Great aray of Filipino seafood dishes. They also serve meat dishes. Easy to find in thee heart of Cebu City and all the taxi drivers know where it is. It gets quite full so be early if you are eating lunch or dinner. Better to eat as a group because you will definitely want to order many dishes to sample... More

Cowrie cove in Shangri-la Mactan has the best bar with a magnificent ocean view, avail their happy hour drinks from 5 to 7pm

(I say only 'Very Good' as we did not order any food, so can't comment on it.) After a whole day spent on an Islands Banca Boat trip, we went to the Shangri-La to get some cash from their cash-point machine. (3 adults + 2 teenagers.) As it was early evening, the hotel let us go to the Cowrie Cove... More

Cowrie Cove is a restaurant inside the Shangri-la Mactan Hotel in Cebu. We went there to have a romantice dinner by the beach. It is pricey of course since it's a 5-start hotel restaurant. It's open from 6PM (sunset) to 10pm and accommodates both smoking and non-smoking customers. Pros: It's just 15minutes away from Mactan Int'l Airport. The place is... More

The place is split into 2 areas. You have the bar and you have the restaurant. Both have music being played, its the Cafe Del Mar beach type music which we enjoy. If you don't then be warned Its in the Shangrila Hotel (where we are staying) which means the staff are excellent. The food is expensive compared to local... More

DJ spinning tunes, a small bar area, view over the water and a mix of dining rooms makes the Cowrie Cove a fun place to sit, sip a drink, eat bar food and watch people. I wouldn't recommend it for fine dining; it's more a beach bar. My husband and I sat at the bar, chatted with the friendly and... More

Cebu has temperate climate and sitting out in the open in the late evening for dinner is just lovely. The sea breeze, the sea....Our table overlooks the 'cove' and we sported lionfish as we dine. Food is on the average. The seafood is very fresh. Simple menu, nothing to rave about. It's pricey and service is okay. Overall, we have... More

If you don't mind cold soup because the sound of the sea relaxes you... Cowrie cove should be your choice. If you don't mind pricey but "not worth the long wait food" because it comes with stars at night, Cowrie Cove should be your choice. The seafood is fresh at least even if you have to wait for close to... More
