Welcome to Tuko Café, a delightful culinary gem nestled within the Lim Hong Khu Medical Arts & Wellness Center in Tagbilaran City, Bohol. This café not only boasts delectable offerings but also provides a cozy oasis that invites you to escape the bustling energy of nearby Ramiro Hospital. As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I can assure you that Tuko Café delivers an inviting ambiance, making it a perfect spot for both casual diners and those seeking a moment of tranquility.

The name 'Tuko' is playfully inspired by the Philippine gecko, somewhat an unlikely muse for a café, yet it reflects the charm this establishment embodies. Just as the gecko can often be found resting comfortably in its surroundings, patrons at Tuko Café can find solace in its soothing interiors and warm hospitality.

Now, let’s dive into the culinary highlights. The menu showcases an appetizing variety of sandwiches, each crafted with care. The Sausage, Egg & Cheese Sandwich and the Honey Mustard Sausage Sandwich, both priced at ₱250, promise a hearty start to your day. For a vegetarian option, the Pesto Vegetable Sandwich at ₱235 is a burst of flavors, while the Cheesy Ham Sandwich offers a creamy and smoky delight for just ₱210.

Pasta lovers will surely be tempted by Tuko Café’s selection. The Pesto Pasta made with homemade sauce for ₱325 stands out, while the Carbonara with savory bacon bits and creamy sauce invites indulgence at ₱350. If you’re in the mood for something unique, the Spanish Sardines Pasta is particularly noteworthy at ₱325.

Let’s not overlook the sides. The Solo Deep-fried Potato Strips, with their cheesy taste for ₱160, are a delightful complement to any meal. And if you’re up for sharing, their Sharing Deep-fried Potato Strips at ₱350 will certainly do the trick.

Patrons have voiced their satisfaction about the café's fast Wi-Fi and ambiance. Kleinberg Fletcher Tabel captures it perfectly, noting how he felt “stuck” to this charming place—a testimony to Tuko Café’s inviting nature. However, not all reviews shine brightly; some have pointed out the occasional saltiness of dishes like the corned beef. Still, the overwhelming sentiment leans toward a positive experience, with many returning for the comfort and quality of food.

In summary, Tuko Café is a charming blend of a tranquil atmosphere and satisfying, thoughtfully prepared dishes. Whether you’re stopping by for a sandwich or indulging in a creamy pasta, the café lives up to its name, enticing you to linger just a bit longer. So why not give it a visit? You might just find yourself making it a regular stop in your culinary adventures in Bohol.
