This restaurant serves excellent Filipino food, either on a deck on the bank of the river, or during a 1-hour cruise up and down the river on a large roofed raft pulled by an outrigger canoe. Make sure you arrive before sunset.

We ordered after lunch so we were able to get a river cruise without lining up. Food tastes really good and the ambience is very relaxing. Overall, it was a superb experience.

My parents and I enjoyed our lunch experience so much we went twice during our week in Bolinao! Important to arrive early (we were there at 10AM) to beat the lunch crowd (this place is popular) and avoid waiting. We did the river cruise additional...charge during our 2nd visit- it was so busy during the first visit we plus got the platter. Note that the charge for river cruise is the same for up to 10 people so it comes out cheaper (bigger group vs smaller group unless you share the floating hut with another group. Not sure if thats allowed during covid distancing). We got the platter/ bilao for 3 people which had the special grilled sungayan. The food in the platter was delicious qnd fresh tasting. Everything is prepared fresh when ordered -- expect to wait for over 40 mins. The seafood quality and taste is good. However, it depends on local availability so sometimes so choices in the platter isn't available (they offer substitutes) Servers are pleasant but remember this isn't fast food restaurant style to you have to prepare to be patient, wait -- just enjoy the view (or do some shopping of local treats and souvenirs/ decors in the waiting area). Don't arrive hungry and expect to be seated / served quickly during peak meal hours.More

My grand daughter plans to go back for the Sungayan fish. It was great! Need to get in early before the 11:00 am flock of visiting crowds to be able to have "balsa" for the tour.

Dati nagpunta na ako dito at super naimpress ako sa food at sa service ng staff. so ayun nga dahil natuwa ako bumalik ako with a different set of friends. Pinagmalaki ko pa na ang sarap ng food doon. Ayun nga, this time nagimprove yung...place, seems lumaki siya pero parang ang dumi. Panghi ng cr putik putik pa. Yung food masarap pa din naman pero YUNG LANGAW ANG DAMI NAKAKADIRI NA.

This is better than Loboc river cruise in Bohol because not so touristy and the river is called Baligasay or something to that effect is the cleanest in Luzon according to the locals. It certainly looked clean and uninhabited which made eating that much more...enjoyable.More

Went there to arrange my sister's 60th birthday but when we I arrived surroundings really dirty, the river that surrounds it is brown and loads of rubbish. Location not advisable, you go into a a narrow road not cemented can be very muddy when it...rains and it's not safe to park your car as there are so many children on the surrounding area playing, running round hiding behind the car.More

My family ate here on our vacation and we all enjoyed the food, service and boat ride. You get a floating house boat and then you order your food. After you are served they tow you up the beautiful waterway and back for about an...hour long trip. Lots of fun, quiet and good food. We had a little truoble getting a trike back to the hotel so I recommend arranging a ride home.More

We asked for their best-seller and since we are only couple, we were offered Bilao 1 which us good for 2-3 pax. When the foods were served, gosh, it can serve a minimum of four! This is the first time that we ate horn fish...and was not disappointed, plus the eggplant! And the halo-halo! Their staff are very nice, too. :) Cheers!More
