Under the Balete is one of those places na once you discover it, you’ll keep coming back, and you’ll definitely tell your family and friends about it! The parking space is wide and convenient, plus it’s pet-friendly. First time ko to dine in at a place where everyone brought their pets sabay-sabay. Ang cute! The food is amazing, especially my favorites: Thai Shrimp, Squash Soup, Tail Gate Ribs, and Bread Pudding. I’m so glad more and more people are discovering this place. Can’t wait to see Under the Balete expand and open more branches nationwide!

Went on a weekday night so we were the only ones there which we liked since it was so quiet. We ordered the chicken parmesan(?) and the ribs, and got surprised with the proportions since each meal looked like it was good for 2pax. Loved everything we ordered except for the dirty matcha, hope they can improve on it. The resto had ample parking space, and fee was waived for the first 3hrs.

Second time coming here and it was still great. Pastas were quite unique and they were innovative. I also like that the staff are very friendly and very attentive. The place is also really nice and its apparent that they put effort into designing it. I like the wall of pet pictures also!

Tried this place out with family. There is ample parking space. We stayed at the 2nd floor area because it has A/C. They do have al fresco at the ground floor and roof deck. Food did not disappoint. Chicken in a basket was delicious. Even the fries were cooked just right. Tail gate ribs was tasty. They also have a wide selection of coctail drinks and liquor. Music is not too loud which is good. Great place for a night out with friends and family. And the place is pet friendly, too! Additional 10 stars for that!
