Cebu City Restaurants › Filipino & Lechon › Matias

Matias

Mid-table and honest about it: #50 on TripAdvisor's ranked list, 4.0/5 from 112 reviews. The slice we track is filtered to 4★ and above, so mid-table there is a solid restaurant, not a bad one. Matias carries no Google rating and no MICHELIN entry here — the travelers are the only jury, and they have seen enough of it to be worth listening to. TripAdvisor measures it 2.9 miles out from the centre — far enough that you are committing to the journey, not just the meal.
