Well the new Alavars de Cebu is definitely a must try. Although there is not a lot of variety on the food choices, they do have good food. I highly recommend their crispy pata, which is priced around P280 (serves 3-4) and the banana-wrapped lapu-lapu, which comes with this really good sauce.  If you're a fan of seafoods, they have a seafood platter which has a lil bit of everything (like scallops, etc.). The place is also famous for their crabs (i forgot the dish name, sorry!) which is around P500+ and serves 3-4.
Drinks range from P25-P70.
The interiors are nice, simple yet classy. And the place has both airconditioned and non-airconditioned areas. The waiting staff is also friendly. Oh, and they serve complimentary tea! Sweet!  I'm definitely going back.

The original owners (the parent's of the current owners) are a family friend of ours bisag katong sa zamboanga pa or basta the orig alavars. Father's day last year or was it this year (i couldn't remember) my dad took us to lunch and I was excited hearing that we were having our lunch at ALAvars cause they said that ilang food didto is yummy. The place was packed but gi attend pud mi og pag-ayo sa mga waiters didto. Food was okey, not something that i would crave for. but something happened na murag na dismaya gyud ko sa restaurant.
We ordered their unlimited plain rice, naka bantay mi na dugay kaayu gi serve nila ang rice and naa na among food and since rice eaters ming tanan and murag gi gutom nasad mi ato, nag cge mi og follow up kung asa na among rice. Unlike golden cowrie na murag they carry a bucket or murag rice cooker man tingali na around then they just place it in your plate, sa alavars, they place it in a huge bowl then mau rana ilang i.refill from time to time. the table next to us were japanese or korean tourists who left a couple of their bowls for the rice na puno2x pa. few minutes after murag na irate nami cge follow up sa among rice, na tag.an na intawn mi og rice but my dad noticed na murag ang rice sa pikas table mau ang gi serve sa amu, so she called the waiter and asked for us to be given new bowl of rice then ni ana ang waiter na nahutdan daw sila and they had to cook more, gusto gyud sa akong dad a new bowl and wanted to speak to their manager, timing naa didto ang anak sa tag.iya when the waiter approached the person and saw na it was my dad, dali2x gyud siya og duol sa among table and apologized and gave us garlic rice while wala pa ang plain rice namu. then timing pud naa sa kitchen ang katong close gyud na migo sa akong dad, then ni apologize gyud sila og maayu and gave us free deserts to compensate tingali sa ilang sayup. after that murag di nako ganahan mu balik ngadto.
