A Foodie’s Guide To The New Boracay
If the beaches in Boracay aren’t enough to pull you to its shores, the food options just might! The 6-month rehabilitation of the famous white-sand island birthed new food adventures for tourists and we’ve pulled together a list of old and new food stalls and restaurants you absolutely cannot miss on your trip! From the fan-favorite Four Cheese Pizza at Two Seasons all the way to Sunny Side Cafe’s unique take on the classic Boracay Chori Burger, here are 20 of Boracay’s best food stops!
Streetmarket at Station X, Hue Hotels and Resort
1. Fat Rice
Let your taste buds do the talking! Fat Rice offers mouthwatering Asian food, like Beef Rendang and Cha Ca La Vong, that’s sure to transport you to Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and beyond!
2. Poketo
The poke wave has made its way to Boracay, and we can confirm it’s worth the hype! Poketo (meaning pocket or tiny) offers the most delectable options for Yakitori sticks and Poke bowls in the island and it conveniently fits our poketo budget!
