Boracay Dining Guide
Where to Eat at D'Mall, Boracay
Despite the name, D'Mall isn't an enclosed shopping mall. It's an open-air, roofed walkway between Station 1 and Station 2 that grew stall by stall into the densest cluster of restaurants on the island. Nothing about the layout was planned, which is why first-timers usually walk past three restaurants before finding the one they were looking for.
Along its roughly 1.2-kilometer stretch you can eat Greek, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, American, and Indian food within a five-minute walk, at prices ranging from a ₱100 crepe to a full sit-down dinner with a wine list. Here's where we'd point a friend, in no particular order.
Aria Cucina Italiana
Wood-fired pizza and pasta on D'Mall's beach-facing row, with a gelato counter attached. One of the more established sit-down options if you want a full Italian dinner rather than a quick bite.
Cyma
Greek taverna on the same beach-facing strip as Aria. Souvlaki, Greek salad, and a flaming saganaki that gets ordered at nearly every table. Good for sharing plates with a group.
Hama
Sushi, sashimi, and ramen tucked into D'Mall's Station 2 stretch. Reviews are mixed on consistency, but it's one of the only proper ramen options on the island.
Jammers
A Boracay institution since 2002, opened by New Yorker Miguel Walsdorf and revived during the pandemic under new ownership. Burgers, chili cheese fries, and steaks in a beach-shack setting, open past midnight most nights.
Lemoni Café & Restaurant
Mediterranean-leaning café on the beach-facing row. Hummus, tzatziki, grilled meats, and a pastry case worth a stop even if you're not staying for a full meal.
Little Taj
That's UsIndian street food and craft cocktails a few doors down, including one of D'Mall's more solid vegetarian and vegan menus alongside chaats, curries, biryani, and tandoori.
Spice Bird
Portuguese-style piri-piri chicken, grilled to order in four spice levels. Moved to its current D'Mall spot a few years back.
Getting Around D'Mall
D'Mall doesn't really have street addresses the way you'd expect. Most places are easier to find by asking than by GPS pin. It sits between Station 1 and Station 2, a short walk from the White Beach path. Worth knowing: some listings lump in D'Talipapa (the wet-market seafood strip) or Station X (a newer retail development) in with D'Mall. They're separate places nearby, not the same strip.
