We had so much fun in Monkey Bar. We went here in the evening to grab some drinks. They have lots of choices from alcoholic drinks (wine, spirits, ale, beer and cocktails), juice and food choices. If you don’t feel like drinking alcohol you can request their cocktail drink to be free from alcohol. Staff was amazing and attentive. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Best Cocktail Presentation on Earth 👌🏼 and very delicous food in a fancy location with great service❤️ This Restaurant is a must 😍 If you don’t want to spend too much money, at least don‘t miss their artistically decorated cocktail served in the Monkeytail glass! (The Tail can even be used as a drinking straw, so crazy 🤩) We especially asked for Pinacolada served in this glass, so if you want the very same: ask for Pina colada in the monkey tail glass, same as the crazy couple from germany. We ordered the Asian Pasta and the Seafood Pasta 😋😍, both were absolutely tasty. I personally fell in love with the seafood pasta, which was an exploration of a new taste for me. The shellfish and the shrimps were kind of grilled with some garlic and herbs and the pasta came in a sweet lime (?) sauce. Never ate anything similar in taste before. I even think about going there again just to eat this pasta with the monkeytail cocktail 😂😍😍😍 Cherry on the cake: the staff was very friendly and kind, we had a great feeling and good vibes with the people working at the bar. Price per person ₱800–1,000 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Outstanding! Food was SO delicious. Got a quick 4 min taxi from Alona beach through the front gate of ‘BE Grand’, where we went to reception, we were then taken on a golf buggy through a scenic garden to the restaurant. The kitchen is open for viewing and unique in the way they cook with charcoal and timber. Staff were very welcoming! Also the view across the water was superb. Will definitely be back! Thank you Janzel and Wang! Price per person ₱800–1,000 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We had a fantastic experience at Monkey Bar Garden in Panglao. The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. Regie and his colleagues were friendly and engaging, making the evening even more enjoyable. The ambiance and surroundings added to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend it! Price per person ₱600–800
My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of dining at various upscale restaurants in Panglao, and it's with certainty that we rank this one at the top for its exceptional food, impeccable service, and inviting ambiance. The chef's expertise and refined technique shine through in every dish, setting a high culinary standard. Nestled within a stunning resort, the restaurant offers a warm and cozy atmosphere complemented by the kind of attentive service you'd expect from a 5-star hotel. It's a standout experience that genuinely elevates dining in Panglao. Price per person ₱400–600 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Excellent and interesting local food with great vibe and cool design. The one big problem that prevented us from returning there was it took FOREVER to get our food. Easily over an hour. So while it was tasty and we wanted to eat there again, we didn't eventually go back.

The Monkey Bar is located in the premise of Be GrandResort. Prices are not bad. Service is great and excellent FOOD. Restaurant accepts card and cash.
Chef Jenz and his team made our anniversary one to remember! I requested if they could provide a romantic dinner for my wife and I and they went above and beyond to make it happen. They set up a private table by the water with candles, music, and flowers. I spoke with Chef Jenz personally and picked out the perfect menu for our special night. The service and food were out of this world. J highly recommend The Monkey Bar for any and all occasions! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Lowkey want to gatekeep this place because I had such a wonderful time! If you’re looking for unique dishes, privacy, great vibes, and hospitality amid manicured gardens by the beach, this is the spot for you. Definitely a hidden gem in Alona area 😊 Their tuna tataki is a must-try!

Really enjoyed the beautiful setting. Food was excellent. We ordered the smoked brisket, ribs, pork belly, and fried chicken. Asked for second servings of the palapa: a delicious spicy condiment unique to the Maranaos. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, as was the chef.
