Sugbo Mercado

Cebu City


Patrons flock to this fantastic food park in Cebu IT Park to gnaw on a dizzying array of Filipino and Southeast Asian specialties to the sound of live acoustic music. This being Cebu, barbecue is the highlight, but you'll also find Thai, tempura, chicken skin, a smokehouse and much more – all at shoestring prices.

After filling up you're well positioned to hit the myriad bars in and around IT Park.
