Food lovers and travellers with a taste for adventure now have something new to look forward to
Gyukatsu Motomura, the Japanese restaurant sensation known for its signature deep-fried beef cutlets, is preparing to open its first branch in Boracay this November.
This unique eatery promises not only a taste of Japan’s culinary artistry but also an experience that blends the authentic flavors of Tokyo with Boracay’s signature tropical ambience.
Located at 0445 Zone 5, Road 1 Laketown, Balabag, the restaurant is set to redefine the island’s food scene with a fresh culinary twist.
Gyukatsu Motomura’s fresh concept meets island charm
For those unfamiliar, Gyukatsu Motomura is a celebrated name in Japan, drawing in diners with its speciality beef cutlets that are delicately breaded, fried to golden perfection, and presented with a unique 30-second self-grilling option that allows diners to personalize each bite to their liking.
Now, with plans to open on Boracay’s shores, Gyukatsu Motomura Boracay is bringing this concept to the Philippines for the first time.
“We are beyond excited to bring the authentic taste of Gyukatsu Motomura to Boracay,” says Ricka Raga, Chief Marketing Officer of Gyukatsu Motomura Philippines. “Our goal is to offer both locals and tourists a one-of-a-kind dining experience that combines the island’s relaxed atmosphere with the exquisite flavors of our carefully prepared gyukatsu. We’re not just opening a restaurant, we are creating a destination for food lovers!”
As preparations for the grand opening continue, Gyukatsu Motomura Boracay is generating significant excitement, both from locals and international travelers looking for a new culinary experience.
The Boracay branch will feature the same classic menu that put Gyukatsu Motomura on the map, including the famed gyukatsu cutlets that diners can grill themselves at their table. By sourcing high-quality local beef, the restaurant promises to bring Japanese culinary standards to the Philippines, while embracing locally sourced ingredients to ensure freshness and sustainability.
Located in a cozy corner of Laketown, Balabag, the restaurant aims to offer diners an immersive setting highlighting both Japanese minimalist design and the natural beauty of Boracay. Patrons can enjoy an authentic Japanese meal while taking in the serene island ambiance — a setting designed to be as memorable as the food itself.
Revolutionizing Boracay’s food scene
Gyukatsu Motomura’s arrival on the island is more than just the introduction of a new restaurant; it represents a significant expansion of Boracay’s culinary offerings.
Known primarily for its seafood and traditional Filipino dishes, the island is now set to add Japanese gyukatsu to its roster, enhancing its appeal to international tourists who seek varied dining options during their stay.
The buzz around the restaurant’s opening is a promising sign of the impact Gyukatsu Motomura Boracay could have on local gastronomic tourism, as it appeals to food lovers seeking both quality and novelty.
“We’re not just bringing a restaurant to Boracay; we’re bringing an experience,” Raga added with enthusiasm. “Imagine savouring the perfect gyukatsu while enjoying the breathtaking Boracay sunset. It’s going to be unforgettable!”
Though the exact opening date is yet to be revealed, Gyukatsu Motomura Boracay has already started to build a following among eager diners. The restaurant recently launched an official Instagram account, @gyukatsuboracay, to share sneak peeks, menu teasers, and progress
updates on the much-anticipated opening.
