If you ask locals and travelers alike, your trip to Puerto Princesa isn’t complete without dining at KaLui Restaurant. Trust me, it’s that good! As soon as your plane touches down, turn on your Wi-Fi and make a reservation here. While walk-ins are accepted, reservations are highly recommended because this spot is packed—even with locals.
🏡 First Impressions & Ambiance ✨
From the outside, KaLui looks like a simple native restaurant, but step inside and you’ll be greeted by a warm, nostalgic, and very homey atmosphere. It’s surprisingly quiet despite its popularity, making it a perfect place to unwind, relax, or even sneak in some creative yoga if you want!
Note: Slippers or shoes are not allowed inside—everyone goes barefoot. Don’t worry, the floors are spotless and well-polished. They provide lockers and native baskets for your shoes and slippers near the entrance, so your feet stay comfortable and clean.
🍣 Unique Dining Experience 🥢
You can choose between sitting at regular tables and chairs or the Japanese-style floor seating. We chose the Japanese style — it felt more cozy and unique!
While waiting for your meal, take a stroll through KaLui’s art gallery adjacent to the dining area, or browse their souvenir shop for authentic Palawan keepsakes.

KaLui’s menu changes daily based on the freshest catch, but here are some highlights you absolutely must try:

- Kilawin — Filipino-style ceviche, fresh and zesty
- Shrimp in Garlic Butter — a simple yet irresistible seafood treat
