Island Chicken Inasal - The best grilled chicken in the whole island of the Philippines! You should try their Kinilaw na Tangigue and to die for KANSI. It is located at dMall dBOracay!
Island Chicken Inasal - The chicken abrbecue I ate was a little undercooked. Also, it had a lot of burnt parts which is cancerous. Boracay is ok but this restaurant has more flies in it than people.
Island Chicken Inasal - I just came back from a week long in Boracay, and I cant help but gush about the place... Its absolutely heaven. I took long walks and swam and ate...my favorite place is Island Chicken Inasal located at DMALL...I was just passing by when I saw the warm colors of the place...I tried the Paa with extra garlic rice (no more diet!)And it was just perfect with a bottle of San Miguel Lite. Can you believe I ate there every day? If only I can bring back some for my friends... are they open for franchise? 2 thumbs up for Island Chicken Inasal! Can't wait to go back!
Island Chicken Inasal - I'm surprised to see so many glowing reviews about this place. We tried it and were not at all impressed. The decor was nice but the chicken was raw in the middle and burned on the outside. If thats how they eat authentic chicken in Bacolod they must all have strong stomachs!
Lemon Cafe - We absolutely loved the sandwiches, salads, cakes etc. It's not the cheapest restaurant but it was worth every peso. Great service too. This cafe is in the mall.
Boracay Butterfly Garden - This is a good attraction for all the family. The butterfly garden is located on Bulabog beach on the eastern side of the island.
Paraw Sailing - Don't leave Boracay without doing this! It's absolutely the best way to get about and discover the island's scenery and beaches. Paraws are native sailing boats made from wood and bamboo and can only be found in this region of the country.
Baling Hai Beach - This tiny secluded beach is located on the eastern side of the island, north of Diniwid Beach. There's an OK snorkeling site there, a good restaurant and some amazing views from the clifftop. If you can't manage the steps your food and drink will be lowered down to the beach in a basket! You can reach this beach by the road but it's more fun to get there by sailing boat.
Jammers - This is a 24 hour fast food & burger joint at the front of the mall. We were unimpressed with the service and food and wouldn't really recommend it.
Island Chicken Inasal - This place is over rated. Nothing great with the chicken, raw on the inside burnt on the outside. Nothing great with this place.
Island Chicken Inasal - Had such high hopes for this place. First time I ate there, they ran out of chicken. Didn't make sense! They're called Island Chicken Inasal after all, hello! So settled for some liempo but took forever to get my order. They even forgot some other items my friends and I ordered. Went back again and they finally got everything right. Food was good, service ok, then again, only 3 tables occupied. And then, went back and brought some friends over, and what do you know? I was once again disappointed. No more fish and no pork barbecue. We were on an island, surrounded by water and they ran out of fish. A bit ironic, don't you think? Not to mention really terrible, slow service. Suffice it to say, I am NEVER going back there again.
Real Coffee - The best breakfast all day place! Mouth watering omelets, perfect with a cup of coffee and buttered toast!
Puka Beach Forever - The place is so heaven, pretty far from the crowd. One can really relax and enjoy the pristine water and powdery sand. A small nipa hut restaurant called " Shoreline Grill" is great, the staff and owner are attentive and friendly. Would love to come back again here and will do.
Jonahs....the REAL and BEST shake on the Island! - This is very true, we were in Boracay from May 22 to June 02 and tried almost all the cafe's restaurants and bars and Jonah;s when it comes to "shakes" stands out the very best. do try it and you will for sure will not regret. Service is excellent, staff are nice and warm.
Mang Inasal - The best chicken inasal in Boracay!
Cafe Del Mar Boracay - An Honest Review - Café Del Mar The Worst Experience We spent our worst New Year's Eve at Cafe del Mar in Boracay! The service was horrible. The food was disgusting. The whole experience is one for the horror books. My partner and I booked a New Year's Eve dinner at this place. From our experience in previous years, we thought everything would be as nice as it used to be. However, everything turned out to be a nightmare. A few nights before the New Year, we went to Cafe del Mar and had our usual favorites, the cheese sticks and the Calamares (squid rings). We had it there before and we clearly remembered how good it was. But this time around, we noticed that the food was different. The cheese sticks were soggy and the calamares was stale and tasted like it had been cooked with used cooking oil. So, we talked to the waitress and she confirmed that the chef who used to cook doesnt cook anymore. It was his assistant who cooked the food. Nonetheless, we let it pass and still booked our table for New Year's Eve. We paid P3000 for the meal plus drinks (around $100). Our reservation was for 9:30 pm dinner. We arrived at the place at 9 pm. As soon as we arrived, we told the waitress that we were going to have drinks first (additional revenue for them) and we wanted our food served later when we were ready. She agreed, but insisted that we choose our main course from the menu so that the chef can reserve the food for us. A few minutes later, she came back with our drinks and the appetizer. We told her again that we did not want to eat now and we just wanted to get settled and have some drinks. She insisted that we had to eat right away because the chef said so. What??? Shes telling this to us after I deliberately told her in Tagalog (in case she does not understand English) that we wanted to relax and have some drinks and let her know when we are ready to eat. After much frustration, we asked for the manager. The manager, who looked like a social-climbing matron in her 70s, was sitting in the table beside ours. I think her name is Cory. She was busy having fun and dinner with her guests in another table. We explained the situation to her. She talked to the waitress and then told us that I was lying. She said that the waitress told her that I wanted the food served right away. This was just too much. With our disgust and frustration over the situation, my partner told the manager that this is the last time we were dining at their place. The manager replied back, Its your choice. Obviously, this manager does not know what customer service means and did not care as long as she was getting our money. They dont really care at all because they can fool as many tourists as they want. Now its our choice to let this be known to other people. Its our choice not to come back to that restaurant ever again. As we left the restaurant, I saw the waitresses pointing at us and giggling in a corner. I dont know what they were laughing about. I dont know what they placed in our plates (which we did not finish). But whatever it is, I dont want to know. We spent another month and a half with our friends in Boracay but never came back to that restaurant.
Boracay Islands Shopping
Boracay Islands are well-known for its, now rare, gleaming white puka shells which are said to be the best in the world.
For years, these shells have been dug up, especially near the beach at Yapak and sold.
Other important shopping items are beach-related things, but the open-air markets sell not only a variety of beachwear, but also antique furniture, lamps and native woodcarvings.
Boracay Islands Beaches
Near Balabag - A beautiful beach on the west coast with fine, white sand. The water is shallow, so its great for those that cannot swim and also makes a great suntanning beach.
Diniwild Beach - A relaxed, easy-going atmosphere, situated on the north of the island, a typical paradise beach and great for swimming, diving and snorkelling, although you need to beware of the currents.
