Spicebird Piri-Piri Grill first opened in January 2015, born from the idea of serving grilled food that went beyond the ordinary. While Boracay is filled with restaurants offering grilled dishes, Spicebird chose to stand out with its own spiced-up take on piri-piri (meaning “pepper-pepper” in English).
Inspired by the popularity of piri-piri in countries like the UK, Australia, and Singapore, the founders crafted their own version that goes beyond chicken.
Fast forward to today, Spicebird has spread its wings once more—reopening at a bigger and better location in D’Mall, Boracay, just steps away from the beach. Spicebird is proudly part of The Sunny Side Group, the team behind some of Boracay’s well-loved dining spots.
Among their must-try dishes is their Spicebird Chili Crab a fresh, meaty crab drenched in their bold and spicy chili sauce, bursting with flavor and Fresh Aklan Oysters perfect for seafood enthusiasts.

Their Piri-Piri Chicken is grilled chicken marinated in signature piri-piri spices, paired with yellow rice, grilled corn, and fluffy bread for a hearty island feast.

Part of the magic lies in their four signature sauces, each perfectly paired with pork, chicken, and seafood. Guests can choose from the rustic Salsa Verde, the zesty Garlic & Lime, the fiery Hotbird, and their original Piri-Piri Sauce.
While their bestselling piri-piri boards remain the star of the show, guests shouldn’t miss ending their meal with Black Sesame Banana Cream Pie—a creamy classic with a nutty twist that has quickly become a fan favorite.
