Eating out and bar hopping is an all time Filipino thing from all walks of life, young and old alike. Bohol has scores of restaurants and bars each offering a variety of atmosphere to cater ones choice but share the same sumptuous popular Filipino dishes on their menu. International cuisine is offered in some restaurants but Filipino dishes are customary in most restaurants.
Restaurants are everywhere in Bohol but I highly recommend eating out on open air seafront restaurants with more comfy and relaxed setting to take pleasure in while having a meal. The menu is wide-ranging everything from fresh sea foods, vegetables, meat, you name it. Chicken barbecue, grilled fish, “kinilaw” or fresh fish salad, roasted pork, lechon and sisig are just few of the most popular dishes offered in restaurants.
Live bands, KTV, karaoke bars and discotheque are nightly scene in Tagbilaran not to be under rated. Check it out.

Shopping in Bohol is comfy, chic, wide-ranging and a blend of both modern and old-fashion style. You an either opt for the air-conditioned modern shopping malls and supermarkets or simply go for the open air dry and wet markets around the city center of Tagbilaran and everywhere else around the island.
Best buys in Bohol are hand-woven items made from bamboo, wicker, nito, buri, rattan, sig-id and other native materials. The most popular ones are the baskets at Sunday Market in Antequera. Other items include wooden furniture, wall decors, hampers and handcrafted souvenirs, fashion accessories and decors made from shells.
Don’t leave Bohol without a “kalamay” in tow. Made from grounded coconut milk, sticky rice or 'malagkit' and dark sugar, “kalamay” is a popular Filipino delicacy stuffed in coconut shell tethered with a red paper in the middle. The best place to buy “kalamay” is at the municipal market in Jagna.
