Our trip to Naga City introduced me to a lot of restaurants. Among the most memorable, of course, is one we designated as our midway stopover either way of our trip. Daph's along the Pan Philippine Highway or Asian Highway 26 (AH 26) is easy to spot along the road in Plaridel, Quezon. It's basically the only big restaurant there (others are more like eateries) and is strategically located along the seaside. The restaurant offers an excellent panorama of the sea (actually Lopez Bay) and Alabat Island in the horizon.

| The restaurant provides travelers with fine vistas of the sea. This is certainly something many people would like to have as a view while working or relaxing. |
 |
| Crispy tapa for our tapsilog with native hot chocolate on the side for our breakfast en route to Naga City |
 |
| Restaurant interiors - nothing fancy, all functional or utilitarian |
 |
| You can't miss the restaurant and its large sign along the highway |
 |
| Sizzling tanigue (Spanish mackerel) steak for our lunch on our return trip to Manila |
 |
| Pancit (fried noodles) |
 |
| Halabos na hipon (shrimps cooked in salt and water) - a simple but very satisfying dish |
 |
| Their version of grilled squid is very tasty especially with their barbecue sauce |
The food here is definitely good for a no frills type of restaurant. The prices are also just right considering their target market are travelers making stopovers during what would usually be long trips using their own vehicles (not those taking the bus). The staff at Daph's are very attentive and helpful with the menu. The owner-manager also is usually there and checks his customers from time to time; making sure they are served properly and in a timely manner. The restrooms are clean and there's adequate parking spaces. What more can I say but it is highly recommended for a stopover for people traveling between Bicol and Metro Manila.
