As much as we love taking photos at famous landmarks and trying new activities, experiencing a new destination through your stomach completes the travel experience. Who even counts calories when on vacation?

Come Grab Dine Out, which recently launched in Boracay, makes experiencing the world-class travel destination more affordable. It’s one dining hack that will allow you to indulge in culinary delights, discover new spots, and support local businesses. We recently traveled to the island to try the latest app feature, and here’s what went down:

Meals made better with discounts

Being in a tropical paradise like Boracay is like hitting the jackpot. You get to walk on powdery white sand, have crystal clear blue waters within reach, and have access to an array of food establishments for every type of craving. However, treating yourself does add up; it can get pricey. But what if we told you you can save when you pay through the Grab app?

Grab Dine Out is a tech-driven dining experience that lets travelers explore Boracay’s culinary gems while scoring up to 20% off their bill.

Accessible directly through the Grab app, Dine Out is now live across select dining establishments in Boracay. Whether it’s fresh-caught seafood, island-style comfort food, or globally inspired fare, users can now dine their way through the island with curated savings in just a few taps.

Discover new dining spots on the island

If Boracay is your family’s or barkada’s go-to spot for beach vacays, you might already have a list of go-to places for the best brunch spots, Filipino meals, or even bars. For your next holiday, why not try something new? Grab Dine Out encourages you to go out of your comfort zone and discover lesser-known spots; who knows, you might find your next favorite through the app!

Just like Cathy’s Bistro, located in the laid-back Bulabog Beach area, where we kicked off our food adventure on the island. Our choice of an early morning meal: fresh mango juice and a choco banana smoothie bowl with peanut butter. It’s the perfect meal for a much-needed energy boost, especially if you want to try your hand at kite surfing, which Bulabog Beach is known for.

A way to help partner merchants

It’s not just users who benefit from Grab Dine Out. Partner merchants are given the well-deserved visibility, especially with the number of new spots opening on the island.

“We are providing Boracay’s restaurants and food businesses with the tools they need to scale. We’re giving them access to a digital platform that allows them to reach more customers, attract foot traffic, and grow their business sustainably,” shared Grab Philippines Vice President for Cities CJ Lacsican.

“With co-funded deals and limited-time offers, we’re giving these businesses the ability to run smart, targeted promotions that deliver real results. More tables filled. More revenue generated. More jobs supported.”

So the next time you try out a restaurant listed under Grab Dine Out, remember that you’re giving opportunities to their partner merchants. The list will continue to grow as new featured restaurants are added each week. The next time you’re on the island, there will be more spots to try!

How does it work?

The best thing about Grab Dine Out is that you don’t have to pay extra to use the app feature. To enjoy the 20% off discount when you have a bill of P1,000 or more, open the Grab app, tap the Dine Out tab, select the venue, and enter your bill amount. Voila, you’ll get your discount instantly!

If you’re the type of traveler who plans ahead, you can also buy a discounted voucher before your meal, which you can redeem seamlessly when you dine in.

Grab Dine Out transforms the traveler experience

Picture this: you’ve found a low-key beachfront spot that’s perfect for beach bumming, all thanks to browsing Boracay spots listed under Grab Dine Out. Through the app feature, travelers are treated to curated and trusted recommendations, making their travels more memorable. “Grab Dine Out changes the way people explore Boracay,” said CJ Lacsican.
