A good way to save money when it comes to dining in Boracay is to take a cue from the locals. You can still have a satisfying gastronomic experience by trying the famous eateries favored by the locals.
Most of these food joints are just along the major streets in the island. For less than PhP100, you can already enjoy a good meal at
Jasper’s Tapsilog and Resto, located along the main road in Station 2, beside Crafts Deli. The restaurant offers “Tapsi” meals and Pinoy dishes for at least PhP40 per order. They are also famous for their
Pansit Bilao for large groups. A small
bilao or rice winnower is worth Php400 which is good for 5 to 6 people, while a larger bilao is PhP800. The restaurant is open from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Another restaurant frequented by locals and tourists is
