Most Popular restaurant in Boracay Island

Red Pirates - When you want bread - you go to a baker, when you want flowers - you go to a florist ... and when you want to enjoy some sailing, you go to the Red Pirates. Located near the southern end of Boracay's Beach walk, you find the Red Pirate bar open from early morning till way past midnight for a drink at low prices. The interesting setup reminds you that you are a guest of Pirates ... except that these pirates usually smile more than average smiling Philippinos!

Joey is the Red Pirates Captain - enjoy Joey's Boracay sailing experience since 1988.

A sailing trip with the Red Pirates sailboat always is a worthy adventure. Sun set sailing, sailing around Boracay island or a sail tour with barbecue on a beach ... the surprise is the excellent food of the Red Pirates offered during BBQ sail excursions. A few days ago I had a cappuccino and cake at Cafe del Sol ... just out of curiosity I asked a tourist on next table: "What is your preferred food place in Boracay" to my surprise he replied "the Red Pirates" he went twice on a sail excursion with BBQ and both times found this to be Boracay's best food. Hence you may as well give it a try and combine a sail trip around the island with a BBQ on a remote beach with the Red Pirates special Pirate menu ...

Restaurant Mango Ray

International gourmet food and Swiss specialties

Location:
A few hundred meters south of D'Mall

Mango Ray - Best overall gourmet food for international cuisine

Dining under palms on the beach - or indoor in the glass roof covered garden - all amidst natural environment.

Restaurant Mango Ray is since years my preferred restaurant to eat out for any kind of international or European gourmet food such as Swiss Rösti, Raclette, Fondue, Mexican Taco and many other delicious dishes. During winter-season - Mango Ray has the best fresh strawberry shake in the Philippines with fresh strawberries from Baguio City - how delicious is the strawberry shake ? The second time I ordered 3 strawberry shakes just for my. Large ones !!

Tip:
Try the daily specials - usually a fine composed setting of starter, main course and desert.

Best Italian food on Boracay island

There are 2 outstanding Italian restaurants of equal excellence - both a little different and both unique and delicious. Hence Both are best of Boracay's Italian restaurants.

Restaurant Aria Best Italian food Restaurant Aria in D'Mall next to Cafe del Sol

Restaurant Da Mario = Now called "Treehouse" Best Italian food on the island Restaurant Da Mario - "Little corner of Italy" - at the very southern end of the beach walk - south of Red Pirates Restaurant Da Mario - Hotel and Restaurant still under same owner, but new corporation is now called Treehouse - all else still the same!

There are minor differences between Aria and Da Mario - for example:

• Da Mario has rich toppings on his Pizza
• Aria has thin Pizza with thin layer of toppings

Many prefer thin crispy Pizza - others like myself prefer a richer topping layer. Da Mario definitely has one of the top location for a cozy dinner with friends or a dinner for two.

Da Mario has more spicy food if you wish so and order "arrabiata" - spicy.

Cafe del Sol
best cakes and tarts

Location:
Right in the heart of D'Mall next to beach walk and opposite from Italian Restaurant Aria - Aria and Cafe del Sol belong together.

Cafe del Sol has always changing house made fresh cakes and tarts depending on season. Many delicious fruit cakes or fruit tarts such as the above shown strawberry cheese cake. A cup of good coffee or cappuccino. An ideal place after dinner or just for a little gourmet pleasure in-between meals.
