Open Food Stalls (Larsian, Sutukil, Talisay City Grill)

Open Food Stalls offer a wide variety of dishes, either grilled, roasted or broiled.  What distinguish these types of diners are their wide open spaces, variety of stalls, and delightful mix of people from different social strata.

Open Food Stalls are also the eatery of choice for those on a tight budget, or those who simply want to binge on cheap, scrumptious Cebuano dishes.

The New Larsian
Operating Hours: 24 hours (some food stalls)

The New Larsian has a sight, smell and buzz that is distinctly all its own.  To those outside the loop, Larsian is actually a Cebuano haven of grilled food.  Whether you crave for chicken, pork, squid or fish, Larsian has it all for you.

Larsian – the NEW Larsian – is a relatively crowded open space with uniform red tables and stalls.  A neutral ground loved by Cebuanos from all walks of life, Larsian offers a unique dining experience that makes you think of cheery barbeque dinners with your boisterous relatives and friends.

Our advice – do not leave Cebu without trying the Larsian experience.  Trust us.

Talisay City Grill - Tabunok
Operating Hours: late afternoon to early dawn
Location: Central Square Market, Lawaan, Talisay City

You sure would not want to miss this busy little food place.  With its unique charm and vivacious appeal, Talisay City Grill offers a wide spectrum of dishes.  Fish, squid, pork or chicken, they have the perfect tasty meal – hot off the grill, of course.  As it is near a badminton court, weary players would often flock to this place after a strenuous match.  After a filling meal, you can dawdle at the nearby market area where you can find fresh meat, fish and vegetables that you can take home.

SuTuKil (Sugba Tuwa Kilaw) Lapu-Lapu
Operating Hours: 24 hours
Location: Punta Engano Road, Lapu-Lapu, Cebu 6015 (Near the Mactan Shrine)

When you are around the Lapu-Lapu or Mactan area, you definitely must drop by Sutukil.  A quaint little seafood place, Sutukil attracts both tourists and locals alike with its cozy ambiance (it is by the shore, after all) and mouth-watering dishes (prepared just the way you like it).  Sutukil actually implies your choice of grilled, broth or raw dishes.  Choose from among a bevy of fresh fish, prawns, crabs, shells, lobsters and seaweeds.

This place is usually packed – especially during mealtime.  So better hoist up your gears and get there early to beat the rush.
