The Place for Celebrations
March is graduation month. As such, it marks a milestone – as it is both the end and the beginning of a chapter in life. This momentous change calls for a celebration indeed. And what better way Filipinos celebrate if not by sharing a feast?
And so it’s time to gather family and friends and head over to Cebu’s favorite Filipino restaurant, Golden Cowrie.
In over 30 years of serving delectable comfort cuisine, Golden Cowrie has become a dining institution in Cebu, famous for Filipino cuisine. It’s the go-to restaurant for every occasion and gathering. With the Lahug branch’s fresh, modern contemporary interiors designed by celebrated interior designer Hannah Lim and a festive mural by Celso Pepito, the place exudes an undeniably Cebuano flair fit for any celebration.
“It brings us pride and honor knowing that Golden Cowrie is top-of-mind for the locals when thinking of where to celebrate and entertain out-of-town guests,” enthuses Golden Cowrie General Manager Kenneth Kokseng. He adds, “Being able to serve generations of diners and be part of memorable occasions gives us the inspiration and drive to continuously evolve and consistently provide our customers with that distinct dining experience they keep coming back for.”
The function halls, all named after famous local shells, can be made spacious or intimate depending on the type of gathering. The Budyong Hall and the Sigay Hall can accommodate up to 40 persons while the Saang Hall and Makan Hall can cater up to 16 persons. All four function halls can be merged to accommodate approximately 120 people. When a bigger celebration calls for more seating, the entire 400-square-meter restaurant area may be used to fit a maximum of 200 people.
Golden Cowrie Lahug, located along Salinas Drive, serves lunch every day from 11.a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily. For reservations, please contact (032) 233 – 4243.
