YOU’LL NEVER GO HUNGRY IN CEBU

Not only is the food in Cebu delicious but it is also cheap! I think I gained a few pounds during my short vacation in Cebu, hehe. :D If ever you are in Cebu, you might want to try these restaurants:

1. Port Restaurant - Waterfront Cebu City Hotel, Salinas Drive, Lahug, Cebu City

For only 199 pesos/person, one can already avail of the eat-all-you-can lunch buffet of Port Restaurant! Though the area’s choices are quite limited, the food is still good and who can complain with this price. Make sure though to reserve a table before going here. The restaurant can get pretty crowded as it is a popular place.

2. Casa Verde - 69 V. Ranudo Ext., Cebu City

My favorite restaurant in Cebu is definitely Casa Verde. We always dine in the original branch which has a homey atmosphere. Aside from that, what I like about Casa Verde is that the food is truly value for money. Here are some food pics during my last visit in Casa Verde:

Southwest pasta reminded me of Chili’s Cajun Chicken Pasta.

A visit to Casa Verde is never complete without ordering Brian’s Ribs. ^_^ The price is only 168 pesos for 2 huge slabs!

Death by Chocolate is really huge! I’m glad that I had my mom and Kuya Soc to help me finish it. The three of us were so full afterwards!

My mom was actually surprised to learn that our bill was only 600 pesos+. She said that if it was in another restaurant, we would have paid a thousand+ pesos for the food we ate.


3. Hukad sa Golden Cowrie -Level 2 The Terraces, Ayala Center, Cebu Business Park


We had dinner here on our first day in Cebu. I was quite nervous since my uncle was the one ordering the food and being a picky eater, his choices were not my type. So I was compelled to try foods that I do not usually eat.

Baked Scallops (123 pesos) - One of the standouts was definitely the scallops. The first time I tried to eat scallops was in Mesa restaurant and I did not like it. I was hesitant to try the scallops but since I had few choices, I tried one. I ended up eating three scallops that night, hehe. :D

Fried Tadyang (115 pesos) - The other noteworthy food here is the beef tadyang. Normally I do not like beef as I find it “malansa” and leaves an aftertaste but in Hukad, the beef is well-done and crispy. I also like how the rice was wrapped in pandan and it is unlimited! ;) I’m thankful that my uncle took us to this restaurant as I was given the chance to eat and like something unexpected.


4. Handuraw Pizza - 460 Gorordo Avenue, Lahug, Cebu City

The cheesy cheese pizza of Handuraw is really yummy. I also like how your pizza can be split and have two different flavors as long as the higher price is followed. I’m sorry if I don’t have any pics to show as I was really tired when we went there since it was our last day.
