Boracay may be world-famous for its white sand beaches, but their food deserves just as much attention. Lucky for us, Discovery Shores Boracay houses three different restaurants that serve some of the island’s most delectable dishes: Indigo Restaurant, Sands Restaurant, and Forno Osteria.
Indigo Restaurant is best known for serving up creative coastal dishes you won’t find anywhere else on the island. Their menu is highly seasonal, promising that their offerings are prepared with only the finest and freshest ingredients. To complete your dining experience, make sure to pair your meal with a glass of wine — Indigo offers the island’s finest selection of labels from both old and new world wineries.
Just steps from the beach, the appropriately named Sands Restaurant is the place for a hearty meal — whether you’re there for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or anything in between. If you’re looking for a recommendation, their mouth-watering Filipino dishes make for the perfect island welcome, especially when you pair them with Sands’ refreshing dalandan shakes! Another thing you can’t miss at Sands? The Shores Boodle Fight! We promise there isn’t anything like it.
