Cebu is widely known for its pork dishes, but being a city with an evolving culinary scene, it welcomes gastronomy in all forms, including vegetable and seafood-based dishes. Here are some meatless options for the Lenten season.
The Salt Baked Beetroot with goat’s cheese is a classic pairing of earthy and sweet-savory flavors with a hint of acidity. It is then topped with walnuts to add crunch and texture. Other vegetable-based options include the Chargrilled Miso Carrots with baba ganoush and walnut pesto; and the Cauliflower Salad with parmesan, parsley, and walnut, both favorites of regular diners.
The Pig & Palm’s classic Grilled Mackerel on toasted sourdough, tomato, black olive, and pickled onion is also a must try along with the Cured Salmon served with confit tomato, braised daikon, and mustard. The newest addition to the menu is the Garlic Prawns with squid ink aioli.
