IT is common knowledge that Cebuanos are by nature adventurous when it comes to food and dining. We love to seek out new food places that serve dishes that our taste buds haven’t met yet. Our yardstick for liking a new restaurant have even evolved through the years along with new concepts introduced to us. But what remains unchanged for this matter is that a new restaurant must have good ambiance, serve great-tasting dishes, must be accessible, and have quality service.
