Let’s be honest: as much as Boracay is about the powdery white sand and stunning sunsets, a huge part of the vacation is the food. During our recent 4-day family staycation, we embarked on a mini culinary tour around the island. From classic comfort food to beachfront dining and cozy romantic cafes, we tried a bit of everything.

If you’re planning a trip and wondering where to eat near Station 2 and beyond, here is our day-by-day Boracay food diary!



Our Daily Anchor: Breakfast Buffet at Tangerine Restaurant

Before diving into our daily eats, I have to give a shoutout to our morning fuel station. Since we stayed at Altabriza Resort, our package included a free daily breakfast buffet at Tangerine Restaurant on the 2nd floor.


It was the perfect, hassle-free way to start our mornings. They served a rotating selection of classic Filipino breakfast staples (think savory meats and garlic rice), an egg station, fresh fruits, and pastries. We actually ended our entire vacation here on Day 4, filling up one last time before heading home.



Day 1: Comfort Food and Budget-Friendly Local Eats


Lunch: Jollibee (Convenience is King)

After traveling to the island, we wanted something quick, familiar, and satisfying. Luckily, there is a Jollibee located right in front of Altabriza Resort along the Main Road. You can never go wrong with Chickenjoy and Jolly Spaghetti to officially kick off an island vacation!

Dinner: Jasper's Tapsilog and Restaurant

For dinner, we wanted to keep it casual and budget-friendly, so we headed to Jasper’s Tapsilog. It’s a well-known local spot on the island for affordable, delicious Filipino comfort food. If you are looking to escape beachfront prices for a night, their silog meals and local dishes are a must-try.

Midnight Snacks: Quick Grocery Run

Since we are night owls, we grabbed some midnight snacks from the groceries nearby. There is also a Watsons right next to Altabriza, which was super convenient for grabbing drinks, chips, and extra toiletries.



Day 2: Highway Fast Food to a Mexican Fiesta at D'Mall


Late Lunch: McDonald's

We spent our second morning swimming, so by lunchtime, we needed something fast. We stopped by the McDonald's located along the highway for a quick burger and fries fix before heading out to explore.

Afternoon: Snacks at D'Mall

We spent the afternoon walking around D’Mall, the central hub of Station 2. The area is packed with little food stalls, so we spent a couple of hours just grazing on random snacks—from refreshing coolers to quick bites—while window shopping.


Dinner: Ole Boracay

For dinner, we stumbled upon Ole Boracay inside D'Mall. They specialize in Spanish and Mexican cuisine. We wanted a big, hearty meal, so we ordered a mix of everything: a juicy beef steak, pizza, and a classic Spanish paella. The portions were generous, and it was a great, vibrant spot for a family dinner.



Day 3: Cafes, Sunsets, and Our Absolute Favorite Meal


Morning: Fresh Juice & Starbucks Beachfront

On our third day, we took a long, scenic walk toward the premium shores of Station 1. Along the way, we beat the heat by grabbing fresh fruit juice from a local beach stall. We eventually made our way back to the Starbucks beachfront at Station 2 to grab some iced coffee and enjoy the view from their second floor.

Sunset: The Sunny Side Cafe

You can't visit Boracay without properly watching the sunset. We secured a spot near Station 1 and ordered some snacks and drinks from The Sunny Side Cafe. Watching the sky turn vibrant shades of orange and purple with a cold drink in hand was pure bliss.

Dinner: Smooth Cafe Boracay (The Highlight of Our Trip!)

For our final dinner, we discovered a cozy beachfront spot called Smooth Cafe Boracay, and it easily became our favorite experience of the entire vacation.

We ordered plates of comforting pasta and paired them with refreshing Margarita drinks. But what truly made the night unforgettable was the ambiance—they had a live violinist performing right there on the beach.


It was incredibly romantic, soulful, and the perfect way to wrap up our last night on the island.

Final Thoughts on Boracay Dining

What I love about eating in Boracay is the sheer variety. In just four days, we balanced affordable local carinderia-style food and fast-food convenience with upscale beachfront dining.

If you only have time for one special dinner on your next trip, do yourself a favor and look for Smooth Cafe Boracay—the music, the food, and the beach breeze are worth every single peso.
