and I just finished our pampering session at the salon, now it was time to unwind and pamper our hungry belly. This restaurant was just a few minute stroll from Ayala mall at I.T. Park Lahug. If you come visit Cebu, you definitely have to visit I.T. Park, it has lots of bars, restaurants, cafes, bazaars and a shopping mall. It is one of the places in the city that's alive and energetic especially on the weekends. Stores there close late at night. It is basically a business park/center, you'll find big companies situated there and high rising buildings that's operating almost 24/7.
We were craving for a light snack and a place to chill while waiting for other friends to come. We found ourselves in this restaurant with a really nice interior and cocktail bar inside. It was my first time there and it looks pretty fancy. The waiter accommodated our request to sit outside since it was kinda hot and we wanted the comfy couch. It was around 4:30pm in the afternoon, not much guests yet. People started coming in during dinner time at 6-7pm, the tables outside were reserved and the staff were getting busy as the night approaches. 🍽
There's actually more tables upstairs but I wasn't able to take pictures. The set up upstairs is perfect for a date night 😉 Above their cocktail bar is a small platform were the live band plays. I think my photos doesn't give justice to how amazing their interior design was. I really liked the place, hoping I could someday try their other dishes. 😁
They have tons to offer and everything looks interesting and appetizing. Since we were there for some snacks, we went straight to the Pica-Pica section. We decided to order their Fry Roulette (Filipinos love anything FRIED 🤣) which is a platter of onion rings, potato wedges, potato chips, calamari, battered fish and fries with 6 different homemade dips! Am I making you drool? 🤣😋
It costs 888php (Lucky number!) which is 17 USD. We were so hungry and excited to see our order!
Check out their Menu and see if you like anything. Suggest what I can try on my next visit too!
What's your go to drink on a chilly, relaxing night?
Unfortunately, I didn't order a drink because I was driving my scooter. But usually, I'm a beer person than cocktail drinks. If there's no beer, I get a long island or margarita. 🍹🍻
Oh! Here's a clearer photo of where the band plays! They have live music everyday starting at 7:30 PM until 10:30 PM. Awesome right?! Imagine sitting by the bar, listening to the band playing while watching the bartender make your cocktail drink! Seems like I'm directing a movie scene 🤣
If you are in a big group then it's better to sit outside in their couch. You'll have a nice view of the bar, band and the outdoor. You wouldn't feel guilty also if you talk loud with your friends. Although, I have to warn you, it can be really busy and noisy during the evening because other restaurants have their own bands/music played as well.
Here we are, SUPER SHOCKED at our order! 🤣 I mean kinda expecting it would be a lot for just the two of us but not this gigantic! ahahaah This can feed 3 more people. Well, the boys were coming anyway, they can help us finish it haha. But look at that! It's a mountain of all my favorite. It can literally cover our whole face. 🤣
and I didn't wait any longer, we immediately attacked and tried all the sauces! The calamari was so soft and the fish tasted so good! We didn't even make it halfway when we started commenting that we were full. 🤦♀🤣 Our bellies are happy!
This is their Mojito drink (white rum, lime, mint, soda) thats costs 365php or 7 USD. While the other drink is a shot of Jack Daniel's that costs around 300php or 6 USD.
Woot! Another restaurant you must try in Cebu! Let me know what you think when you get there. 😄
Enjoy your day! See you on the next place where my tastebuds will take me!
