Finding a homebase for your Cebu trip is crucial because the city is huge and you have to decide the most strategic location. Are you spending most of your time in Cebu City? On the beaches of Mactan? Figure out the most convenient jump off point, and select from our top 10 Cebu hotel picks:
1. Lechon - Cebu was where Anthony Bourdain had his first taste of lechon, which he boldly declared the “Best pig ever!”, so you really cannot leave without having a meal (or three) dedicated to the roasted pig.
2. Ngohiong - Ngohiong is Cebu’s version of the lumpiang shanghai or the vietnamese spring rolls. It’s a deep-fried delicacy made of ground pork and bamboo shoots, and can be enjoyed as an ulam over rice or along with other street food like squid balls or kwek-kwek.
3. Sutukil - SuTuKil is basically any type of fish cooked in whichever way you please: “Su” for Sugba (meaning grill), “Tu” for Tula (meaning stew), and “Kil” for Kilawin (meaning cooked in vinegar). The trick is to order one of each to see which you like best.
4. Mango Pizza - Cebu is famous the world over for their sweet mangoes, and while having the fruit on its own is delicious, you better believe having it on a pizza is a must-try. Forget about pineapples on pizza because mango is the way to go.
5. Puto Maya - Puto Maya is like the Thai mango sticky rice except better because it is served with tablea and they only use the sweetest of Cebu mangoes.
6. Humba - Humba is a well-loved visayan dish, which is similar to the adobo except sweeter and fattier.
This breakdown is an estimation based on food prices, hotel bookings, activities, and entrance fees for one. These prices could go lower or higher depending on the amount of people in your group.
