HOUSE
OF LECHON
Acacia St, Cebu
City
Type: Filipino | A la Carte
Hours: 10 AM to 10 PM daily
Must Taste: Lechon
When
it comes to the best tasting Lechon in the country, we can all admit that Cebu
definitely has the best.
And
just like most people say, your Cebu food-tripping will not be complete without
a taste of their world-famous lechon! Better believe it 'cause it's true. This
whole roasted tender and flavorful pig meat with crunchy red skin that is
cooked to perfection will give you heartache if you missed it.
However,
as soon as you step outside Cebu, you'll see yourself having a hard time
looking for the best Lechon therein. Some claim theirs are original while some
gave their own take to make their own unique.
But
when you dine at House of Lechon, you're assured with the best tasting lechon
in town. Why? Aside from the elegant dining setting, this restaurant features
the famous Carcar lechon paired with their signature lechon sauce. You can
either dip it or pour directly to the tender meat. It's a sight to see indeed,
and so is its taste.
Did we give you a
good option? Or does it just made you hungry? ‘Cause we sure are craving now for
a taste of Cebu’s pride cuisine.
