Rooted in tradition.
Growing something new.
Purple Roots is more than a restaurant — it's the final puzzle piece bringing #FilipinoPride together through food, community and culture.
From scratch, dailyFilipino food, the way it's meant to be shared.
We opened Purple Roots to give Jacksonville a true taste of the Philippines — authentic recipes, made from scratch, served in a space that feels like home.
From rich, peanutty kare-kare and slow-simmered Batangas bulalo to sizzling sisig and Bacolod-style chicken inasal, every plate carries the flavors of family kitchens and the pride of our heritage. We pair those classics with a fresh, modern vision — because tradition and reinvention can share the same table.
Come hungry, leave full, and be treated like family the moment you walk in. Kain na!
The Purple Roots way.
Made from scratch
No shortcuts. We simmer, grill, roll and bake in-house every day so every bite tastes like it should.
Community & culture
A gathering place for the Filipino community and the friends who love it — through food, music and celebration.
Warm hospitality
Guests aren't customers — they're family. Expect to be greeted with a smile and sent off with leftovers.
Eight rays.
Three stars.
Our roots are a promise. The Filipino sun's eight rays mark the dawn of a new era; the three stars — Luzon, the Visayas & Mindanao — stand for one people at one table.
That's the spirit we cook with: heritage on every plate, and a seat saved for everyone. #FilipinoPride, served daily.
Pull up a chair.
Bring the family, bring the barkada. There's always room at the Purple Roots table.
