Things to be aware of:

  • There are no bookings at Mosa Restaurant Bohol, so prepare to wait. We grabbed a seat at the bar and had a few scoops as we waited. It’s beautiful so hardly a chore: as you can see from  my nine-year-old below,
  • There is nothing else around it, so don’t expect to walk there from the buzzing Alona area, or exit lunch/dinner and pop next door to do something else. It’s quite isolated.
  • MOSA Restaurant Bohol now accepts cash and credit cards, so ignore any other messaging of cash-only.

From vibrant salads bursting with freshness to flavourful vegetable curries, the vegetarian offerings are a testament to MOSA’s commitment to inclusivity and culinary diversity.

Mosa Restaurant Bohol Chicken Platter

Mosa Restaurant Chimi and Polo.

Two Mediterranean-inspired roast chickens, with roasted root veggies.

PHP 899: ~ USD $16.10

Simply delicious. I love the concept of two flavours and two sauces with this MOSA dish. One was very Mediterranean (on the left) and the other very much curry flavoured, akin to a Coronation Chicken Curry. Spanking. Super-moist too. Really good, and highly recommended by ISLIFEARECIPE.net.

Mosa Restaurant Panglao Braised Rib

Mosa Restaurant: Golden Pot Roast.

Slow-cooked beef plate, marinated with herbs and served with roasted roots and mashed beetroot.

PHP 599: ~ USD $10.74 (BARGAIN!!!)

Yeah, this was good. Although one little complaint, a little dry, just a little. Still very tasty, and with that beetroot puree and some rock salt (yes it needed seasoning) was killer. Plus, I love the gold leaf touch on the top – food theatre on steroids.

Mosa Restaurant Panglao Big Steak Rib and Marrow

Mosa Restaurant: CaveMan Steak.

Slow-cooked oven-grilled beef shank, with truffle and wild mushroom cream. Served with grilled corn and mushrooms.

PHP 999: ~ USD $17.90

Yeah, this one I missed out on. But the feedback wasn’t massively positive from the Wife and kids: very chewy with lots of silver skin ( which is impossible to eat). The flavour was good though, as in the truffle sauce, especially with some of the bone marrow. Maybe we’d give this one a miss next time.

Mosa Restaurant Panglao Empenadas

Mosa Restaurant: Calzone Bites.

Calzone bread filled with beef and spices with Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheese inside.

PHP 325: ~ USD $5.83

WOOF!!! My absolute favourite today. These are up there with the very best Empanadas I have ever eaten. The pastry was killer, crunchy, and chewy all in one with a lovely salty overtone. This is the must-try here. Incredible food. #BeProudMosa

Mosa Restaurant Panglao Bruschetta

Mosa Restaurant: Quatro Bruschetta.

A slice of bread toasted in the oven or grilled often rubbed with garlic and topped with extra virgin olive oil, tomatoes, and salt in four different flavours.

PHP 325: USD $5.82

Sorry guys another bit of a miss for me. It sort of tasted like cheap Hawaiin Pizza. I kind of didn’t get it, or I missed the point altogether sorry… Now, some toasted Anchovies with this would have been killer, to add some saltiness, depth, and umami. Just sayin’: Have a look HERE

Mosa Restaurant Mocktail with Popsicle

Mosa Restaurant: Orange Bubbly.

Orange juice, Kiwi jam, lemon soda, Calamansi, lemon syrup, garnished with an orange ice pop.

PHP 219: ~ USD $3.92

Mosa Restaurant Mocktail with Teddy Bear

Mosa Restaurant: Bear-Y Bliss Smoothie.

Comes with mango and strawberry jam flavour fresh milk, and fructose, topped with diced mango fruit, mango boba, and mango bear.

PHP 258: ~ USD $4.62

Mosa Restaurant Bohol Surfboards with Jude

My little monkey finally grows into his Cat Taco shirt, which is ideal to be standing and posing next to the surfboards on display at MOSA Bohol.
