Noted it hadn't been put on Yelp yet, but it deserves it so here it is! We got single portion Paella which takes a while to make, but is worth the wait! Enjoyed local craft beers and the house sangria which were top notch, and got to appreciate appetizers (garlic soup and chicken croquettes) and dessert (caramel flan) on either side of the main meal--all delish. The design and execution of this place is also among the best we've seen in our restaurant thing adventures here in Cebu, we highly recommend this place!

This is a quaint little place whose menu revolves around their three main paella dishes - negra,…read morevalenciana, and lechon. Paella Negra is all about its squid component, hence the black color while the lechon version, as the name suggests, highlights the Cebuano favorite as it's center. The valenciana, on the other hand, has mixed seafood in it. So far, I have tried paella negra and valenciana and both are so damn good. Although I forgot to note the price of each, valenciana is the most expensive of the three varieties, at P148 for the solo meal (no drinks). If you're with a group, they also have a choice of going for a bigger serving than a solo as you could go for the bigger platter that is good for 2-3 persons or the biggest, which is good for 4-5 persons. As there is not much on the menu other than these paella dishes and some sides, it's very nice of them to allow food to be brought in from outside at no extra charge and no fuss. I was with a friend who didn't feel like having paella at that time so he ended up buying a takeout from a nearby restaurant and eating it with me at the Hala Paella. So far, my experience with their dishes has been amazing and I'll definitely go back again and again. On a side note, they used to have a stall at the Sugbo Mercado in IT Park but I haven't seen them there this week.

First impressions, you get that cozy hole in the wall feel since its basically a kiosk with walls…read more There is indoor and outdoor seating. You walk in and they have Spanish music playing and a display of the available paella combjnations. The display looks great ans decor is festive. I went with the chicken and chorizo paella, lengua, and churros for dessert. The flavors are there for the paella, the lengua gravy tasted commonplace borderline like jollibee gravy. the churros were good though slightly undercooked imho, but at least did not taste greasy or soaked in oil. the chocolate dip was really good and i would order everything again but maybe try the different paellas.

I indulged since I was on vacation and saw it was michelin bib gourmand recognized by having a lychee martini (fantastic!), roasted carrots, octopus, gnocchi, pork belly entree, and the mango soufflé for dessert. All the food was splendid and I was surprised at how filling most of them were. My only caveat was that the octopus could have been cooked a bit more to be softer to bite into. The restrooms are within the office building around the corner, so not in the restaurant as an fyi. Excellent service all around.
