When you search online for the best Boracay restaurants, you’ll probably be bombarded by a gazillion lists, each with its own picks and rankings. That’s not surprising given the sheer number of dining establishments in the island. But you’ll also notice that most of these restaurants range from somewhat expensive to, well, undoubtedly expensive.
It’s true. Boracay’s food scene has been dominated by upscale restaurants. But that’s not to say that the island has nothing to offer to budget travelers. Sure, they’re more difficult to find, but they are there — tucked inconspicuously in inner alleys or in between bigger names.
In this article, we’ll share with you some of the food spots in Boracay that would give you a lot of bang for your buck. But first, some disclaimers. First, please manage your expectations. Don’t expect five-star ingredients at these price points. Second, you may find some of these establishments still not cheap enough, but costs in the island are generally higher across the board. What we’ll feature are those relatively affordable, especially compared to the popular restaurants.

Another bestseller is sisig rice (P75), topped with egg and drizzled with mayo, served on a sizzling plate.
Kolai Mangyan has two branches in Boracay. The main store is in Station 2, in front of Henann Park Resort, while the other is in Station 1. We dined at the Station 2 branch. It was a humble eatery,…
