Where do you get an affordable and decent meal in Boracay amidst the COVID-19 pandemic? Unfortunately, many restaurants have remained closed. No fret! A few have remained open to serve. Enjoy Boracay. No need to shell out more money. Below are my top three choices of food establishments where you can get a budget meal for as low as 100 pesos per head.
All three restaurants are located in the center of Boracay. Check the map below.
They all follow the safety and health protocols. No mask, no entry. At the entrance, a dedicated staff checks your body temperature. There is a hand washing area (with soap and water) or a non contact hand sanitizer dispenser near the doors.

They have a number of branches spread across Boracay.
Although, I am not sure if all branches reopened. I got to visit only two branches in Station 2: the one inside D’Mall and the one near Laketown.
The Laketown Branch is conveniently located near a water station and the laundromat.
