  • Kasbar Boracay: A Flavorful Moroccan Escape by the Beach
  • Moroccan food is a rare find in the Philippines, and even more so on the island of Boracay. Amidst the rows of beachside cafés, seafood grills, and island bars, there is one vibrant spot that offers something truly different: Kasbar Boracay, formerly known as Kasbah.

    Located along Station 1, this beachfront restaurant brings the colors, spices, and soulful flavors of Morocco straight to Boracay’s shores.

    Dining at Kasbar is a feast for both the palate and the senses. Its al fresco setting gives guests a clear view of Boracay’s iconic white sands and crystal-blue waters, creating an atmosphere that’s both laid-back and transportive.

    Thoughtfully placed shades allow guests to enjoy the outdoors without the harsh tropical sun, while cabanas adorned with Moroccan-inspired patterns offer intimate spaces for groups who want a more private experience by the beach.

    Kasbar invites diners to embark on a culinary journey to Morocco without leaving the island. The restaurant specializes in authentic Moroccan dishes infused with vibrant spices, aromatic herbs, and cooking traditions that have been passed down for generations.

    Among its must-try specialties are the Beef Kebab and the Lamb Tagine, two dishes that beautifully capture the essence of Moroccan cooking.

    The Beef Kebab is grilled to perfection, offering tender, juicy chunks of beef infused with a smoky aroma and layers of spice. Each bite is robust and flavorful, a testament to the careful marination and charcoal grilling that give Moroccan kebabs their signature taste.

    Equally remarkable is the Lamb Tagine, a traditional Moroccan dish known for its slow-cooked tenderness and complex flavors. The lamb is simmered with a medley of spices and herbs, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully into a rich, aromatic sauce. The dish is not only halal but also deeply comforting—perfect for those looking to experience the warm, spiced soul of Moroccan cuisine.

    Kasbar’s servings are designed for sharing, with portions ideal for two to three people. This communal style of dining mirrors Morocco’s culinary culture, where food is enjoyed together and flavors are meant to be savored slowly.

    A Night of Culinary Artistry

    Kasbar Boracay isn’t just about everyday dining—it’s also a hub for creative culinary events. After the overwhelming success of their last supper club, Kasbar invites diners to another extraordinary night of gastronomic exploration.

    On October 4, 2025 (Saturday) at 6:00 p.m., Kasbar Boracay will host “The Art of Tasting”, a Supper Club–inspired 7-course degustation available at Php2,500++ per person, designed to celebrate Boracay’s vibrant flavors.

    This exclusive menu is curated by Chef Richard Gallego, a celebrated Golden Chef Awardee, Demo Chef, and Outstanding Professional Chef of the Year.

    Each course is thoughtfully inspired by Boracay’s iconic places, presented through the lens of Moroccan and contemporary culinary techniques. With communal seating, guests can look forward to not just exceptional food, but also lively conversations and shared experiences that make the night unforgettable.

    This event promises a one-of-a-kind island evening where flavors, stories, and people come together at the table.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
