Dinner at Cafe Lawis

We had an early dinner at Cafe Lawis, which is just across from Dauis Church in Bohol. The cafe was highly recommended by friends and we just had to try it out on our first day of our recent vacation in Bohol. We arrived at Dauis Church just at sunset and were rewarded with a great view from the pier behind the church complex. (I will feature photos of the sunset in another post.) Meanwhile, following are a few photos we took at Cafe Lawis. We weren't so hungry as we had a hearty meal at NAIA Terminal 3 prior to our flight so we just tried their chicken roulade and calamares, and had very refreshing dalandan juice and lemongrass drink. They also had pasta and paninis for those who prefer to take a break from rice meals. However, what we really wanted to try was their souffles, which were also highly recommended. We were not disappointed with our meals and we were tremendously satisfied with their chocolate souffle, which we were advised took 30 minutes or so to prepare. It's probably the best chocolate souffle we've taste and we have tasted not a few of these in our travels.

I took a photo of the Clairvoyant with the centuries old Mariveles tree that provides a canopy over the outdoor tables of the cafe. There are actually two areas under two trees (there was a smaller Mariveles) where receptions are also probably held after weddings at the picturesque Dauis Church. 

The Clairvoyant took a photo of me with the lights of Tagbilaran in the background across from the strait between Panglao and Bohol Islands. The other tables were already reserved for large groups.

Best chocolate souffle! The ice cream is just a bonus for what we thought was the best souffle we've tasted and the perfect cap to our delicious dinner.
