This is a must try when in Cebu. The pig was juicy and fatty and crispy in all the right ways.
The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was enjoying my meal.  And my iced tea was never empty. The greeter offered to take my photo without me asking.
I think there are a LOT of Lechon spots in Cebu, and this one ranks pretty high. And close walking to the Ayala mall.

I loved how the restaurant represents Filipino Culture mixed with modern interiors. The staffs were so very accommodating and approachable too! I also really liked the food plus with the rice being served on a kaldero looks so nice! ❤️ I will surely dine here when we come back to travel again in Cebu.

Staff were extremely welcoming. Food was really good as well (A little on the salty side as it is meant to eat it with some rice). Don’t forget to try their Bottomless Ice Tea. Some locals were there to have a nice meal for the birthday and the staffs were nice to sing them a birthday song as well.

This restaurant is named House of Lechon, and it definitely lives up to its name.

First order of business, err meal, should be Cebu Lechon. We didn't order a lot; just the 1/4 kilo for sharing. The Special Carcar Le honey was tasty and savory, and the skin was still very crisp and has a good crunch in it. They included a small amount of drippings that's a little on the salty side but if used sparingly makes the lechon more appetizing. The rice was cooked well, and served in small kaldero (reminded me of the time when I would cook rice during my childhood and end up burning the base, haha). Don't make a mistake of ordering the calamares if you still want to taste the squid. The turon could have been better without the caramelized sugar, but I believe it's for the presentation, so let it be.

The interiors are good, resembles a house and has Filipino touches to their Christmas decoration. They have an aircon and Al fresco dining areas too. Servers are attentive, courteous, and polite, esp. Ate Coline and Ate Ermie, and the manager checks on each table in the middle of the meal to ensure the quality of the food and dining experience.

Everything on the menu was on the pricey side, FYI, but the lechon was well worth it. Come before lunch (make it an early lunch at 10am) because the place became packed with less than an hour we're here. Overall, a good dining experience.

Was it a good try? DEFINITELY.
Will I come back again? When I miss lechon or when I come to Cebu again.
