The Pantry
This has become one of my favorite places in Cebu. They serve really good – well, everything – at really good prices. It’s tiny so you can have the whole place to yourselves with a meeting of 10-12 people. You can have solo sandwiches or a platter of finger sandwiches for the table. It’s quiet and service is top-drawer! The Pantry is located at the Gallery in Mabolo. You can eat here for P150 per head.

Thursdays - 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM
