More than what I've expected. The meat is tasty and juicy. Loved that they actually serve the "katas" or the lechon juice. I specially liked the spicy variant. I wanted to come back to Cebu sooner to have this again.
I think the oversized crowd gave the servers a hard time making them a bit panicky.. But all is good! Good food, good ambiance, very homey and chill.. Not the Carcar lechon you can expect but close!
A must visit when you’re in Cebu. Would always come here for some great and tasty lechon from Carcar, but make sure to drop by during delivery times for fresh lechon. Also recommend the ginabot, crispy and generous serving. Monggo soup was good as well.
What you must order: Lechon of course 😀 kinilaw fiesta with pork and seafood, mongo soup (my comfort food) and clam soup with corn. Don't forget to add a zest of calamansi!

No visit to Cebu is ever complete without sampling (and dare I say gorging) on their lechon! And during my visit in Cebu in partnership with Citadines Cebu, we tried a new contender in the lechon playing field: House of Lechon.
Crispy skin, tender meat infused in lemongrass and a mix of aromatics make up this tasty pork belly. And on its own, the meat is flavorful and salted jist right. But it's also best enjoyed with some vinegar or their special sauce! A rare treat, especially for Cebu Lechon, the sauce is made with pork drippings that really enhance the meatiness of the dish. House of Lechon offers two options— original or spicy— but I like the original better. Worried about the heat? Don't be! The spiciness of the spicy lechon was only skin level, so anyone can handle it.
Other dishes served:
✔️ Bicol Express (₱140): the Cebuano term for Gising-gising. Features coconut milk (Gata) and beans with a mild spiciness from green chili.
✔️ Garlic Squid Ball (₱140): fried balls cooked in garlic and margarine
✔️ Ngohiong (₱100): deep-fried rolls filled with heart of palm, meat and veggies.
✔️ Baked Scallops (₱220): little bites of scallops cooked in margarine and cheese. Very buttery and creamy!
✔️ Ice Candy: a blast from the past! These cold popsicles come in creamy mango, buko or tsokolate (chocolate tablea).
By the way, their rice is served in these little pots made to look like the traditional cookware of Filipinos. How cute is that? 🥰
Love the lechon. Super crunchy and very tastly! Plus they have this sauce which happens to be the "katas" of the lechon. 😊 their staff are also very friendly. Nice ambiance too! Love it!
Great food but too pricey
Loved their lechon! Tried other Cebuano brands but theirs is the best. The lechon had the right amount of fat and flavor. The crab in gata was likewise yummy and verrrrry umami. The serving was kinda slow though, perhaps because of the weekend crowd. But still, this resto is a must visit for your dose of lechon
We were talking with our rider and he mentioned, he prefers House of Lechon over Rico's Lechon as it's not as salty. And well he was right, our Lechon was perfectly tender with skin crispy (and not as salty as others I have tried). They were using birds eye chilli as a condiment which as perfect for us.
My friend who was in PH last time and I took her to Manam but, was let down by their Sisig. I insisted her to try again this time and she loved it.
However, there can be an improvement for the service, as we had to check multiple time for our extra rice order.
