Something familiar is coming to the table. Just a little more us. 🤎

• Kare-Kare •
Slow-braised beef, tender vegetables, and a rich, velvety peanut sauce, served with bagoong on the side.

No need to reinvent a Filipino classic.
Sometimes, it’s about taking our time, cooking it well, and serving it the way we’d want to share it at home.

A little glimpse of what’s coming to our new menu. 👀

PUGON x BESAGA
Rooted & Inspired.

Coming soon. 🤎

Today in the test kitchen… 👩🏻‍🍳🔥

Testing, tasting, adjusting…and sometimes starting all over again. 😅

We’re working on dishes that feel familiar, but with a little Pugon x Besaga touch. Filipino flavors, Palawan ingredients, and food that still feels like home. 🇵🇭🌴

Something new is cooking. 👀

Some things are worth preserving. 🌿

As we refresh our homey cottages at Besaga, we’re keeping our traditional nipa roofs. Carefully woven, thoughtfully laid, and part of the Filipino charm we love.

Metal roofing would cost us less and be easier to install, but we continue to choose nipa for its natural beauty and the comfort it brings, helping shelter our cottages from the intense island heat.

It takes more care and investment, but keeping that familiar feeling of a Filipino home is worth it to us. 🤎

Come home to Port Barton. Come home to Besaga.

A little pause to make coming home even sweeter. 🤎🌴

Besaga Café & Restaurant and Besaga Bed & Breakfast will be temporarily closed from September 16 to October 7, 2026, as we give our island home some extra love.

We’ll welcome you back on October 8, 2026, with refreshed, homey cottages and a new menu by Chef Cy, inspired by the comforting flavors of a Filipino home. Think familiar dishes, generous stories around the table, and that warm feeling of being told, “Kain na!”

Thank you for making Besaga part of your travels, meals, and memories. We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you.

Come home to Port Barton. Come home to Besaga. 🏡

Some mornings don’t need much. Just a hearty plate of our house made Beef Tapa, a gentle sea breeze, and this view. 🌿🌊

Come hungry, take your time, and enjoy breakfast by the beach at Besaga.

A taste of home by the sea. 🤎

We’re happy to introduce Kinilaw Beach x Besaga! ✨

Bringing Kinilaw Canteen’s fresh ceviche, tacos and island favorites together with our little home by the sea. 🐟🌮🍹

For the rest of the low season, you’ll find Kinilaw with Besaga, right here on our beachfront. Fresh catch, good food, cold drinks, sandy feet and that Port Barton sea breeze we never get tired of. ☀️

A little collaboration, a little something new, but still very much part of the Besaga experience. 🤎

Come hungry. Stay for the sunset.

KINILAW BEACH x BESAGA 🌴🌊
Come home to Port Barton. Come home to Besaga.

🌴 Kinilaw Beach x Besaga 🌊

We’ve found ourselves a happy little corner on the beach! ☀️

We’re super excited to team up with Besaga Bed & Breakfast and bring your Kinilaw favourites right to their beachfront spot.

For the rest of the low season, we’ll be serving up our best sellers — fresh, simple and perfect with sandy feet and a sea breeze. And when the new season rolls in… expect a fresh new menu too. 🌮🐟🍹

Pop by, grab a bite, chill out and find us at our new happy corner on the beach. 💛

Somewhere along the way, we realized it was time to come home. 🤎

Besaga has watched Port Barton grow and change through the years—and we've grown with it.

In our early days, Besaga wasn't simply a place to sleep and eat. We shared our everyday life with our guests. We sat around the table, shared stories, cooked together, and some may even remember grating fresh coconuts and squeezing the gata by hand before enjoying the food we prepared.
They didn't just experience Besaga. For a little while, they became part of our home.

Then life changed.
COVID came. Typhoon Odette came. Tourism changed. Like everyone else, we adapted. We adjusted our menu and served the pizzas, pastas, burgers and café favorites many of you have come to love—and we're forever grateful for your support.

But somewhere along the way, we asked ourselves:
What do we want Besaga's table to say about us?

Perhaps the answer was here all along.
Our family. Our memories. Our island. And the food that has been part of all of it.

So we're returning to our roots, but we're not going backwards.

Family recipes will share the table with Chef Cy's own creations. Filipino comfort food will sit alongside flavors inspired by different chapters of her culinary journey.
Familiar, but with room to explore.

This chapter also brings us closer to an advocacy we've long wanted to pursue: supporting local farmers, fishermen and producers whenever possible.

It hasn't been easy. Middlemen, seasonality, availability, logistics and pricing remain real challenges. We can't promise everything will be locally sourced, but we can begin.
One ingredient. One farmer. One fisherman. One relationship at a time.

Rooted in family, Port Barton, and the memories that shaped us. Inspired by our island, our community, Chef Cy's culinary journey, and everything we've learned along the way.

This isn't about becoming a different Besaga.
It's about remembering what made Besaga, Besaga.

Good food. A welcoming table. Shared stories. And a place that feels a little like home, even when you're far from yours.

A new menu. A renewed purpose. Another chapter.🤎

Come home to Port Barton. Come home to Besaga.

Every season brings its own challenges, and this off-season has certainly tested us. But if there's one thing we're proud of, it's that we've faced it, and still facing it together.

Our recent BCM Team Building wasn't just a day off. It was a chance to pause, reconnect, celebrate the people who make everything possible, and remind ourselves why we do what we do.

From preparing meals and baking breads, to welcoming guests, cleaning rooms, making coffee, serving comfort food, guiding underwater adventures, and wearing many hats in betwee, every role matters. Every person matters.

To our entire BCM family, thank you for your dedication, resilience, and the heart you bring every single day. The friendships we've built and the memories we've shared are what make us stronger, not only as a team but as a family.

Here's to growing together, supporting one another, and continuing to create experiences worth remembering.

Behind every great experience is an even greater team. 🤍

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Another sunset, another beautiful memory made at Besaga. 🌅

Nothing makes us happier than knowing our little beachfront corner became part of someone’s special celebration. Thank you, Ms. Karen, for choosing Besaga for your anniversary dinner and for sharing your wonderful experience with us.

From sunset views and laid-back beach vibes to good food, cold drinks, and unforgettable moments, we're grateful to be part of your Port Barton story.

We look forward to welcoming you back for more sunsets, more celebrations, and more memories by the sea. 🤎
