Legend has it that Balete trees are the favoured haunt of the Kapre, a towering, cigar-smoking creature from Filipino mythology known for playing pranks on those who dare to wander near. But fear not! Our resident Kapre is more interested in good food and great company than mischief.
In fact, he’s the inspiration behind our unique fusion menu of Filipino, Spanish, Korean and Japanese and providing you an enchanting ambiance in which to dine.
We strive to be the best restaurant in Panglao and will drive that from your reviews and feedback. Whether you’re dining high up in the tree’s branches or at its sturdy base in our Kapre Sports Lair, or snacking from the Kapre Jeepney Margarita and FoodTruck, each meal will bring you a Mythical Filipino Dining & Drinking experience as legendary as the Kapre himself.
