One of the best ways to appreciate a new city is through your stomach. You have to eat like a local and experience some of the city’s best restaurants. Whether you’re visiting Cebu for the first time or returning to explore more, a visit to the rooftop restaurant Top of Cebu will give you a taste of delectable dishes with a side of stunning views.
Top of Cebu Restaurant
Nestled 2,000 feet above sea level, Top of Cebu is an outdoor restaurant in the mountains of Busay, Cebu. It gives guests a unique dining experience by providing an unobstructed panoramic view of the city, so make sure to get the best seats in the house.

But the best time to dine at Top is when the day is about to end. You can watch the sunset by the railing and the magic starts once you lose light. Several strings of lights are hung just above the dining space, twinkling in the night just like the city’s lights from below. It’s a marvelous sight to see and a romantic experience, especially for couples. On nights with clear skies, you might even catch stars. They also have Acoustic Nights to complete the romantic dining experience.
It also gets chilly at night so don’t forget to bring a jacket.
The Food
Top of Cebu is owned by Pages Group of Companies, which is a reputable company in the dining business that also owns other local restaurants such as Lantaw, House of Lechon, and Shaka. This outdoor restaurant serves a variety of both Pinoy and international cuisine, which every palate would enjoy.
