Duyan Cafe, Silay City Negros Occidental

Duyan Cafe is the latest Instagrammable foodie spot to pop up in Negros Occidental.

Tucked away in the mountains, this hipster heaven was one of the top recommendations given to us by friends when visiting Bacolod. And it didn’t disappoint!

‘Duyan’ translates to cradle or hammock in English, from the native Filipino language Tagalog. And what better setting than to sit in a hammock and watch over the surrounding mountains whilst enjoying your breakfast.

Serving up fresh cakes, sandwiches and of course local rice dishes, Duyan Cafe is a definite hot spots amongst both locals and tourists.

With its walls covered in graffiti, it was like watching a video clip on repeat as people would come in, snap their selfies and then find a spot to chill and enjoy their brunch.

We didn’t stop for long, as we had a few other Bacolod tourist spots to get to, but we can definitely recommend either popping by for a bite with a view. Or even taking a book up and relaxing amongst nature.

HOW TO GET TO DUYAN CAFE

Located up in the mountains, Duyan Cafe is a little outside of everything local but well worth venturing out to.

The best options are to hire a driver for the day or rent scooters from Bacolod. You can rent scooters in Bacolod for around 400 Pesos per day.

It’s roughly a 45 minute drive from Bacolod City and easy enough to find by following google maps.

A great day would be to visit Duyan Cafe for breakfast/brunch and finish with The Ruins in the evening.
