WHY GO
For over 25 years, this Cebu institution has been a popular go-to place for locals and visitors alike looking to savour traditional Filipino cuisine.
TATLER TIPS
For appetisers, start with fresh lumpia, or its own version of bouillabaisse, which is thick, creamy and has a silky texture, and comes with a generous serving of crabs, fish, and squid. A classic dish and popular with many families is pochero. The seafood platter is ideal for sharing and includes some of the freshest local catch. There’s a nice selection of glutinous desserts to cap off your meal including puto bumbong and bibingka as well as alltime refreshing favourites buko pandan and maize con yelo.
