Kainan sa Balsa

It’s my first time to dine in a floating cottage and I love the ambiance. The food is delectable and affordable. Thanks to my beautiful cousin who invited us here before my flight going abroad. Thanks to the generous staff, I will come again soon here ❤

We've gone to this place on weekday, The food is good sisig is superb . atmospere is nice service was great
overall satisfied .

We enjoyed eating here this Black Saturday. The surrounding was really quiet and gave you a feel of nature. Our food order arrived fast and the vegetable serving was generous. There were only fans but it was cool inside the bamboo hut. For two people, you can satisfy your tummy here for 500 pesos. I recommend!

Seafood is great but on the salty side in my opinion.

Place is okay for me. It's worth a try at least once.

I'm not sure if it's only on our visit but food is served cold 😕

Been a long time since I last dined here. And I brought the family for them to give it a try.
The ensaladang mangga and talong is so
Goood! Tuna panga is fresh and good coupled with the sauces .. the bagnet is crispy and the sinigang sa ulo ng salmon is a bit too salty for my taste. Too bad that there’s no more pusit as it was already almost 8 pm when we arrived.

The food here is affordable and delicious compared to other alfresco restaurants. We went there in the evening so I only saw black water in the Balsa. Their balsa is sturdy and secured. Been passing through this place during lunch time and their parking lot is always full. It is a sign the people loved to eat here.

It is literally mean "Eatery at the Raft", a group table meal standing in the shaky bamboo raft above the artificial lake.

There are around 22 cottages standing above the bamboo raft, consisting of large cottage that can accommodate 16 persons, and a small cottage of 4 persons.

The area is wide. However, minors should be accompanied under adult supervision since there is a risk a falling and drowning in the lake.

The table is on first-come first choice basis.
Only the ceiling fan that can ventilate the customer, even the eating area is an open area.

Suitable for lunch stopover meal, group or solo.

Literally a dining experience in a stable raft.
Exclusive Filipino food variations at affordable prices.

Location:
Along the road, can be spotted easily, with wide parking lot.
It's a floating raft enclosed by bamboo bridges, with areas for fishing ( extra fee).
I noticed some mosquitoes in the vicinity.

Food:
*We always order ensladang mangga. (7/10) the mangoes are crunchy, can be shared by 2-3 persons.
*Inihaw na panga ng tuna-( 8/10)sizes may vary, the personnel will inquire for pax. It's tasty, sarap simutin.
*Bulalo -( 7/10)a bowl can be shared by 3 pax
*Chicken kebab (8/10)
*Pork barbecue (9/10)
*Lechon kawali (8/10)
*Crispy PATA (10/10) 🤩

We frequent this place but the above mentioned are our constant favorites.

Perfect place for dine outs. Atmosphere is lovely as you eat deliciously cooked Filipino meals with loved ones in the balsa. Servers are very welcoming. Value for money. Highly recommended!

Location- Kainan sa Balsa is located in Brgy. Banalo, Bacoor, Cavite Philippines. It is very near to Manila. You can enter the expressway in coastal or via las pinas if you came from extreme south. It is easy to find and has ample parking spaces.

Food- There are lot of choices. During this time of pandemic you need to fill up the health declaration form and have your temperature checked, after that you can finally order. Pay as you order. Foods are Philippine cuisine mostly but they also have ice creams and other desserts.

Price-The price is pretty good. Affordable foods. The price is cheaper compared to the restaurants. That is what we called sulit!

Dining- Eating afloat a river is such an awesome experience. There are no mosquitoes and the place is well maintained. It is relaxing and you can feel the province life partly. You can dine in with friends, family or love ones. Night date in this place is superb. Candle light dinner perhaps?

Anyways, if you want to visit it, there is no reservation needed. You can just go, dine and enjoy! Have a nice day!

Traveling from Hawaii and missing authentic Filipino dishes I went to kainan sa balsa as a recommendation. And this place did not disappoint. Eating here gave me a taste of my childhood and even better. The prices are very reasonable.The staff was very friendly and accommodating. There are a lot of food choices to choose from. You could even fish while you eat at the balsa rafts and you can have them grill it for you for a menial fee.The shakes remind me of Thailand because they use fresh fruits and not from concentrated juices which are a better and healthier alternative. over all if I’m in the Philippines again I’ll definitely stop by here.

This typical turo turo restaurant in Barangay Banalo in Bacoor has that flair. Delicious and affordable meals that attracts travelers passing by in the area. It has an ambiance of eating out in the floating nipa hut tables. Ample parking space with a guard assisting customers to get out of the area and control the traffic on the road.

Well recommended, service staff did their effort to provide our request of Halo Halo even no available lecheflan
It is a plus

Bulalo is a winner, super.
The service is fast and I had no complain with the area. 🙂

We dine here while under Pandemic Protocol. The crew and management are awesome. The premises are clean. They always disinfect. They even have a sprinkler on the poles spreading disinfectants on the air, don't worry it's away from the dining tables.

It's al fresco dining?! Always have been. :D

Ratings:

Location: Great, Romantic even.

Food was really delicious and served hot. If I could say anything bad, it would have to be that no one came back to our table to see if we were happy Our food order arrived fast and the vegetable serving was generous. There were only fans but it was cool inside the bamboo hut. For two people, you can satisfy your tummy here for 500 pesos The area is wide. However, minors should be accompanied under adult supervision since there is a risk a falling and drowning in the lake.

Our family enjoyed the ambiance and the food. Yung isdang binalot sa dahon ng saging was really good. I forgot what its called.

The place is really serene and the foods are delicious. Hindi di expensive ang mga menus nila. Right on budget.

Relaxing place, food are superb and lovely staff.
