Read the Feature: The Best Restaurants in Boracay 2021
Los Indios Bravos is the only restobar in Boracay that serves good food and good craft beer on tap. It’s even better than the gastropubs in Manila. With Chef Martin Jickain and Chef Mike Katindig at the helm, they are surviving the pandemic because of their commitment to quality.
This is the go to place to eat and drink with clean fun and good vibes in the post-pandemic Boracay.
First Things First
What I like about Los Indios Bravos is that it features the signature pub food recipes of Chef Kenneth Cacho and Chef Norbert Gandler of ISCAHM fame while celebrating the best of all-Filipino Craft Beers (on tap), Brown and White Spirits of the Philippines at the same time. Most importantly, it pays tribute to “Los Indios Bravos”—the Brave Natives of the 1800’s, Filipino intellectuals and warrior-poets and the Tirol family of Boracay Island.
Bong Tirol, Martin Jickain and wife Maggie Tirol established the new Los Indios Bravos hidden at the back of White House in the New Boracay.

Los Indios Boracay Experience
This is the only place we trust when it comes to eating fresh Aklan oysters on the island. Oysters are good sources of zinc with a kick of aphrodisiac to get you into a happy mood. Be careful about eating these elsewhere.
Drinking craft beer on tap is the best while you are on the beach. Los Indios is the only place where you can get it on the island, and in a post-pandemic world, you get to appreciate those moments when you get to drink this with your friends.
Get a craft beer flight to start with. My favorite is the double IPA of Crows Brewing – De Puta Madre!
Summer Ale (₱199). Boondocks Brewing, Marikina, 5.2% ABV. Wheat Ale. A perfect balance of citrus aromas, subtle fruity overtones and mild bitterness.
Scotch Ale (₱240). Nipa Brew, Makati City, 9% ABV, Scotch Heavy Ale. This scotch ale really takes you to your leader! Even with its 9% ABV, the sweetness of its malt, caramel and vanilla flavors certainly accentuate the whole beer!
De Puta Madre (₱260). Crows Brewing Co., Muntinlupa City, 8% ABV, Double IPA. The De Puta Madre is extremely hoppified in both taste and aroma. This double IPA is brewed by a hophead for hophead beer drinkers.
We all have to eat our veggies to boost our immune system, and we liked their Caesar salad combination.
These Dino bones are the best ribs on the island. Ang sarap with the craft beer!
The bones easily fell off the meat, and you could taste the hickory bbq sauce all throughout the meat. 🙂
All the sides were done well: the coleslaw was not too sweet with the right creaminess; the mashed potatoes had a nice creamy consistency; the steak fries were crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside; and the buttered corn (without the cob) was my favorite.
This is the best—Banana Bread a la mode, a collaboration between Martinapay and Los Indios Bravos. The banana bread is the best in Boracay because it uses green bananas from local partners.
Congratulations to Head Chef Mike and team for not compromising the quality of the food despite the pandemic realities of difficult logistics and sourcing of quality ingredients on the island.

Disclosure: Thanks to Nikkei Team for the experience. I wrote this article with my biases, opinions, and insights.
Disclosure: We were guests of Martin Jickain when we visited.
P.S. They recently took over the beach front dining outlet of White House resort so now you can enjoy your meal with a view of the beach.
This is the best place to eat al fresco with a mesmerizing view of White Beach. 🙂
Juggies are the latest innovation in tap Sapporo Beer that is still cold with 3 hours – 3 days insulation. It also has the following features: Insulated/Stays Cold Easy Pour Tap, Delivered Cold & Ready to Pour!
You can bring this to the beach, to your private inuman session or to your sunset paraw experience.
I love cocktails with a good combination of ingredients and just enough alcohol kick to keep you beach happy.
A pineapple juice concoction for something citrusy with alcohol kick from Bacardi.
Our favorite because it has gin, ginger ale and ginger lime flavors! Ang sarap nito. 🙂
Sometimes, a proper Gin N Tonic is what you need to get the conversation started for a day of drinking sessions.
They have a good selection of gins you can choose from, and hopefully they carry the local premium gins also.
