A jeepney is a popular and iconic form of public transportation in the Philippines, originating from repurposed US military jeeps after World War II, now known for their colourful decorations and kitsch designs. So, at the Kapre we have taken it one stage further with the one and only on Panglao: The Kapre Jeepney Food Truck selling some delicious streetfood style dishes you can consume with a single hand, leaving the other one free for our delicious frozen margaritas. Look out for her across the island, and maybe even jump in the back and we’ll give you a lift to the restaurant.
What do you get when you take a classic Filipino Jeepney, pack it with a roaring flat-top, throw in some Filipino-Korean-Japanese fusion magic, and add frozen margaritas? You get the Kapre Jeepney Food Truck, the wildest roadside feast on wheels in the Philippines! 🚛🔥
Parked right under the legendary Balete Tree at The Kapre Restaurant & Bar and driving across Panglao Island, this pimped-up-jeepney isn’t just a feast for your stomach—it’s a feast for your eyes. Bright colours, neon lights, and a menu packed with handheld street food snacks, with icy cold margaritas all served food-truck-style.
The best part? Late-night eats, beats, and maybe… a little supernatural company? 🌙👀 You may even see the Kapre himself cooking from the van – we had to lift the roof by 3″ so he could stand up.. But don’t worry—he only steals bites, never whole meals. (we think.). So grab your food from the hatch, find a spot under the Balete, and let the Kapre Jeepney Food Truck take you on a flavour road trip like no other on Panglao! 🚀🌮 Look for her outside the restaurant but also across the island. She’ll be parked up serving:

Depends on who you ask! Our Balete tree is legendary, but the only spirits we guarantee are in your cocktail. 🍸👻 #HaveYouSeenTheKapre
Absolutely! We have tree-top dining spots for those who want dinner with a view—just don’t blame us if the Kapre “borrows” a bite. 🌳🍽️ You’ll need to book in advance as we book up pretty quick each day. Also the 2nd floor space is ideal for weddings, birthday and celebrations. Or just chill on the ground floor at our sports bar.
Walk-ins are welcome, but book ahead if you want the best seats in (or under) the tree! The Kapre may be patient, but hungry diners aren’t. 📅🔥
A wild fusion of Filipino, Korean, and Japanese flavours, including our specials from the Asador BBQ and kimchi sisig to halo-halo waffles and ice cream with bacon. 🍢🍣🍨
Of course! Our bar is fully stocked with cold beers, signature cocktails, and enough liquid courage to get you dancing under the Balete tree. 🍻🎶 We also show sports from across the world, at the necessary time zones of where that sport is being shown. The Kapre loves his English Premier League.
Yep! Expect live bands, DJs, and island vibes all night long. If you hear extra footsteps on the dance floor... well, let’s just say you’re never alone at the Kapre. 🎵💃
Yes! Birthdays, celebrations, even mystical summoning rituals and sacrifices (just kidding… or are we?). Hit us up to book your night under the tree! 🎉🌙 We can also have our Jeepney Food Truck available to cook remotely at events, and celebrations, the Kapre is truly “mobile” and doesn’t mind leaving his tree occasionally.
