In Garrucha, right on the water’s edge, is a delicious and truly idyllic dinning spot, where the fish is as fresh as you’d expect for a restaurant a stone’s throw from the ocean.

An impressive sea view

Boracay Beach will blow you away before you even take a look at the menu. Its beautiful outdoor terrace offers stunning sea views. Mere meters from the beach, you can sit back and watch as the wave’s role onto the sand and boats sail past. Sitting there, you’ll feel like you’re on holiday, even if you’ve been living on the coast for years.

This is by no means a hidden gem. Hordes of people stop by for breakfast, lunch and dinner meaning the restaurant is nearly always full. Sometimes this does translate to longer wait times but the picturesque view more than makes up for it. Sit back, relax and lose yourself in the ambience.

For the full experience, aim for a sunset reservation. As you relax with a glass of wine or take the first bite of your meal, watch as the sun dips below the horizon.

A tapas menu worth talking about

While their entire menu is impressive, their tapas menu is especially worth raving about. It doesn’t do anything special, but it does do everything right. Classic dishes made from quality produce, expertly cooked and beautifully presented.

For such high-quality food served against such a beautiful backdrop, the prices are incredibly reasonable. Traditional tapas like Abondigas or Patas Bravas are available for €1.80, while more luxurious dishes like Ratatouille, Red Tuna or Pork Tenderloin Skewers range from €2 to €3.80.

A popular place for paella

Boracay beach is also a popular spot for paella. Choose between the mixed or the seafood paella and wait as patiently as you can until it is served to you in a giant flat pan. In addition to paella, the menu boasts an abundance of delicious rice dishes.

This is an ideal dish for sharing, especially considering it’s served to a minimum of two people. Like with every Boracay dish, the portion sizes are generous so there will be plenty to go around.

There’s also plenty of option for picky eaters – Chicken and Chips, Croquettes, Sirloin Steak – so don’t feel like you have to leave them at home.

Where to find Boracay Beach

Boracay Beach can be found at Paseo del Malecon, 19 in Garrucha. Reserve a table in advance by calling 950 460 647 or visiting their website boracaygarrucha.com.

Sweet treats and tasty delights

No food festival is complete without dessert, and Albox Burger Fest delivers on that front as well. La Gio Cheesecakes will be in attendance at the festival with a tempting selection of three different cheesecake flavours. These indulgent treats provide the perfect sweet ending after sampling the festival’s savoury offerings.

Live music and family-friendly entertainment
