Why it matters
Why CnT Lechon, Guadalupe is worth your time
A lechon meal tells you something about Cebu that churches and forts cannot: how the city feasts. CnT is one of the names that local guides keep returning to, and it serves the dish in several forms rather than only as a slab of roast meat.
For Indian travellers it is an honest case of knowing what is on offer. There is no vegetarian menu mentioned in any source, so use CnT as a meal for the meat-eaters in the group and arrange food for the others in advance.

How to experience it
CnT's menu goes beyond roast pig. The guide we opened lists lechon sweet and sour, lechon sinigang, sisig and lumpia, along with crispy skin, belly ribs, head meat and feet, plus dinuguan, atchara and salted egg.
For a first visit, ask for the plain roast meat and a bowl of sinigang, the sour soup, which is gentler than the fried dishes and easier for older stomachs. The pickled papaya known as atchara cuts through the richness.
The address is on V. Rama Avenue in Guadalupe, a residential and commercial area away from the main sightseeing sites, so budget travel time by taxi. Another guide reports locals treating CnT as the benchmark for lechon, though it does not say why, so take that as local reputation rather than a ranking.
Plan with confidence

- Confirm which branch you are going to
