For Filipinos, going to Boracay doesn't only mean basking in the warm sun and swimming in clear blue water. We go to Boracay not only armed with our newest swimwear and sunnies, we also go to Boracay with a list of restaurants to visit.
My friends and I would even go as far as visiting a different restaurant per meal. We schedule it beforehand too! Yes. People go on a diet before a Boracay trip not just because they want to look cute in their bikinis but also because they need a lot of space in your tummy for all the great food you can eat.
I've listed down 4 restaurants/food stalls in Boracay that you just CANNOT miss!
1. Jonah's Fruit Shake and Snack Bar
You can't go to Boracay without visiting Jonah's. I think this is most Filipinos' first stop whenever they go to Boracay. They are best know for their Milk and Fruit Shakes, my favorite being the Choco Peanut Milk Shake. It's deadly (in a good way) and packed with calories, but so, SO worth it.
2. Real Coffee
Real Coffee is best known for their Calamansi Muffin and breakfast food. I have many friends who would bring home boxes of the Calamansi Muffin to share with their family. I don't like Calamansi though, so I don't order this often. But I love their omelettes!!! Servings are huge too!
True that! |
You can find this in stalls scattered all over the island. Chori burger or Chorizo Burger is my FAVORITE! I ate this twice a day, everyday on our last Boracay trip. Haha! It's a little spicy which is absolutely perfect for me! Isaw is actually barbecued pig or chicken intestines! We do eat everything here in the Philippines!
If your stomach is sensitive, I wouldn't recommend these two. But if not, THIS IS A MUST TRY. Be careful though, you wouldn't want to ruin your trip in this beautiful island with a stomach flu. :)
5. Mañana
And lastly, Mañana. It's my favorite restaurant in Boracay! We saved the best for last and ate here on our last day. They serve really good Mexican food! I always order the Chimichanga. They also have the most refreshing Iced Tea shake here. You have to order that too!
