The Gustavian, a local favorite

There’s a blog that says one would know a city has achieved global hub status when even the most uncommon of international cuisines is adopted wholeheartedly by both natives and expats alike... that explains the success of The Gustavian in Cebu.

An upscale restaurant and delicatessen that specializes in Baltic, Scandinavian food and French style cooking, The Gustavian is the inspiration of Chef Robert Lilja a renowned master Chef and Saucier who was previously named as the No. 1 in customer satisfaction for the Marriott Hotel chain and was one of their star chefs. Chef Robert has risen through the ranks at some of the finest restaurants in Europe.

Lhuillier owned, you may be unaware that The Gustavian now isn’t as expensive as it used to be, food prices now appeal to ordinary mall goers in Ayala, Marina and Paseo Saturnino in Cebu. 

For more adventurous palates, the restaurant has this eat-all you-can lunch and dinner buffets at only Php 490 – 500 which are at par with those offered by hotels.

The Gustavian bakes its own bread. You can also find jams and chocolates from Switzerland and Belgium. For balikbayans who hate lugging all the pasalubong, maybe they could purchase some items here.
 
Now with its own farm, this Euro restaurant caters to expats, tourists who are homesick and locals. 

The Gustavian recently opened branches in Metro Manila.
