The Gustavian

There's one thing they got right in The Gustavian: Scandinavians know how to set a good table; although Scandinavian cooking prowess isn't exactly elevated to celebrity levels, largely due to their perception of their cuisine in humble terms. That is, pure and simple cooking. We have them to thank for cured salmon, whale steaks, the real "hamburger," and herring salad. Not that we'll dine from trenchers like the Vikings did, but one is certainly made aware of a distant European past.

That's exactly what we find at The Gustavian---or at any of their branches across Cebu City---great food and a fabulous space to dine in.
