Tugawe Cove Café; Relaxing Resort Like Café

Robinsons, Placa Naga, Al Fresco

Tugawe Cove Café is an offshoot of Caramoan’s

most popular and luxurious resort Tugawe Cove.

We have been to Tugawe Cove

in Caramoan few years ago,

…. we tremendously enjoyed the food but

never had the chance and time to go back,

so we were happy when they opened a twin

spin-off restaurant at Robinsons’ Place Naga.

We visited Tugawe Cove Café to have a

light dinner as we were still stuffed full from

the thanksgiving lunch with our employees.
Located at the al fresco section of the mall

Tugawe Cove Café has two dining areas,

…an outdoor section that most

of the time gets crowded at night,

…as it offers the best view of

the Tree of Life’s digital show,

…and a beautiful indoor dining hall with

a lovely, indigenous tropical resort theme,

…with comfy seats

and relaxing sofas.

My young son wanted to have a full dinner

and he ordered Buttermilk Fried Chicken.

Made of three huge slabs of perfectly fried

in flavorful breading, crunchy on the outside

while tender and juicy inside, served with

a generous mound of white rice, topped with

sunny side up egg and Kimchi as a side dish.

My wife had a delicious Club Sandwich,

which, unlike other traditional multi- layered

versions, this one had everything (egg, ham,

beef, and fresh veggies) on a single layer of

firm bread that does not get soggy when eaten.

My daughter enjoyed her Tugawe Lasagna.

It was a fusion of Pinoy homemade goodness

and Italian-style lasagna. There was a perfect

balance between layers of cheese, noodles,

and sauce which I believe was Bolognese

lightly flavored minced onion and garlic

I ordered a s Greek Panini but I believe this isn’t
a traditional Greek recipe. There’s something
delightful on this panini that I love- but just can't
pinpoint what it is. The warm bread, intermixing
with the wonderful flavors of mushrooms, olives,

tomatoes and the gloriously pungent feta (?)

cheese- its like a wild party in your palate.
