Beach Banquet Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in El Nido

Going Out with a Bheng!

If you’re in Nacpan Beach and looking for an unforgettable experience, make your last night count with a visit to Bheng’s family-run restaurant. The vibe is immaculate, the food is divine, and the fiery matriarch herself is an absolute joy to be around.

I had the pleasure of spending my final evening in Nacpan here, and it was hands down the best meal I had in the entire El Nido area. The pumpkin curry is a must-try—creamy, flavorful, and, dare I say, the best I’ve had in the Philippines. After dinner, Bheng joined us for a drink, sharing stories and laughter that made the night even more special. Her warmth and vibrant personality are as unforgettable as her cooking.

If you’re staying in Nacpan, skip the foreign-run resorts and restaurants. Treat yourself to authentic Filipino food made with heart and heritage by a family that truly cares. Bheng’s place offers more than a meal—it’s a slice of genuine Philippine hospitality wrapped in contagious laughter and...

It was like I made family away from home :-) BengH and her family will always be in my heart! The breakfasts were Amazing as well as the calamari and BengHs brother Ray took my mother and I on one of the most AmAzing In-Land tours! We were meant to come back at 4pm but we had such fun we only came back at 7pm! It was like it was exciting for him too! Was so great to have him as a guide to the waterfalls ... we encountered 3 snakes on our way which thanks to him for spotting he willingly protected my mom and I! He took us to a secret beach which was the longest and hardest hikes for my mom (being 62) but he made it comfortable for us with all the patience and guidance in the world! He took us to Duli Beach (which most tricycles don’t even want to go that far with their tricycles to begin with) nothing stopped him pleasing us! This spot is a must when you go to Nacpan Beach or Calitang Beach! And you should try this In-Land Tour!...

I read a review that classed the Pinacoladas here as the best in the Philippines, a very bold claim, especially as it's my go to cocktail when on holiday in far flung destinations 😉 After travelling from Bangkok 🇹🇭 through Cambodia 🇰🇭, Vietnam 🇻🇳 & now a few days in the Philippines 🇵🇭, I would say the best Pinacolada I've had in South East Asia 🎉 The food is also incredibly good 👍🏻 I had the squid 🐙 in coconut 🥥, a first for me as I haven't seen it before 🤷🏻‍♂️, absolutely delightful 😋 This is a really chilled beach bar with great food, drinks & owners 😍 Definitely a must do for the sunset & calmness after...
