Experiencing Serenity at Fox and the Firefly

If you’re looking for a little slice of paradise tucked away in Loboc, Bohol, you absolutely have to check out Fox and the Firefly Cottages. The first thing that hits you is the greenery—it’s everywhere, and it feels like you’ve stepped into a secret garden. The whole vibe of the place is incredibly calming, like the world just slows down a bit the moment you walk in.

I oftentimes come here for the restaurant. Food and Fables Cafe does not disappoint. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill restaurant fare; it’s honest-to-goodness “farm-to-table” cuisine. Everything is fresh, like they just picked it from the garden out back. The flavors are simple but so satisfying. You can really tell they put thought and care into every dish.

And the service? Wow. The crew at Fox and the Firefly make you feel like you’re part of the family. They’re warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to have you there. It’s like coming home to good comfort food.

One of the coolest things about this spot is its proximity to the Loboc River. From the second floor of the bamboo building where the restaurant is, you get a view of the river that’s just stunning. It’s not something you see every day, and it makes the meal that much more special.

Speaking of the bamboo building, the furniture is something else. There’s this super comfy lazy sofa that practically begs you to relax into it, and the wooden floor is just… you have to experience it with your bare feet. No shoes or slippers are allowed upstairs, and honestly, it’s the best rule ever. There’s something about feeling that smooth, cool wood underfoot that adds to the whole earthy, peaceful vibe of the place.
