For the
past 500 years – a half millennium –
the Philippines has been a mixing bowl of cultures
from all throughout the world – Asia, Europe,
North America, Africa.
Each culture has brought their
favorite food and cooking style with them - enjoy
them all.
Selecting a Dining Out Experience
From pasta as tasty
as you can find in Turin, Italy – to the mouth
watering smell of fresh French croissants – to
Chinese pansit that makes you think you’re in
Shanghai – you’ll find a cuisine here to
fit all of your tastes. Variety of Dining-Out experiences
is one of the fun reasons to visit Cebu – or
live here.
As you would expect
from the “Land of Thousands of Islands and Millions
of Smiles”, fish is
still king. You’ll find virtually every
variety you’ve ever heard of – many that
you’ve never heard of. And you’ll eat them
grilled, baked, fried, boiled, stewed, even barbequed
on a stick.
From posh restaurants
with uniformed staff – to neighborhood street
vendors – to all-you-can-eat buffets, there are
thousands of establishments to select from. Here are
a few you shouldn’t miss if you enjoy good eating.
If you like good eating – you’ll love
Cebu.

want to be - we’ve selected a good sampling of
