Food Scene
Love the California Maki! Their servings are super sulit per pax. Their service is kinda’ fast and I like that they have a lot of food choices plus their platter is amazing — perfect for the friendships!!
This is indeed a budget-friendly Japanese resto that a lot of Cebuanos visit. They have an acoustic band every weekend, too!
I just think they offer very limited drinks, that’s why I always go for their fruit shakes (well it’s healthier). The place is not so big. Sometimes we had to wait longer to get our seats, but the food’s always worth the wait.

A must try place if you really love coffee. The owner is an established roaster from SG, and he is bringing his trade to Cebu. He roasts the best specialty coffees in the world, and sells the beans too. The place has bar top if you want to sample the coffee in the shop. They do manual pour overs and specialty espresso shots, with or without milk, as well.

Just love everything about the degustation dinner prepared by no less than the Master Chef himself, Ron V! Thanks to a high school friend for the invitation, we were treated to a whole new level of dining. Chef Ron put a whole new meaning to local food experience!
Have never tried eating “kinilaw” before (I am not into “raw fishes”) but Chef Ron’s unique take on “deconstructed tangigueng kinilaw” is simply brilliant. First ever experience too to try takyong, and I say it Chef Ron has a genius mind in balancing the different taste to tempt your palate. Love the talinum and banana blossom salad! Is there anything in the degustation dinner I do not love? TBH, none!

An authentic Japanese Izakaya in Cebu serving dishes prepared by Nihon-jins. Very good ambiance reminiscent of the small shops one can find tucked in the streets of Japan. Apparently, the go to place of the local Japanese community. Delightful fusion of Japanese cooking and fresh Cebuano seafood.

Perhaps the best buffet in the city. Good quality of food and drinks, the service is professional and well trained and even the ambience is more quiet and private than other buffets in town.

Great coffee and variety of coffee roasters. Tried one from Costa Rica with a hint of blueberry & hazelnut. Smooth and strong. Great atmosphere with upmarket decor. Great service too! A great find for us newcomers in Cebu City.

Perfect place for a high end chilling experience with pretty decent crowd. They have a lot of cocktails, shooters and drinks that you can think of. So if you are up for a night of partying head on to The Distillery.
