Traveling all the way to the island of Boracay to just dine in a toilet may not be the most attractive option out there, but take our word for it when we say that there is more than what meets the eye with Boracay Toilet Restaurant.
Situated along the main road of Station 1 just beside Cocomangas, Boracay Toilet screams out its presence through a ginormous toilet bowl. Once you see it, there’s no denying that you’ve found the restaurant.
These vandalised walls-very much similar to public bathrooms greet first time customers on their way up the restaurant. The writings on these walls were actually from customers who visited the place.
A giant toilet bowl and a humongous urinal are the restaurant’s main attraction, in which guests can freely snap unlimited photos.
True to its theme, the entire place is filled with comfort room-related objects such as toilet bowl seats, sink and bathtub tables, soap dish food trays, urinal glasses, and bathroom signs pasted all over the walls.
With the restaurant’s consistency with their theme, chances are you’d end up getting confused locating where the real cubicles and sinks are.
It’s really adorable how the owners really went out of their way to keep the theme of the restaurant consistent. Boracay Toilet however boasts more than these instagram worthy photo ops. Their menu, which consists mainly of Fillipino food, turned into really witty bathroom puns, is something that attracts foodies from all over the globe as well.

Overall, the food tasted like your typical home-cooked food placed served at a really quirky place. We have nothing bad against home-cooked food but it could have been more exciting to have a fresh new taste of Boracay’s finest ingredients and local delicacies fused into the very interesting toilet concept of a restaurant.
However, putting the food aside, we actually enjoyed the entire toilet experience. You better include this restaurant to your next Boracay EATinerary.
Kudos to the creative team of Boracay Toilet Restaurant!
Overall, we’d give this restaurant a rating of B.
so the next time you visit Boracay in the province of Aklan,
