Lively Filipino music, rich and boisterous laughter and the clanging of utensils were in perfect harmony during the blessing and grand opening of Lantaw Native Restaurant Dumaguete. It seemed like one giant feast that brought together families from all over the city. And as the night progressed and the moon steadily lit the restaurant’s skyline, the crowd excited to taste the savory native delicacies unique to this new restaurant just kept getting bigger and bigger.
If you’re from Dumaguete or spend a lot of time in the city, you’re bound to know about Gabby’s Bistro. Their flagship restaurant, although located in a primarily residential area quite far from the city proper, is the go-to place of many foodies. It is everywhere on social media. The bistro is modern and fun, and the food, a consistent homerun. It has been dubbed as one of the places to be when visiting the city and with good reason.
There is a science to the saying “Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder”. Before, it was believed that one’s idea of beauty stemmed from his genetic make up. Recently it has been found that it’s our individual life experiences that lead us to find one face more attractive than another. Such holds true with art, music, and even photography. It’s all about how you perceive it.
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. Years later, the chef made his way to a new home here in Dumaguete City. The space is called Andy’s Golden Grill, which has much of his dishes from his old menu and a few new ones as well. 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.
