Cebu lechon is truly something else. In the region, many restaurants have become destinations in themselves as today, no trip here is ever complete without stopping over at your favorite Cebu lechon restaurant.

Established in 1982, Golden Cowrie is an upscale restaurant designed to highlight authentic Cebuano flavors. It is a concept by Cebu Golden Restaurant Inc., which also established the famous Hukad. While Hukad focuses on a simple, no-frills Filipino menu, Golden Cowrie offers both classic and innovative takes on Filipino cuisine.

Fun Fact: “Golden” marks the family's 50th year in business, and “Cowrie” is a tribute to one of the prized shells in the Philippines.
