We came to Cebu City last week to celebrate our wedding anniversary and was billeted at Shangrila Mactan Resort hotel. Since we arrived almost lunchtime, we asked our driver what resto he can recommend that is near our hotel.
He brought us here at Manna STK.
We ordered Garlic shrimps, Grilled Tanguige, garlic fried rice and Eggplant Ensalada
All dishes were cooked fresh and served in about under 20 minutes.
So love all the dishes, especially the Grilled tanguigue- so sweet and tender with and browned on all sides. Shrimp was rightly cooked and juicy.
The waitress was very accommodating polite and knew how to describe the dish.
2 thumbs up!

Manna STK is similar to D'Talipapa in Boracay which was one of our favorite eats. They have a display case of seafood which is prepared to your liking.
We chose the garlic butter shrimp and a grilled fish with garlic rice for lunch and were directed to choose a table.
Manna STK offers two dining areas. The open air upstairs dining room had a view of the waterway but we opted to sit in the fully air conditioned room downstairs.
During our short wait for lunch, I walked around and read a bit about the city's history. Lapu Lapu had been named after the great warrior who despite having inferior weapons had killed and vanquished the Spaniards including Magellan.
There was also an explanation of the province's unique rice prep. We had been served puso during our three island tour so it was nice to gain an understanding and appreciation of how it came to be.
Lunch arrived piecemeal as each dish was ready. Our plate of garlic butter shrimp was perfectly cooked and not too greasy. The meat of the grilled whole fish was moist and flaky and easy to scrape from the bone. The food was rustic and delicious but by American standards was inexpensive. Our entire seafood meal with beers and water cost the financial equivalent of $38!
Good fresh seafood, but a bit pricey. The staffs are accomodating and attentive. The place is hard to find, but thankfully there are bystanders around the shrine that will lead you to this place.
I just wish there’ll be service water. This is my first time to eat with no drinking water to serve for free in a resto
