Badjao! Badjao! Badjao! I just have to say... woohoo! They say first impressions last, and mine was unforgettable. As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I was captivated by the stunning view of the sea and lush trees, with a cool breeze and a cozy, authentic Filipino ambiance that truly reflects the spirit of Palawan. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and friendliness, making us feel truly welcome. I loved how fresh the food was, especially the seafood, which tasted sweet and delightful. The grilled fish was perfectly cooked — tender and free of any fishy aroma — a sign of excellent quality. The all-season shake was blended beautifully, allowing the fruity flavors to shine through. I also ordered a solo tanigue (mackerel) sinigang, which was a little salty, but the generous staff promptly brought us a second bowl of broth — that was a lovely touch. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, thanks to the friendly staff, delicious food, and breathtaking views. If you're visiting Puerto Princesa, you definitely should come and see this place! The food might be a bit on the pricier side, but it's worth trying for the experience. Just a heads up, you'll need to take a tricycle or car to get here, as there's no public transportation directly to the restaurant. Wahhhh that was good! I love restaurants showcasing Filipino culture and architecture and of course, Filipino cuisine. Serving was big, definitely shareable for 2. Food was served hot. Staff were friendly and attentive. I loved the Binakol. Mannn, we will never forget that! Dessert was lovely after a hearty meal We can’t wait to come back and bring our family next time ☺️ Great setting and delicious food. The eggplant with coconut milk have a nice smoky flavor- highly recommended. The curried tofu, green mango salad are also very nice. The people we were with raved about the [sizzling] pork Sisig, too and the chicken. To get to the restaurant you walk over a bridge with great views of the restored, healthy looking mangroves. Nice views of the bay as you dine.

This place is surreal. Such a beautiful and calm environment. The restaurant is over the sea which was mind blowing. We enjoyed our lunch. The food was very delicious. The staff was so friendly and the food was served within 10 minutes. The price was a little high but when I saw the location and tasted the food the price was so worth it.

It’s a little bit far from the main road but it’s worth visiting. The parking area is also wide. The pathway to the restaurant is surrounded by mangroves, it’s so relaxing and it doesn’t smell bad. Majority of the tables are located at the edge so you’ll have a view of the water and the sea. We came at lunchtime and it’s very busy but they were able to accommodate and serve us well. We ordered pork kare-kare, grilled tanigue fish, and seaweed salad. All of them are delicious. The pork kare-kare is soft and the vegetables in it are fresh and crunchy. The grilled tanigue fish is cooked perfectly and very tender and flavorful. The seaweed salad is optional for those who don’t really like the taste of the ocean but you can try it and put a lot of calamansi in it and you’re good. They also serve fresh fruit shakes. We tried the buko shake and it is so refreshing. Because it’s far from the main road, you can ask the staff to call you a tricycle if you don’t have a car. Also, major credit cards are accepted here. #jezzdoit
