With its pristine waters, fine white sand, and breathtaking sunset, it is no wonder that Boracay has been chosen as one of the world's most beautiful islands multiple times. But aside from its obvious beauty, the island paradise is also home to sumptuous food and still a somewhat vibrant nightlife even after its six-month rehabilitation.

Ice Seguerra praises clean-up effort in Boracay: "Malinis na"

If you're traveling to Boracay soon and can't seem to figure out where to eat from breakfast to dinner, here are some suggestions that might help you decide:

Breakfast at The Sunny Side Cafe

Most hotels offer complimentary breakfast, but if your accommodation doesn't offer any or you just prefer to eat somewhere else, then head to The Sunny Side Cafe in Station 3. Enjoy a wide array of contemporary all-day breakfast meals, including their famous Bacon & Mango Grilled Cheese Sandwich, The Sunny Side Cafe Choriburger, Espresso-Caramel Pancakes, and Avocado-Bacon Smash. These are best paired with the restaurant's specialty coffee that is not served anywhere else in Boracay.

Drinks at Jonah's Fruit Shake

When it comes to thirst quenchers on the island, Jonah's Fruit Shake is probably the crowd favorite. If you're having a hard time choosing from their more than 40 flavors, go for one of their bestsellers, the Banana Choco Peanut. The shakes are priced from PhP140 to PhP175, so you can always come back for more.

Lunch at Mama's Fish House

Take the off-beaten path for lunch by making your way to Mama's Fish House in Diniwid Beach. The drive from White Beach will be all worth it once you take a bite from the restaurant's seafood specialties, such as the Lemon Pepper Mahi Mahi (pictured above). Plus points for the huge servings that you can share with friends and family!

Snacks at Nonie's

After an afternoon swim or souvenir shopping, make your way to Nonie's at the newly opened Station X for some light snacks. Located on the ground floor of Sands Hotel, Nonie's offers healthy Filipino dishes with ingredients sourced from local farmers and suppliers. Give their smoothie bowls and cold-pressed juices a try, as well as their rolls, salads, and desserts.

Dinner at Mayas

The family-owned Mayas Filipino & Mexican Cuisine along Station 1 is a prime location for catching Boracay's famous sunset, so might as well stay there until dinnertime. Must-tries in Chef Jun Salme's menu include Chicken Inasal, Lechon Kawali, Prawns in Coconut Milk, Tacos Al Pastor, and Carnitas Burrito, which all go well with their fresh fruit juices and shakes.

Nightcap at Los Indios Bravos

End your day with a mug or two of craft beer in Station 1's Los Indios Bravos. Now owned by model-turned-chef Martin Jickain and his partners, the pub moved from Bulabog Beach to the ground floor of White House Beach Resort. Despite the relocation, Los Indios Bravos still serves the same delicious food and drinks that loyal customers have learned to love. It also features a nine-tap wall of well-selected local handcrafted beers that gives you a taste of beer flavors all over the Philippines.
