Food was worthy of a five star establishment. Presentation was amazing and tastes delicious. Setting is rustic at best, no frills but who needs it, if it's great food you're after get up of the beach and visit this restaurant.

If you're sick at the same old food in the beachfront, head at the back of the beach and go here. Although the menu is quite limited, everything they serve is superb. I ordered the pasta with garlic and shrimp which isn't in the menu but was really good. The quantity is also adequate for its price. Atmosphere is nice... More

Blue elephant I can't describe in words how amazing this place is. First off service is excellent - and food is faster than anywhere we've eaten on the beach. Don't even waste ur time with the recycled seafood BBQs on the beach. For the same price here ill get gourmet. Excellent flavour. Im a vegetarian and the vegetarian pasta, sandwich,... More

We tried this tiny restaurant after reading reviews on trip advisor. It is well worth a visit, the food was very good and there was a wide choice on the menu. The prices are fair and the dining experience is very unique. The waiting staff were very good, we were very impressed with how the young waiter provided such a... More

From the outside the restaurant looks very simple, but the quality of the food is excellent. Not to much choice but the food which is served is very good and also cheap!

Beef is never a popular item in The Philippines. But we found great burgers and steaks at L'Elephant Blue. Firstly introduced by a local friend and we found that we needed to visit it a second time by ourselves. Great food, smart waitresses!!

We decided to take a break from the restaurants right on Alona Beach and headed a little inland. I had the chicken cordon bleu one night and it was the best meal I had on Panglao. I decided to go back the next night and had one of the Dory fish dishes and it was just as delicious. And the... More

Went to this restaurant last night based on tripadvisor ratings. Food was good and the owner was really nice - he came and greeted everyone that came in the restaurant as well as dropped by later on to ask us how the food was. :) Service was really good and so was the food! Would definitely eat here again the... More
