I'm glad my hubby introduced me to Golden Cowrie Restaurant. I would say this place is perfect for those who really crave for a truly gastronomic experience. It is really a feast and a great value for money! This outlet has rapidly gained popularity as it offers a superb selection of delectable choices of Filipino culinary delights.
The restaurant décor might be described as 'native chic". It is designed on a traditional Filipino theme. The ambiance of this place is very nice and warm. Inside is airconditioned with alfresco setting.

We experienced dining pleasure and while savoring appetizing dishes like baked scallops, sinigang na baboy (pork in sour broth), sisig and inihaw na isda (grilled fish).

And what's more interesting rice is served limitless. You just have to call and ask for a scoop of rice of the lady servers carrying around a "cross-body sling bucket" filled with rice. Very unique!

Iced Tea and Mango juice quaff our thirst.
All in all, we paid the bill not more than Php 600.00.
Just a reminder... loads of locals, office workers and professionals come here for a hearty meal.
We will always make Golden Cowrie a regular place to eat when we are in Cebu City. Highly Recommended!
