If you’re looking for authentic Cebuano food that will top up your Cebu experience, look no further. Isla Sugbu Seafood City is the place for you!

Here, you are guaranteed to be served with just the freshest seafood in the metropolis. This restaurant is known for its Sutukil, a Visayan culinary term pertaining to a set of seafood-based dishes cooked in three different ways, namely sugba (grill), tuwa (stew), and kilaw (eat raw). 

Isla Sugbu Seafood City does not just bear the name “seafood city” for nothing. It is famous for its Paluto-All-You-Can (paluto, meaning have someone else cook for you) that you handpick from an abundance of sea products, and get firsthand taste of Filipino cooking in its purest form.

Choose from an impressive array of seafood dishes. These include live and frozen Lapu-Lapu (Grouper), Pampano (Pomfret), Tanigue (Spanish Mackerel), Maya-Maya (Red Snapper), and Katambak (Sea Bream).
