Epic Boracay: Serving World-Class Beach Cuisine and Longest Happy Hour on the Island
When Boracay reopened after the rehabilitation, rules and restrictions were set, including banning of activities by the beach. This means no more humongous sandcastles, no more dinners on the sand, and definitely no more LaBoracay by the beach.
But despite the stricter rules, the trademark Boracay nightlife did not dampen and if you need any indication, let the lively Epic crowd show you.
Strategically located near the shopping hub of D’Mall in Station 2, Epic remains to be one of the go-to bar and restaurant of both locals and tourists on the island.

Epic was first brought to the shores of Boracay by the creators of Metro Manila’s hottest clubs, Embassy, Republiq, Valkyrie, Xylo, Revel, and The Island in 2010.

It used to feature a modern minimalist exterior, but it has recently renovated and now resembles a beach house exterior with darker wood colors, a true fit for its location by the white sand beach.

Seafood should always be a part of anyone’s meal when dining on an island so do try Epic’s Seafood Marinara (Php 640). The pasta is a true offering from the sea as it combines fresh shrimps, squids, mussels, and clams in light tomato sauce.

Epic also serves burgers and sandwiches with The Epic Burger (Php 630) on the forefront of the menu. The bestselling burger is made with US Angus beef patty, bacon, cheddar, and a fried egg topped with lettuce, pickles, and caramelized and fried onions.

The slow-roasted beef in their Roast Beef Sandwich (Php 630) is truly worth mentioning. Made with tender slow-roasted beef, mozzarella, spinach, and ciabatta bread, served with a side of rich beef jus for dipping, this hearty sandwich is filling enough to fuel a full day of adventure on the island.
