Kusina sa Plaza: The Home of Authentic Marinduque Cooking

If you want to actually taste Marinduque — not a hotel buffet approximation of it — Kusina sa Plaza on Mercader Street in Boac is where locals have been pointing visitors for years. This beloved family restaurant has built its name on serving the kind of food Marinduqueños grew up eating at home, done well and priced fairly.

A Menu Rooted in Tradition

Kusina sa Plaza is often called "The Home of Authentic Marinduque Cooking," and the kitchen earns that line honestly. From regional specialties to classic Filipino dishes, the food is simple, delicious, and inexpensive — the rare combination that keeps both locals and first-time visitors ordering seconds.

An Old-Town Boac Ambiance

The restaurant sits in a charming, homey space that fits right into Boac's old-town feel. As one diner described it, it's "a very homey place amidst the old town feel of Boac, and the clientele it attracts adds to the ambience of folksy…" That's part of the appeal — you're not just eating here, you're soaking in the character of the town itself.

Where Marinduque Cooking Feels Like Home

Whether it's a weekday lunch, a Sunday family meal, or a visitor's first real introduction to the island's flavors, Kusina sa Plaza gets the welcome right. "One of the good and clean restaurant in Boac," one regular put it. "Food is simple, quite delicious and inexpensive."

If your Marinduque trip has one meal where you want to eat like a local, this is it.
