Description

Laguna…it’s a province in the south of Metro Manila. But it’s also a place within the City of Cebu. But then again, it’s also the name of a restaurant in Cebu.
We found the Laguna Garden Cafe while we were walking around Ayala Center Cebu. It was also one of the places mentioned by my father when he learned we were going to Cebu, and so we decided to try it.

They serve typical Filipino fare which Pinoys, where ever they are, will be familiar with, such as Binagoongan, Embotido, Adobo, etc. Their menu says “nokos” though, instead of “pusit”, to remind you that yes, you are very much in Cebu.

The interior was clean, bright, large and airy. It was actually inviting, and most importantly, the space did not feel constricted. You can get up from your chair without fear of hitting someone behind you, and there’s enough space on the table for your plates and a reasonable amount of ordered food. By now most of us are probably so used to having to press our chests to the table when someone passes by behind us, and having to arrange our food and plates in a creative way, to make them fit on a small table. Most common restaurants, just like budget airlines, try to squeeze in as much people as possible in a given amount of space, and comfort is reduced to an afterthought. Not in Laguna Garden Cafe though…there was space galore there
