Much has been said about Chef Andy Hunziker and his food. He started out a small garden grill restaurant in Cebu City back in the late 80s and gained quite the local following.

I’ve heard friends say that his dishes were worth the trip to its location at Senor Sto. Nino Drive, Mangnao, so we decided to check it out ourselves.

Today, the lechon belly experience is no longer limited to Cebu; Dumaguetenos can now enjoy pork prepared in the Queen City of the South’s signature style.
