Truly enjoyed this.  Although some might want to stay away from the big cities like Manila and Cebu, like my wife and I, restaurant choices become slimmer.  I would be very pleasantly surprised if they have a segment on restaurants in Marinduque.

 

But that's what visiting Manila is for - seeing friends and family and trying the offerings of Pasay, Makati, The Fort and Eastwood!

Pretty good recap of places to eat I have been to most 

 

Larision was ok its more the atmosphere at night

 

Vienna never been

 

Pino was very good but pretty pricey  If only all local food was this good

 

Bellini is a bar with great drinks bring lots of cash but next door at Anzi is one of the best places to eat period, great food, great service, great views and a price point worth the trip.

 

Abesria never been

 

Guisippi  Really really good, really expensive I seem to remember 6000p for dinner for 2 but worth it

A CAFÉ

 

Affectionately referred to as Abacá’s little sister, A Café which opened in early 2011, is a relaxed dining space located in the center of metropolitan Cebu City. While A Café shares some similarities with its more well-known big sister, it has a unique identity of its own. It is a more laidback venue, ideal for small business lunches or brunch with friends with a menu that is as no fuss as the space itself.

A Café serves breakfast all-day to cater to breakfast lovers who may want some buttermilk pancakes or eggs Benedict for lunch and dinner. There are lighter options such as fresh salads, soups, and sandwiches as well as hearty dishes like A Café’s skillets and Angus Burger. The cafe also features a full range of main courses making it the perfect intimate upscale dining venue in the city.

TAVOLATA

In the vein of a traditional Italian Trattoria – a casual, local gathering place for food, friends and wine – our menu reflects the purity of tradition by relying on the classical & effortless approach. The simple purity of our inspiration comes from the superior ingredients and technique of the Trattoria.

Everything on the menu at Tavolata is handcrafted, using only the finest local and imported ingredients. Our pasta is made fresh daily from 100% semolina from Italy using our bronze die extruder. Unlike the store bought pasta most restaurants use, you will find the delightful chewiness of freshly extruded pasta a wonderful experience. From the fermentation of the dough to the homemade toppings, you'll certainly agree that our hand-tossed pizzas are irresistible.

The joy of eating, both simply and well, while among good company is the aspiration of Tavolata. It is with this simple thought that we invite you to sit, dine an enjoy life with those you love at our Tavolata!

Hours: Lunch 11:30am - 2:30pm & Dinner 5pm - 10pm.

Restaurant: Cafe Marco, Marco Polo Plaza

City: Cebu

Country: PHILIPPINES 

Complete Address: Cebu Veterans Drive, Nivel Hills, Apas. Cebu City Phils.

Marco Polo Plaza Hotel once called Cebu Plaza is a very famous hotel at Cebu. Situated on top of a hill and very visible especially from your plane seat, this hotel has one of the best international buffets in town. They serve it at their very own Cafe Marco. They have a very good station which serves good Dim sum / Wok Food or Chinese Food. At this station you can also find, Peking Ducks or the native Lechon Cebu is made famous for. Another station has breads, a bit of Japanese thus sushi, salamis, cheeses and cold appetizers. A grilling station and Tempura station you can also find at one corner and of course my favorite the Pastry Section which has its famous Crepe Station.

Antica Osteria -Wines & Deli shop!

 

Antica Osteria  located @ STC Building, #1 Paseo Satrunino, Ma. Luisa Road, Banilad Cebu City has finally opened to cater the retail market, it is the sole distributor of  the products imported directly from Italy and France by IL DUCATO TRADING, INC. in Banilad, Mandaue City. 

It has been my dream to open a shop, where when you get in, you can feel the ambiance like in Italy, but when Il Ducato started to import other products beyond Italian, we have decided to have the theme of the shop, be European, a mix of Italy, France and even a hint of English or British style.... I would have to say that we were never wrong about it, because when people come in, some will say, it seems that they are inside an italian deli shop "trattoria", "osteria" or in a bar...some say, its got a European feel when they get in...so with this mix of hints and style, we can attract people of different descent...and that was satisfying!
