C!AO dining room under the nipa roof, facing Bolinao Bay

Pork binagoongan, one of our Filipino best sellers

Since 2019

A French chef, a Filipino bay.

C!AO was born in 2019 when our French chef fired up a brick oven above Bolinao Bay. Under the big nipa roof, Italian classics meet Filipino flavours, and every table looks out over the water.

Come for a sunrise breakfast by the bay, a long lunch by the pool, or pizza and cocktails in the evening.
