At last, we were able to eat here earlier today. We ordered beef burger steak, pork steak, fried chicken and aglio olio, and we loved it so much. It’s quite expensive though but it’s worth it. Also, the food serving can be shared for two, and they serve the food really quick. I will definitely dine here again.

Good service. Fast food, especially if you're the only one there. The place can fill up at times, so that's a good sign. They also play Christian music in the background for those interested.

This place is awesome!!! We were so lucky to be able to try this when we went to Cebu. Food was great. Service was fast. Staff were friendly. We tried the bbq spicy pata and the creamy seafood pasta. Both food were delicious! The ambiance of the place has a homey feel and it added to the beautiful experience of eating here :)

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the dishes and the efficiency of the service! Everything tasted great; served under 20 minutes! The Korean owner, Mr Um, personally manages the resto himself and is a nice host!

Occasionally, tiny, secluded places unexpectedly yield great dining experiences. Chef's Bistro, a little-known restaurant in Masiwa, Marigondon, a far-flung suburb of Lapulapu City, is one such prized discovery. Evading the traffic & soaked streets caused by incessant rains in the region recently, we decided to stay put in Mactan last night and began our first ever visit to this 2-year old hangout. 

Upon our arrival, owner Eric Um, Seoul native & former Executive Sous Chef of Imperial Palace Waterpark Resort (now JPark Island Resort) warmly welcomed us at the door. Step inside and the simplicity of the interiors immediately hit you. Clean & tidy, the modest decor radiates an intimate, homey atmosphere.

While the ambiance was somewhat low-key, the food aptly displayed a sense of maturity. This came as no surprise as Chef Eric, armed with his extensive hotel experience & kitchen mastery, proudly showcased his passion & ambition through his palatable creations.

In fluent English & halting Cebuano, he ably eased us into our table and offered his thoughts on which dishes to order. Two complimentary bowls of kimchi soon arrived as our appetizers.

A few impressions on our orders:

• Pork Steak (Php 295) and Chicken Steak (Php 285) - a tad crispy on the outside yet all tender underneath, fried pork & chicken meat never tasted this good. Interestingly, what sealed the deal for me was the gravy. Unique, smooth & creamy, I couldn't resist asking Chef Eric what made it so special. No secret, actually. It was simply mushroom sauce infused with a dose of red wine. All of us agreed that both steaks deserve "Dish of the Evening" honors.

• Cheese Pizza (Php 410) and Hawaiian Pizza (Php 430) - hot, cheesy, crunchy, good-tasting thin-crust doughs. A bit pricey for such moderately-sized, sparsely-topped pizzas. Nothing exceptional on their take on this popular Italian staple.

• Carbonara (Php 360) - buttery, creamy al dente pasta served with toasted garlic bread, this was another outstanding recipe. My son totally wiped his plate clean!

The pricing was a bit steep but their large serving sizes fully made up for it. The free Wi-Fi was decently fast, so were the cooking time and service. Everything we've ordered was served in just under 15 minutes.

I highly recommend this place. If you happen to be in the Marigondon area, do check out Chef's Bistro and sample Chef Eric's impressive menu.

The place was cozy. It's just a small bistro and it was neatly decorated. The servers were friendly and the owner talks to the costumer which i seldom experience. The food was not your typical american or italian taste, it's like american/italian infused with a korean twist since the chef/ owner is a korean. But nonetheless, the food was great. The price is in between cheap and expensive. But worth it.

We celebrated my Mom's birthday during Chef's Bistro's soft opening sometime in March this year. The food servers were so pleasant to us and even allowing us to bring in my mom's birthday cake without any corkage fee. I love the theme of the bistro. The little figurines, the wooden chairs and tables are comfortable. Though I am not so satisfied with their Pochero but somehow, I love their Bulgogi.

We went to Chef's Bistro for a birthday dinner and the place was really pleasant. It had a cozy homey feel to it. We ordered a few items for variety.

The Margharita Pizza was not that good. The dough felt undercook. The toppings were not that great too. I expected basil leaves and good mozzarella cheese.

The Angus Beef dish was a bit expensive considering the size. The taste was good too, I felt cheated somehow. The sides were good too, corn and potato wedges.

The BBQ Chili Pata was really good. Crunchy, sweet and spicy pork tenders. I am loving their sides, for this dish they served it with fries. Really good, the highlight of the night.

Pomodoro Tomato which is really good too. It had a sour taste to it and not the usual sweet pasta dishes other places serve.

Unfortunately, the Chef Bistro's Salad was gone before I had the chance to eat some. I would assume it was good.

The place is just nearby the highway and easy to locate. I recommend Chef's Bistro for anyone who wanted to catch up with friends and even dine with your family after a long day at work or after mass. Head out to Chef's Bistro and try them.
