NUSTAR Resort Cebu pays homage to Cebuano cuisine with Taste Cebu

NUSTAR Resort Cebu pays homage to Cebuano cuisine with Taste Cebu, a grand celebration of the city's cultural heritage and vibrant future. Rich in meaningful content, this year's food and drink showcase on January 17, 2025, is a foray into the kitchens of both artisans of heirloom Cebuano fare and today's progressive professional chefs.


Adding a unique twist to this signature NUSTAR event is a foretaste of Cebu's future culinary landscape, presented by talented, award-winning students from top culinary schools in the city.

Launched in June 2024, Taste Cebu this year is timed in January as a fitting tribute to the country's largest and most spectacular festival, Cebu's Sinulog 2025.

The Dual Flavors of Cebu: Yesterday and Today

Adding to Taste Cebu's creative flair, the chefs at NUSTAR will blend Cebu's traditional and contemporary flavors.

Attendees can look forward to a unique gastronomic journey that highlights the tastes of Cebu's past and present and inspires a fusion of both.

NuStar will set the culinary experience against a stunning visual backdrop that celebrates Cebu's overall beauty.
