Sialo Cebu

Thank you for understanding my diet and did perfect service without meat as I am a pesco vegetarian! The experience at your restaurant was just out of the world, and just the best restaurant i've ever been so far. I was full of my heart as well. I am so glad I chose to come to you as a last dinner in Cebu to feel the Cebuano cuisine with such an amazing philippino hospitality. I lost my words for each the dishes. My favorite dishes were nasaag sa kalasangan with egg fruit as it was well balanced of sweet, creamy and salt, and the taco with jack fruit... it was my best taco ever. I also love the fake peach mango egg yolk on the spoon🥄 just so many flavors in this course. I felt I was exploring the Cebu in just one night. So grateful for all of chefs and waiter/waitress for the best efforts. As I'm also a chef , this experience really inspired me. Just wanted to say thank you🙏♥️🤌🏾

5/5 stars! Sialo Restaurant truly exceeded my expectations! The food was superb – a bold yet thoughtful recreation of Cebuano dishes that showcased each course with precision and creativity. I loved how every dish was well-portioned, allowing us to savor the 13-course meal without feeling overwhelmed. One suggestion for improvement: adding some decorative touches or greenery to the entrance would elevate the overall ambiance of this hidden gem. Nonetheless, the exceptional food and service make Sialo a must-visit for anyone looking to experience authentic Cebuano cuisine. Highly recommended!

We had an incredible experience. My partner and I decided to try this place out as it was on the top of our list of upcoming restaurants in the Cebu food scene. It didn't disappoint. The food is well thought through, they extract flavours naturally from local products of the Philippines, even included ingredients I completely forgot about because they have become less and less common. Even many of the more mainstream flavours tasted subtle and delicate because the cooks at Sialo make many components completely by scratch, fermenting them with time, attending to them when needed. I went through a journey of nostalgic Filipino flavours but at an elevated level and was well worth the price. The restaurant is situated behind a house, the entrance is an experience in itself, we questioned it but it brought us into a beautiful extension of the house that becomes the restaurant. It was like you were entering a speak easy, something only insiders knew about. It was quite special and we learned that the reason being was because the chef wanted to use the space for his passion of cooking after a super typhoon hit Cebu. We cannot wait to come back with more of our friends, we would send more visitors over their way and don't hesitate to make a reservation. The chef and staff work very hard and you can tell how passionate they all are, we wish you all the best!

It was a great discovery of this hidden treasure restaurant - Sialo Cebu. The restaurant is like a culinary school, from kitchen staff to servers, everyone is trying to practice their best knowledge learned from the school to their customers. I did not know that the Philippines traditional foods can be this delicious and elegant. The taste and the presentation was impressive. We also had a bottle of German Riesling from Mosel, it complimented the entire course meal. Highly recommended.

A must visit in Cebu!! A fantastic night of foods, fun and culinary cultural experiences. Recently booked a Hikay 18 course menu for my 6th year anniversary with the wife, and had a really enjoyable night! First of all I would like to acknowledge how accommodating the entire Sialo staff were upon arriving. Miss Candice the manager was exceptional towards my wife and I. The Cebuano inspired food was delicious, made with locally sourced ingredients, and upon presenting the difference dishes the staff will give a rundown on the dishes ingredients and a little bit of Cebuano cultural meaning of the dish itself. Marvi and Racquel presented the dishes throughout the night and done a fantastic job, very knowledgeable and answered my questions about the dishes as I’m a foreigner and not familiar with the Bisaya terms. I can see the passion of the head chef in briefly chatting with him and hearing him chatting to the other tables, and it shows through the positive, professional attitude of the staff, the food and general atmosphere of Sialo. Would recommend for foodies and non foodies alike, something different to do when you’re in Cebu City! 11/10 (:

A bold and beautiful rediscovery of Cebuano roots through playful, meaningful, and deeply personal dishes. Each plate told a story, from childhood memories to local traditions, reimagined with creativity and heart. Massive thanks to the whole team for this incredible experience. A must in Cebu.

Thank you for the lovely dinner! 🥰 The dining experience was fun and insightful; learned a lot about Cebuano culture from every dish. The flavors were bold, the presentation was stunning, and the service = topnotch. We left feeling full, happy, and grateful for the Sialo experience! PS. Please send our regards to the head chef’s dogs, we wanted to pet them so badly! 😂💖

We had the pleasure of dining at Sialo last night to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. We had the 13 course meal (Hak-ab) with the theme of Handurawan. What stood out for us was how Chef Ron used local ingredients to create unique and delicious dishes which were beautifully presented. It was a delightful multi sensory experience! Chef Ron, along with Racquel and Marvi, explained how each dish was meticulously made and how it can be best enjoyed. Would highly recommend this place and if possible, a must visit when in Cebu! Thank you, Chef Ron and your team, for a memorable dining experience! More power to you guys!
