Paradiso Grill – Boracay

by Posted on

Paradiso Grill Boracay - Mango Juice

Walking in the scorching sun, half-baked and overwhelmed by the clear waters and the white-sand beaches of Boracay Island. Thirsty and meandering through a long street of what seemed like a never ending strip of bars and restaurants and undecided which one is the best, Paradiso Grill is the right place. It has the best Fresh Mango Juice in the entire island. The spicy crab made my day and I was drooling when I saw it served hot in front of me. And don’t forget to surfeit yourself in the magic of Banana Split for dessert.
