Since the province lives largely on tourism, restaurants are a lucrative business. There are about nine hundred restaurants in Cebu and the surrounding islands. So you won't go hungry.
According to reviews, the best restaurants and cafes in Cebu are to be found on Mactan Island. Not surprisingly, it's near the airport where you'll find Cebu's most fashionable hotels and the islands' best beaches. An example of such restaurants is Cowrie Cove at Shangri-La's Mactan Resort & Spa, located in Lapu-Lapu City. This cozy restaurant will delight you with Chinese and Filipino cuisine. Prices at this Cebu restaurant are kept between PHP 924 and PHP 4,620 per meal.
In Cebu itself, you can also find quite a few good restaurants. The Antica Osteria restaurant offers Italian food and excellent service. You can make a reservation by calling 032 4161355. Dinner prices here range from PHP 460 to PHP 1,150.
Amihan on Malapascua Island is one of Cebu's affordable restaurants. You can book a table here by calling +63 32 317 0124. Prices range from PHP 92 to PHP 508.
Like any country with an extensive beverage and dessert scene, the Philippines has plenty of cafes. The island of Cebu is no exception. Average prices at cafes in Cebu range from PHP 40 to 400, although there are more expensive options. Among the cafes in Cebu itself, a great choice would be Luy's Classic Tea House, a cozy establishment with a large selection of drinks and desserts.
