The Pig and Palm opened with quiet elegance in Cebu. Much like Chef Jason Atherton’s restaurants in other key cities, it has a chill vibe, coupled with an extensive cocktail list, and seasonal menu.

WOOD PANELLED WALLS and repurposed brick

walls dominate Cebu’s top restaurant, Pig and Palm. Tucked in a the far corner of an office building at Cebu Business Park, this bistro restaurant is Michelin chef Jason Atherton’s

nod to his wife’s Cebuano roots. In fact, this is his only restaurant not located in a key capital city. True to his brand, like the Social in Hong Kong, Pig and Palm prides itself with its bar, featuring an extensive cocktail list Our four-course meal was a study in culinary craftsmanship. A dish of

broccoli, crispy egg, walnut, and gorgonzola cheese was just the right amount of fresh, creamy, crunchy, and quirky for an appetizer. The two main dishes were flavor powerhouses: one featured honey roast duck breast and potato dauphinoise with a rich cranberry sauce, while the other featured poached red grouper with a gruyere crust and balsamic caviar layered on a verdant carpet of parsley what with its pleasantly surprising use of a local grain made like risotto. Dessert was a triumphant banoffee soufflé with

dark chocolate ice cream. The flavors were exquisitely balanced. Every item demanded attention. The food invites you to savor every bite and ponder every tantalizing hint of flavor.

The way we’re writing in superlatives is indicative of how Pig and Palm exults and delights in their craft. What you find inside the restaurant isn’t just a meal, it’s a celebration.
