Manny O's

Service was good, very attentive and the lady serving us was very knowledgable. However, I found it a bit too obtrusive sometimes. They would force you to listen to them explain the different tapas (even when you were too hungry to listen or having too much fun chatting with friends to care). Sometimes, Id just like to savor the food and not care what it is. If I get curious, then Ill ask.

The wine selection was pretty good. specially the red wine. Hmm...i couldnt get a good look at the bottle..it started with a letter W.
I hear the wine selection was hand picked by the owners, no Hilton touch there.

I highly recommend the...geez, i forgot the name...basta, its like lumpia with margarita dip, pretty good. My favorite would be the spikey shomai. Interesting. The margarita pizza, dont bother. The salpicao, good. Very tender, a bit too oily for me but many of my meat loving friends enjoyed it.

Over all, we had a good time in Manny O's.

Borussia Try the ff: Goulash - The best i've ever had. (ive never had authentic goulash made by an austrian hehe but if the real one is anything like the one they have...then ) Apple Crumble Pie - very light and fresh, I could eat a whole pie. This is the only dessert that I actually dream about! And im not even a dessert person. Their breads...oommph! pan palang, ulam na. haha Service: this isnt your typically restraurant with a server. Its an open house, modest but surrounded by a coconut plantation by the beach. But they do have tables for dinners. They dont really do it for the money (so the price is modest) but for the love of good food. Good luck in finding it.

what's the current location of Borussia?
thanks

@ Namnori: My apology! How embarrassing...i must have been thinking of a different conversation when I was thinking of Austria.

@ bulaklak: Sorry I wasnt able to see your post on time...I hope you found a good restaurant for Valentines. Anyway, in Guadalupe..there are alot of small restaurants for food trips. Qstick, for that baby back ribs with super spicy sauce. There's that spanish restaurant in Fairlane, but the name of the restaurant escapes me (ill leave it at that for now, before ko masayop napud hehe). Then there's Zao, food was good before but service was really slow (worth checking).

@Neoxdeath: its still in Sogod (i hope..the last time I was there was mid last year i think). Its to the left side of the road if your going back to Cebu city. Big orange sign by the road.

i don't wanna sound lame eh but where's Sogod?

You guys should check out Cebu Italian Pizza connection. It's near Velez and accross from Joe's Chicken Inato. The Pizza is great. Authentic Sicilian stuff. Thin crust, but very delicious. The Calzone is very good as well and the risoto is ridiculously good. It'll probably close at around april or may so you guys better check it out before then =p

[filz_33]

why are they closing nmn? are they affordable?

Orange77: the spanish restaurant's name Arano's

[Orange77]

Pnoize: How can I forget...Aranos! I love the chorizo, the lengua and my favorite, the Paella Why don't we go to Aranos one of these days for the Diner's Club and have loads and loads of spanish cooking.

They have the best Aglio Olio in Cebu. been to all the restos with good Aglio Olio but this place tops the list. Restos I've been to are the following:

Cafe georg
La Gondola
idea italia (strangely, they own both restaurants but the same dish taste different)
La buona ( I forgot the second word)

Overall rating 3.5 as well

Abeseria

(along atek's in mabolo)
My favorite Resto
i could say its a fusion cuisine very affordable service is great. I haven't tried anything i didnt like.
must try
Chili crabs
korean omelet
you need to order these a day ahead.

lami ila :
fried flat fish
bangus belly
baked ribs in ginger
steamed veggies in sour cream &wasabi sauce

ambiance is great , and really great if you have visitors not from cebu they will enjoy their gift shop.

I've tried it, they have eat all you can for P480 and you just add P20 including bottomless drinks na. Plus tax will make it P550 per pax. The best thing they have are the prawns, big ones. yummy...
