Lemon Cafe and Restaurant

Lemon café serves an eclectic menu of gourmet comfort food with a healthy twist. Our on site bakery produces scrumptious cakes and pastries that are famous on Boracay as are our wedding cakes and custom cakes for any special occasion. We are open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

We tried this resto as it seems to serve something light and healthy. Their juices and fruit shakes are okay. I got the risotto with chicken and tomatoes. It was good and my partner got their homemade burger. He also wanted to try dessert. I had lemon merengue pie which I found too sour and he had salted caramel cake. Overall I'd say, it's nice to try something new from time to time.

Dos Mestizos

Reviewed By Jessica L

Had the Owner / Chef provide a full menu recommendation for our group of friends. Super awesome guy and beautiful restaurant.
1 vegan. 1 no beef. 2 regular carnivores.
The menu is extremely accommodating for all dietary restrictions....and great shareable plates for a group of 2-4.
I didn’t take any photos because I was so consumed by the food however the MUST TRYS - the (Seafood) Paella
- Sangria
Definitely one of the best restaurants for a delicious dinner in Boracay.

Ariel's House

Reviewed By ukrania - Boston, Massachusetts

at station 1, food is average and not the reason to come here, we had some not great tuna here, happy hour is a good deal and a nice place to watch the sunset, Gretchel is awesome and one of our favorite waitresses on the island. Price is average to high certainly could do better in terms of lunch diner elsewhere

Paupatri Restaurant

Reviewed By HoonyK - Seoul, South Korea

This review may not be accurate because my knowledge/experience towards Philippino food is not sufficient.
So this is how I felt.
We ordered Ginataang Gulay, beef tenderloin in soya sauce, sinigang fish and 2 garlic rice. The portion was more than enough for 2 people.
They tasted great, though some food felt a bit salty for me.
The servers were friendly and took a real good care of us.
The whole atmosphere was very exotic, felt like a king in a south east country.
If you wanna try something local and want to spend some bucks into a find dinning, Paupatri is a must go place.
Fyi, it is a little hard to find because our tricycle driver didnt know where it is.
Its right next to Boracay Summer Palace and a hospital.

Los Indios Bravos Boracay

In the late 1800's Filipino intellectuals and warrior-poets started using the word "Indio" (a derogatory term to refer to the Islands' natives) as a badge of honor and a source of pride. They eventually formed a society that fought for reforms and more rights for their countrymen and called themselves "Los Indios Bravos" --- The Brave Natives. This gastropub is a tribute to all those pioneering men for we too are breaking new ground in Boracay as we are the first to showcase all-Filipino handcrafted beers on tap paired with classic pub food from all over the world.

Reviewed By Ali R

Four of us came here for a late lunch. The food was good but nothing really to rave about. We had chicken tikka with pita, nachos, mac and cheese, pata, and a couple other things. There were out of several dishes we asked for, which isn’t a big deal but we felt like it left us with very few choices. Everything we ate was just “meh,” okay I guess but I probably wouldn’t return unless maybe for just drinks with friends. The staff was nice though, friendly and helpful with the menu.

SpiceBird

Reviewed By Aveeno1991 - Manila, Philippines

What sets SpiceBird apart from other chicken joints in Boracay is the manner they spice and grill the chicken and the variety of sauces you have at your disposal. We were lucky to catch a table for our party before the crowd rushed in. We ordered their chicken boards - quarters and halves depending on our appetites plus chicken skin for the ones whose arteries are still young. On your big board, you get rice, sweet potato chips and salsa. On your table you have 4 different sauces ranging from their signature piri-piri to curry to spicy. Mix your combination and you get a winning recipe for your chicken.
Service is very friendly and efficient and the price a little above median.

The Ruf Resto Bar

The Ruf Restobar, located just a few minutes walk from the back and front beach at the rooftop of Ferra Hotel Boracay, is a getaway from the noisy and busy atmosphere of the main road and beach front. It's chill, relaxing yet classy ambiance provides a cozy dinner venue not only for couples but also for family and friends who want to have a wonderful dinner out. Our wide variety of Asian fusion choices and extensive drinks offering will surely provide a satisfying and gastronomic escape. A n amazing view of the sunset and the stars is also visible right at the rooftop restobar providing a visible and colorful view of the horizons-definitely a must-try in Boracay.

I'd definitely recommend this resto - very reasonable prices, good service, the food was great (I had the calamari) and drinks good too. We had our one year old with us, they got her a chair and were really good with her.
