When you check in at Treehouse de Valentine, you’re not just booking a place to sleep – you’re stepping into a full-sensory retreat in the heart of the Balamban highlands. Nestled among towering trees and serenaded by a flowing river, this nature escape is best known for its dreamy treehouse accommodations. But there’s another side to the experience that guests remember just as fondly: the food. With its own exclusive in-resort bistro, Treehouse de Valentine offers something rare – a Cebu mountain dining experience that’s warm, personal, and proudly Filipino. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a special celebration, or a much-needed reset, meals here are part of the story – not just something to check off between adventures.
Set within the same lush surroundings as the resort, the bistro feels like an extension of the forest itself – intimate, calm, and quietly beautiful. It’s open only to in-house guests, which means no crowds, no noise, and no rush. Just good food, fresh air, and the kind of ambiance that makes you want to linger a little longer after every meal. Whether you’re enjoying breakfast with birdsong, a candlelit dinner under the trees, or a quiet afternoon coffee as the fog rolls in, this is a Treehouse dining experience that feels private, thoughtful, and one-of-a-kind. Every detail, from the wood-accented interiors to the attentive, heartwarming service, is designed to make each meal feel special, no matter the occasion.
A Taste of Home, Elevated
At Treehouse de Valentine, dining is more than just a meal – it’s a celebration of Filipino flavors crafted with care and creativity. The bistro’s menu offers a delightful array of Filipino comfort food, perfect for any occasion. From hearty breakfasts to satisfying dinners, guests can indulge in dishes like pork sisig, crispy pork belly, and a variety of vegetarian options. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, ensuring that every bite resonates with the warmth of home-cooked meals. Whether you’re savoring a leisurely breakfast or enjoying a candlelit dinner under the stars, the culinary experience here complements the serene ambiance of the resort, making every meal a memorable part of your stay.
Vegetarian, Vegan, and Non-Vegetarian Breakfasts!
What makes the Treehouse Bistro even more inviting is its thoughtful range of menu choices, catering to every kind of guest – from plant-based eaters to those craving classic Filipino comfort food. For vegetarians, the kitchen serves up flavorful bites like eggplant omelette, crispy spinach, pancakes, and freshly cooked eggs, done fried or scrambled just the way you like. If you’re looking for vegan-friendly options, traditional Filipino favorites like champorado (chocolate rice porridge) and puto-sikwate (steamed rice cakes with hot chocolate) offer hearty, soulful choices without any compromise on flavor. And for guests who prefer non-vegetarian fare, the menu doesn’t disappoint – with Filipino breakfast staples like longganisa, tocino, bacon, corned beef, chorizo, danggit, and the beloved silog-style meals that bring a savory start to the day. It’s comfort food done right, with a touch of home in every dish.
Main Dishes That Feel Like Home
When it comes to main dishes, the bistro serves up hearty plates that feel both familiar and indulgent – perfect after a day of mountain exploring or riverside lounging. You’ll find crowd-pleasers like grilled chicken served with just the right amount of char, flavorful spicy chicken with a kick, and comforting buttered chicken that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. For something rich and truly Filipino, the pork humba – a sweet and savory braised dish – is a must-try, slow-cooked to perfection and served with warm rice. And that’s just the start. With rotating specials and generous portions, every meal feels like a lovingly prepared feast – made even better by the quiet hum of the forest just outside your table.

Whether it’s an anniversary, birthday, honeymoon, or a spontaneous celebration “just because”, Treehouse Bistro adds a personal touch to every special moment. The quiet mountain setting, the cozy treehouse ambiance, and the heartfelt service come together to create an experience that feels intimate and memorable. Guests often find themselves enjoying a private dinner under the trees, candles flickering, warm food on the table, and nature providing the background music.
