Must-Try Buffets in Cebu
Cebu is a gastronomic melting pot. With its tasty lechon (roast pig), zesty inasal (chargrilled meats), ‘sutukil’ na saang (three-way conch), there’s really just so much to try in this tourist-favorite destination. Visiting a buffet restaurant is the easiest way to get the full diverse experience, so if it’s your first time in the ‘second most preferred destination in the Philippines’ or are planning to celebrate an occasion, check out the following places in Cebu where you can have the ultimate buffet experience (price, menu, and other information are subject to change without notice):
1. Pusô Bistro & Bar at Quest Hotel
Located inside Quest Hotel in Cebu City is Pusô Bistro & Bar, a notable restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets. The restaurant has been recognized as one of the best places to have breakfast in Cebu, so you can expect to have a great morning feast here! With their tasty tocino and crispy bacon, to waffles, pancakes, and eggs as you want them, you can expect to have a very nice start of the day.
But aside from breakfast, Pusô also offers one of the most satisfying dinner spreads in the city. Aside from their lechon and lechon belly, they serve all the representative Filipino dishes, including adobo! They also have various stations, such as kinilaw (ceviche), sushi, dim sum, and more, which are perfect if you’re celebrating a birthday or milestone.

2. Allegro Restaurant at Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort
That Cebu is a culinary hotbed is something that Bluewater Maribago showcases excellently. Its main restaurant — the elegant Allegro — offers nightly themed dinners, including Kusina Latina on Tuesdays, Feast Asia on Thursdays, Seafood Night on Fridays, and La Americana (Steak Night) on Sundays. However, if your business is to try the succulent lechon, you’ll have to visit Allegro Restaurant on a Saturday when they hold their Barrio Fiesta special.
Of course, if you’re searching for a nice breakfast buffet place in Cebu, the same restaurant in Bluewater Maribago cooks up morning delights just the way you like them!

3. Feria at Radisson Blu Cebu
One of the top-rated buffet restaurants in Cebu City is Radisson Blu’s Feria. With its large and vibrant space, the place makes for a spectacular night-out with your date, friends, or family. Aside from local Cebuano dishes, you can also expect to get a gratifying fill of Mediterranean, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian food, depending on the day and time of your visit.
If you’ll be in Cebu City on a Sunday, I highly recommend having your lunch at Feria. Their buffet puts premium dishes like lechon, kinilaw (Philippine Ceviche), and sisig (chopped pig’s head, liver, and/or belly) on the spotlight, among other must-try Filipino food. They also have a halo-halo station where you can make your own version of the Philippines’ iconic summer dessert that consists of shaved ice, beans, fruits, jelly, flan, evaporated milk, and more!

Let their skilled chefs impress you with local and East Asian-influenced offerings as you marvel at the beauty of the island or commemorate a birthday or anniversary.
Crimson Mactan’s buffet typically features representative dishes from the Philippines, China, Japan, and South Korea. You may visit them for lunch or dinner for their full intercontinental spread, but if you want to have a nice head start to your itinerary, drop by in the morning for their delicious porridge, steamed buns, bacon, pancakes, waffles, daing (dried fish), and more!
