the pig and palm

i was totally blown away. what can i say? this is probably the perfect restaurant i ever tried in the philippines that wouldnt hurt your pocket (unlike antonio’s in tagaytay that would cost a fortune). the service is five star and their food is just one of a kind beyond amazing. i just couldnt describe how much of a genius the chef is - because it was the kind that literally impressed me beyond words. i had the kfc korean fried chicken and cauliflower salad for starters - they were both ridiculously good. and their pork belly confit is just from another level - it was the best pork belly i had in my life. it was something that i would never forget. it came with mashed potatoes that was so perfectly done you just want to savour every bite. their parrot fish in parsley sauce was also excellent. the mackerel with sourdough bread was fresh and also beautifully crafted. they have a wide array of drinks from non-alcoholic to alcoholic beverages - and the place is just impeccable. the vibe is very cosy yet modern. i love how it is surrounded by greenery. its a very beautiful spot to hang out day and night. to me it deserves more than a michelin star! when incebu- this place should not be missed. it is indeed a dining destination, and i am definitely coming back.

the pig and palmcebuis a pretty intimidating restaurant and it has every right to be. considering a michelin-starred chef owns it, you’d think the restaurant is expensive. but with the right recommendations, it doesn’t have to be.

it was a delightful experience; one we couldn’t help not to share with friends and family. we spent around p800 for our dinner date which included the following:

grilled squid, seaweed salad, green mango, and confit tomatoes 👍👍👍👍

chicken karaage, sriracha mayonnaise 👍👍👍

chargrilled miso carrots, baba ganoush, walnut pesto 👍👍👍👍👍

pan con tomate, parsley, basil 👍👍👍👍

i was just recently introduced with "michelin" ratings few months ago and when i heard that there's a new resto incebuwith a michelin star rated chef, dint think twice to try. as always,i based my order on the suggested or recommended foods in zomato..the red hering wih clams is a must try and also the fried chicken..the place is so cozy and peaceful away from the busy streets of metro cebu..

we celebrated our company's christmas party at the pig & palm in cebu. it's owned by a michelin-starred chef jason atherton and his 16th restaurant around the world.

i was amazed by the chic and cozy ambiance of the restaurant. once you enter you feel a sense of posh and elegance of every furniture and decorations around the restaurant. he fused the usual filipino favorites with his spanish menu.

here are the dishes:
starters:
croquettes 💛💛💛💛💛
kinilaw 💛💛💛💛💛 it was sooo good plus the platting it was deliciously divine.
peas 💛💛💛💛
corn fritters 💛💛💛💛
foie gras burgers 💛💛💛💛💛
grilled squid 💛💛💛💛💛

main:
suckling pig 💛💛💛💛 the meat was tender but the skin wasn't as crunchy.
rib eye 💛💛💛💛💛

desserts:
choco meoleuex 💛💛💛💛💛 i love, love this dessert. heaven in my mouth.
basil sorbet 💛💛💛💛

overall our experience was delightful and we were full by the end of the night. it's a must try! your trip tocebuwouldn't be complete without trying this resto out.

i don't mean to be rude. my palette may be compared to that of a peasant's/commoner, but when i order a 750 peso meal [take note, singular noun], i'd expect a meal that has big portions or [emphasizing that it doesn't have to be both] a dish that will blow my mind. on top of the expensive food, they'll also bill you for service charge. not saying their food was bad or that their service wasn't at par with other fancy restaurants here in cebu, but i swear you can find a better restaurant at cebu, heck,cebubusiness park for that matter, that has more bang for the buck than this place. if you like pretencious snotty food who just want to try out food from the head chef who is has a michelin star restaurant abroad, then by all means, try this place out. would i come back to eat here? only if i never have to pay for anythingn but even so, i wouldn't recommend at all.

ambience, food, service --- excellent. my best dining experience incebuand easily included in my top 10 restaurants to dine in

oder the parrot fish dish, the roasted carrot with miso and peanut butter praline

this place is amazing! it is now my number one place in cebu, we sat at the counter and spoke to the chef who is from england and he really knew his stuff. he gave us a parrot fish dish which was new on the menu and it was the nicest fish dish i have had incebuin all of my time here. we are booked to go back again next week with some collegues. a bit out of the way rounud the back of ayala but they have plenty of parking and trust me its worth a visit if you are looking for a proper dining experience.

located in his filipina wife’s hometown in cebu, pig and palm is the latest restaurant by u.k. michelin-star chef jason atherton. i heard about it from a fellow blogger, and it had just opened when my family came tocebufor a wedding. the place was rustic-chic, and by reservation only.
