Perched high above El Nido’s breathtaking landscape, Henri's is a remarkable steakhouse that offers not only expertly crafted dishes but also what many consider the very best sunset view in the region. Nestled within the scenic locale of 5CV2+56, El Nido, Palawan, this culinary gem invites you to indulge in a dining experience where sights and flavors harmoniously unite.
While Henri’s is renowned for its steakhouse offerings, guests consistently rave about the vibrant and imaginative menu—such as the irresistible bruschetta sampler that perfectly balances fresh, zesty toppings on crispy bread, and the surf and turf selections that demonstrate a masterful blend of rich, savory flavors and succulent textures. The seafood dishes, including a refreshingly tangy Salmon Ceviche enriched with capers and a hint of heat from Bird’s Eye chili, showcase the kitchen's dedication to bold yet balanced tastes.
Dining at Henri’s transcends mere eating; it is an immersive sensory journey. Imagine savoring each bite of perfectly cooked filet or expertly paired appetizers while the golden sun slowly dips behind the islands, painting the sky in hues of amber and rose — a moment masterfully captured from the restaurant’s rooftop.

We stayed at the resort for 3 nights and was recommended Henri’s for the best sunset view in El Nido. we were picked up by a 4x4 car from our villa and were sat down around 5:45 for the start of the sunset. There were so many cocktails to choose from with some local twists/ingredients that we loved! The view and cocktails did not disappoint! We only got to enjoy a beautiful sunset on our last night as it was quite cloudy the other days but it was a perfect way to end our Honeymoon! The reputation for the best sunset in el Nido definitely held up! Staff were so nice, there was live music during one evening and was the perfect relaxing ambience. We also had dinner downstairs in the indoor restaurant. The steak was really good!! tip: must reserve a spot for sunset!

Unbelievable view spot in el nido, arguably the best. You get a 360 view of the island and the beach. We went for sunset and it was incredible. Drinks and food were both on point. Would say make sure you call and make a reservation as we didn’t and you aren’t allowed into the resort unless you have one. The security were lovely and called the restaurant to see if there was space but could have been avoided easily.

Henri’s at Lihim Resort is worth the ride up for the fantastic view of El Nido. From the gate at the entrance of Lihim, they’ll call in a vehicle to bring you up to the restaurant. Be sure to have made reservations. We started with the Salmon Ceviche which had capers, capsicum, and Bird’s Eye chili. The salmon was chunkier than expected but the flavors were vibrant and refreshing. The Japanese Scallops served with basil, risotto, and caviar were a highlight, each bite tasting rich and decadent. We also enjoyed the Quattro Formaggi pizza with mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, and gorgonzola, a delicious mix of cheeses that balanced beautifully. With attentive service and an incredible setting, Henri’s delivers both in food and experience.

We had a beautiful dining experience here. Oliver was our server and he treated us with the utmost care, along with the other staff. We came during the off season, so we were lucky enough to experience Henri’s all to ourselves. The food was absolutely incredible. We had the bruschetta sampler, and the surf and turf. My husband isn’t privy to sorbet, but the salted caramel cashew was super great. All in all, it was beautiful experience here. We highly recommend this place

Did not disappoint. The view. Amazing. Ordered apps, salad, and filet. All prepared perfectly. Matched with sparkling, white, and bottle of red. The road is a little bumpy and hard to find but so worth it when you get here. If you're in El Nido and want an amazing view, food and drinks. This is the place Btw, I recommend calling the resort and arranging a car. Not tuk tuk ride.
