Very disappointed! This is our second visit to Cafe de Cebu. First was in the old place and this is our first on this location.
This place is a 100 degrees turn around from the first location. The kitchen is in front left side as you get in the eating area , and as soon as you go in you can smell what's being prepared in the kitchen. When we get into the restaurant , I smelled an uncooked smelly pig smell. It smelled ' MALANSA' in Tagalog ! Eww and in that moment my appetite just went down from 100 to ZeRo..
There's a band equipment in the front and we were told later that they now have karaoke at night! In the middle of the room in front of the band is a seating area made of wood pallets and the seats are padded, but still didn't impress me. The eating tables lined up against the wall and the bench are so hard and uncomfortable to sit on. Whoever designed it should be fired !
Now let's discuss about the food! We ordered the lechon belly; this is the reason we came back to Cafe this Cebu, because when we first tasted it at the first location , we fall in love with it. It was crispy and sizzling hot. This time, it was at room temperature and the skin was leathery. We ordered a 1/2 pound which cost $8.00, not worthed at all . We were very disappointed. We also ordered Pinakbet worth $7.00/order. When our order was served, my hubby and I looked at each other and I said 'That's it?' Lol. Very poor presentation on both dishes.
To sum it up, Big disappointment! We'll not come back and not recommended at all! Sorry but not sorry!
