Sundays are meant to be slow—reserved for the finer things in life, like the warmth of a cup of coffee in the morning or the indulgence of a leisurely lunch at a favorite restaurant. It’s a day when time slows down, inviting us to savor the moments, the flavors, and the company we keep.

Taking inspiration from this cherished Sunday ritual, Enye by Chele Gonzalez presents a new lunch set menu, carefully curated to elevate the dining experience at Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan. The menu is a blend of modern and classic Spanish favorites, thoughtfully crafted by celebrated Chef Chele Gonzalez to tickle the palate in the best ways possible.
Cebu Lechon Taco
Beginning with an enticing selection of tapas. The Croqueta de Espinacas y Queso de Cabra, Cebu Lechon Taco, and Tartar Cangrejo y Salmon is a play of flavors and textures. The creamy croqueta, flavorful smoked salmon, and savory lechon tacos are unrivaled combinations that warm up the taste buds, preparing them for a delightful series of meals ahead. Complementing these small bites is homemade sourdough bread, paired with a truffle-infused compound butter.
Huevos Rotos
The first course is interesting—Huevos Rotos, a beloved Spanish dish featuring “broken eggs” served over a bed of golden, crispy potatoes. At Enye, this dish is elevated with three variations: chorizo iberico, jamon iberico, and Spanish sausage.
Chef Chele shared a fun fact. While eggs are traditionally a breakfast staple in the Philippines, in Spain, they are commonly enjoyed at lunch or dinner. And really, who could resist the irresistible combination of runny eggs, crispy potatoes, and savory cured meats at any time of the day?
Paella Valencia
The second course presented a choice between two distinct paellas—Paella Valencia, a timeless classic cooked with chicken, rosemary, and green beans; and Paella Negra, a bold, seafood-infused dish made with squid ink, grilled octopus, and scallops. The use of arborio rice ensures to speak close to Spanish cuisine, as each grain absorbs the rich flavors, making every bite a sensation.
Solomillo de Ternera
To cleanse the palate, Enye offers a classic Spanish sangria, with guests choosing between the bold, fruity depth of red wine or the crisp, refreshing notes of white. Either option pairs beautifully with the third course. For the main entrées, diners can savor the Solomillo de Ternera—a tender beef tenderloin—or choose between two flavorful alternatives: Pescado en Adobo, the catch of the day delicately prepared in rich adobo sauce, or Crispy Pork Belly, served atop a smooth cabbage purée and finished with a smoky paprika jus that highlights its savory richness.
No meal at Enye is complete without dessert. Everything resonates deeply through the selection of sweet treats to end every feast. The Coconut Textures is a unique yet delectable concoction, a tropical medley of panna cotta, meringue, and ice cream. The ever-popular Churros is delightful to the mouth. Its crisp exterior contrasts with the pillowy interior when dipped in high-grade chocolate sauce with a subtle hint of togarashi pepper.
