafood buckets, cheese boards, and more.
