Lemon Cafe

In the busy mall plaza, the soothing lemon coloured décor at the aptly named Lemon Café is a veritable oasis of calm, and offers the perfect respite from the heat of the day - as well as being an ideal vantage point for a spot of people watching. The restaurant serves a selection of breakfast options and light meals, and the emphasis here is on “creative modern cuisine”, with dishes which are both delicious and healthy. The breads and patisserie selections are prepared on site at the café’s own little bakery, and the menu lists dishes as diverse as eggs benedict, Thai lemon chicken ciabatta and pan-fried fillet of Mahi Mahi (served on warm potato salad with spicy caper dressing).

A popular lunchtime favourite is the Lemons Club Sandwich (chicken, bacon and prawns with salad and pesto mayo), and the Steak & Onion Sandwich though simple, is juicy and full of flavour. Additional main courses are usually displayed on the specials board, and it is the ability to whip up innovative creations such as these which earned head chef Peter Montemayor the first prize in Boracay's Iron Chef competition last April.

While Lemon Cafe might not be the first place which springs to mind when thinking of dinner, there is a good choice of main meals on offer, such as Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Thyme. Be sure to try one of the refreshing iced juice drinks, such as the mint and pineapple crush, and for dessert the chocolate mousse and the caramel cup are mouthwateringly good.
