It took us more than 20 minutes to get our food and it was really really hot inside the restaurant. Not ideal for a quick to-go meal but it was quite yummy. They had fans throughout the restaurant to try and cool things down but no AC unfortunately. Ambiance was divey just like a beach hut. All and all it was a solid 4/5.

The chicken is smoky, juicy, perfectly charred, and drenched in that tangy, garlicky, slightly sweet basting. Every bite hits, especially with garlic rice.

Found this place walking along the strip at White Beach Station 2 and was impressed with the…read morevariety on the menu - particularly that it didn't have the same traditional menu items as most of the other restaurants. We ordered the nachos and have to say the presentation was impressive. Haven Bistro definitely took some pride in the food prep. And of course being in the Philippines, the nachos had diced mango. :) The calamari was pretty good and while Kare Kare is not my particular favorite, again, they out did themselves on the presentation. I ordered the shrimp ceviche and again ...gotta love the Filipino twist with diced mango. The portions were bigger than expected so pleasantly surprised. What I also really liked was the drink options. Most places have the traditional banana, pineapple, mango or coconut flavored shakes but Haven Bistro adds a twist with either cilantro, mint or basil. The pineapple basil shake and mango cilantro shake were pretty good. Of course they were fresh with real ingredients. The service was very good. Our order took a little time but no worries when you know it's being freshly made and being in the cool restaurant was a nice break from the heat and humidity outside. A noticeable difference was when they served us water, it actually had ice - a significant difference from just about anywhere else. The service was very polite & courteous - but have to say that is the normal in the Philippines. Also, the restaurant was exceptionally clean...sometimes hard to maintain with the sand from the beach.

When we first arrived on the island, Haven Bistro was the first place we ate it. The food and…read moreprices were so great that instead of trying somewhere new before we left the island, we decided to come back on last time. The food was just fantastic. The tacos were to die for. The location was perfect, only because my room was right above the restaurant. You get alot for what you pay for. Since my room was upstairs and the restaurant was part of the Club Haven (Boracay Haven Resort/Suits), I got free breakfast delivered every morning. I ordered a cheese french toast one morning and it was, again, to die for. Their pancakes were delicious too. The employees were great. Very helpful and always with a smile. At night, the place turns into a buffet. Never got to try it, but the food they were cooking looked equally delicious. The private beachfront right in front of the store is cleared and chairs and tables are set up. Live music is playing and they also provide hookah.

Their champorado (ube or chocolate, always different) and their arroz caldo or korean porridge they had was SOOOO good. This is the only reason why I'm giving the food 5 stars. We went to their lunch buffet one day right as they opened and there were flies everywhere, it was hot (they later closed the doors) and the food was cold already, but they had lechon which was okay, just a bit bland. Halo halo bar was a cool idea, but they didn't even have any beans T_T Definitely go for BREAKFAST!!! The servers and helpers have wonderful customer service as well.

They do have fans that blast so there is some coolness on a hot day. I was thinking of the Piri Piri sauce from back home tangy and spicy but it was neither but still good sauce taste. As for the food we got, it was ok. My hubs and his bro had the combo. The pork belly was a little in the dry side. The grilled Chicken was pretty good. Seasoned rice with good. I also tried their Sisig appetizer as a meal but it was a little too oily but good flavors. It was a little on the salty side or that might be their food in the Philippines. We also tried their fried Piri Piri chicken wings. It was all soggy breading than chicken. There was barely any chicken or it was just a small chicken wings with barely any meat. I think the sauce is the only thing I liked. We had their shakes. The mango shake was a good size and taste but the lychee coconut was more lychee flavor than coconut shake. They use the syrup of the lychee cans. That was disappointing. Service was good. Place is clean. Average flavors though so not sure I would come back. [24R,2025]

The service was good which was quite a difference from most if not all of the other places we ate. They actually came and checked on us several time, brought more sauce, filled waters, checked for more drinks and that everything was good etc. Definitely a stop above other places. They also provided plenty of napkins. The price is a bit higher than other places, but still not bad at all if you are coming from the US. Definitely worth a try if you are not looking for a super cheap meal. Downsides, the beer was warm, not just not cold, but actually warm as in warmer than room temp! There was a bit of a wait to be seated, but that was b/c the place is popular and there is limited seating. It was worth it though.

Sababi Paluto is another iconic food stop when in Boracay. Don't expect to order food here as they…read moredon't sell any. You need to buy the raw ingredients from the nearby market place and then bring it to them for cooking. They can cook almost everything but mostly it's either steamed, fried, and baked. You can also request that they turn meat, fish, scallops, oysters, veggies and so much more into popular Filipino dishes such as Sinigang, Tinola, Torta and etc. I rated Sababi 4 because it's not the cleanest place to eat. You're technically beside the wet market so the stench could be overwhelming. We had baked oysters, buttered shrimps, grilled pork, sweet and sour Lapu-Lapu and tortang talong and they all tasted amazing! Unfortunately, two of my friends ended up with diarhea and that was a bummer. We're giving them a benefit of a doubt because we did order sandwiches from Subway so many that was what caused the diarhea. Would I recommend it? Yes, but only if you're not picky about where you eat. It's not for everyone so if you're up for exotic food prepared the Filipino way, then dig in.

Quite a lot of choices - we ordered garlic Parmesan wings, classic carbonara, black noodle luging and sizzling pork siding.

Sadly the noodles were still hard and the sisig NOT SIZZLING!!! Mediocre at best!

We enjoyed it so much, we actually had dinner there twice. The food was the best that we had on Boracay. Over the two meals we had there we ate: chicken adobo, Tortang Talong, mung beans & roast pork, fried chicken, & pancit bihon. All were very good, but the fried chicken was a bit salty. Portions were nice, not huge - - but we still had enough leftovers to wrap up and give to some of the locals who hadn't eaten dinner both times. Enjoy.

You enter from the ground level, but most of the seating will be in the larger dining area upstairs. Lots of different seafood and other offerings to satisfy your cravings! GRILLED PULPO: Pretty decent serving size, although this came out towards the end and we were getting pretty full. I wish the octopus pieces were larger but not a huge deal. SCALLOPS: The perfect little bite-sized flavor bombs. Comes with 12 scallops so great for sharing! SHRIMP BISQUE SINIGANG: Rich and tasty without being overly sour! Large serving size. AKLAN ADOBO WINGS: I was really craving fried wings and was hoping that's what these would be, but I guess it makes sense that they weren't since adobo isn't usually deep fried. The sauce was tasty, but for some pieces the meat was a bit dry. GARLIC RICE: Simple but delicious and really helped round out the meal. Serving size is also pretty big - definitely don't order one per person. I think one order is good to share between 2 or even 3 people if you don't want a lot of rice. Service was top-notch! Our waitress was extremely attentive and friendly. The oysters usually come with 4 per order, but they gave us an extra one for each order because they saw we were a group of 5...so generous! The restaurant was spacious with plenty of fans blowing to keep us cool. Overall, a great option if you're craving some seafood. Serving sizes are on the larger side so you'd probably have the best experience coming with a group of 4 or more so you can try more dishes.

Finally found it on a tourist map and it is in D'Talipapa plaza; around the corner of my hotel. I went during peak hours and it wasn't busy at all. No sides are included with the seafood prices, not even rice. So expect to spend here. Better to dine with a squad instead of solo - so you can enjoy a broader selection of seafood & sides and split the hefty bill. A live one pound warm water lobster set me back $34 USD! I can get one pound cold water Maine lobsters at 99 Ranch for $8-10 lb. Had I known I could have gotten live Russian king crab in Seoul, I would have skipped the lobster here for this price. According to Joey's review, you can bring your seafood from the wet market outside and have them cook it. This might be a cheaper alternative than buying from them directly. I opted for garlic butter but it tasted a bit odd - like soy sauce was used. So just go with butter. It was cooked properly - not over or under. Service was brisk and they spoke good enough English.
