"oooh la la" One of he made up french expressions I know. French food is a new arena for me..It…read morestarted trying macarons and now its moved on to French food. La maison is located in Lahug and has a pleasant, cozy, experience..its like your visiting someone's house. The decor which has hints of chinese makes me think of the phrase "French Shanghai." They do offer set menus at a reasonable price if your not sure what to get. A notable feature is there use of ipads as menus and the staff are friendly enough to assist you in making choices. Fortunately the menu does have pictures and descriptions to decide. On this first visit, I decided to order the pink peppered duck and a chocolate dessert. Again, I'm not an expert but it did taste delicious. I was told that the duck itself came from France so upon hearing that, I decided to order it. The duck was cooked well and to my satisfaction. The chocolate dessert was reminiscent of a warm brownie but it also was good. They serve lunch and dinner at certain time frames but offer drinks and dessert throughout the whole day. A pleasant and tasty place to unwind and enjoy a good meal. Take note they advise making reservations if you decide to attend for dinner. The seating capacity is not that big which makes for a cozy experience.

This is one of the nicest restaurants in Cebu. Very good good, nice setting and a bit out of town…read moreso you don't choke on Cebu pollution. Our Belgian foodie friend said this is not great French food, but for a pedestrian eater it was excellent. True to french style, the waiters were a bit snooty but we enjoyed the meal and would return.

Stayed at The Henry for 2 nights last month and this is the restaurant inside the hotel…read more Absolutely 5 stars all the way! But just a little background, I am into art and architecture so this review is largely influenced by that. Decor - Just like the hotel, the restaurant is downright artsy and eclectic, but yet not overwhelming. There is a perfect balance of whimsy and structure. Ambience - Ate very late dinner (think 11:30 pm), and two days of breakfast buffets that came with my reservations. Place was only 15% filled, so not crowded at all. I actually enjoyed the somewhat empty and silent feel. Menu - They have a good mix of appetizers, soup, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, main course, and dessert. I personally felt the pricing was adequate, with most items in the 300+ peso range, with the exception of some main courses. Food - Tried the adobo flakes, calamari, and surprise, surprise - the seafood pasta... (hint - Almost everywhere I've traveled to, seafood pasta is my go-to). ALL WERE DELICIOUS!!! For the breakfast, the selection consisted of typical Filipino full breakfast items, which honestly, I wanted and craved for: Fried garlic rice, corned beef, eggs, somekind of pasta, sausage (my kids ate and didn't like it), and my favorite - fried bangus. They had the typical breads and a waffle maker, fruit, and so on. Still enjoyed it. Service - They are friendly, and they checked to see how we were doing - something not normal in most restaurants in the PI. If I wasn't pressed for time, I wouldn't have mind eating here over and over again, but I was. However, I would love to come back to The Henry and definitely eat at Rica's again! It's probably one of the most enjoyable places I've ever been to!

Staying at The Henry and this being the restaurant downstairs meant that I ate here a few times…read moreduring my stay. That and the fact that we are greedy folk who order more than what 2 people ordinarily would eat in a single seating means that I've had a good range of the menu. They start every meal with these long crackers and an addictive salsa. Not sure how chopped tomato, capsicum (peppers) and onion with olive oil can taste so good. Notable mentions must go to their forty chicken - very small but delicious chicken cooked with 40 cloves of garlic and butter. Oreo crepe and their frozen layered dessert were also very nice. All pastas ordered were al dente and very garlicky. You just like garlic if you go to Philippines! Attentive service, coffees were not bad, wines were cheap at 150 peso per glass. And of course, their interesting decor.

French elegance in the Philippines [CEBU CITY Philippines]…read more Wow! a slice of Parisian experience in the Philippines! This is a French-themed restaurant and wine tasting room located in the heart of Cebu City.... Btw, the name has changed to La Parisienne Sky. I will attempt to update Yelp. The road is steep heading to Tops Lookout. There is an entrance fee of PHP 200/person (around $3.50) which can be applied to your purchase in the restaurant. Inside is very classy, modern and posh Paris-themed establishment. Even the servers were dressed in bistro server uniforms. We ordered some pastries and cheese. Some of us went for the gelato. So many flavors to choose from. Across the gelato station is the wine tasting room. We sat under their outdoor covered patio. We enjoyed the beautiful views and the nice breeze. Nice place to visit for anyone looking for something different, for those looking for a taste of French elegance in the Philippines it's worth visiting. Btw, the gelato was delicious! Oh la la la...
