About this place Squidos

Squidos is a casual traveller restaurant on the Taytay-El Nido National Highway, the sort of backpacker canteen you find across Southeast Asia: a long menu that runs from Filipino plates to Western comfort food, drinks, and a TV that is rarely switched off. It is a mainstream gay-friendly place, not a gay venue. It opens 08:00-22:00 Monday to Saturday and from 10:00 on Sunday, so it works for breakfast as well as dinner. Google reviews are mixed (3.1 from about 180), with service the usual complaint, so treat it as a convenient fallback rather than a destination. Older listings also mention a hilltop sister spot north of town for sunset drinks; check locally whether it is still running.

We had breakfast and were the only ones in there. Service was fast. Food was very basic but at a good price.
