20 of the Best Boracay Restaurants You Should Visit | Booky
Just keep eating.
Summer never ends in the Philippines which is why our beaches are our prized possessions. And among the many beautiful beaches we have, it’s no secret that both locals and tourists favor Boracay and consider it as one of the best.
With the restrictions easing up a bit, traveling seems to be more viable again. And Boracay is just on top of our list!
Quick tip:
Here are some fun things you can do in Boracay:
- Go cliff diving at Ariel’s point
- Try beach hopping and participating in the volleyball matches, sunbathing, or swimming
- Spend some time appreciating the water and its natural beauty by either parasailing, riding a paraw, holding on to the flying fish, or going scuba diving
- Take the Mainland Adventure Tour if you’re not so much of a beach person
- Riding the zipline
- Partying in several pubs at night
- And of course, the foodie’s favorite, going on a food trip
If your idea of a good time is by food tripping, here’s our updated list of the party island’s most popular restaurants to date, especially if you’ve been planning to stop by this summer.

Once, almost literally, a hole in the wall in Station 2 which opened in 1996, it has now moved to a new and bigger beachfront location in Station 2. Dubbed as ‘home of the Calamansi Muffins‘, it’s the most popular form of pasalubong, sometimes gifted, mostly requested. But while the muffins are good, Real Coffee is not all about just that. Mama Lee’s huge omelets are also crowd favorites. P.S. Order your muffins one day in advance if you plan to take home some.
