    Mga suki sa lami’g pagkaon, naa koy chika nga makapagana gyud sa inyong tastebuds —Gordon Ramsay is coming to Cebu!! Naka-try ko sa Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill sa Newport World Resorts sa Manila, ug ambot lang—murag giluto ko'g balik sa kalipay. Ang concept sa resto? Classic British comfort food. Dili lang siya pa-bongga nga fine dining, pero feel-good, hearty meals nga gipadako ni Chef Gordon mismo. Lami kaayo, bai!

     Mga Appetizer Pa Lang, Murag Main Dish Na!

    • Crispy Crab Cake and Caviar – sosyal pero crispy, fresh kaayo.

    • Aged Steak Tartare – for the adventurous palate, raw pero flavorful!

    • Classic Caesar Salad – dili lang ni ordinaryong Caesar, perfectly dressed!

    • Gordon Ramsay Fish and Chips – crispy outside, flaky inside. Grabe ka legit British feels.

    Ang Bida Gyud: Gordon's Signature Beef Wellington

    Bai, kung wala pa ka kasuway ani, kinahanglan gyud nimo tilawan. Soft, juicy ang beef, naa sa flaky nga pastry—this is what you see sa iyang shows, unya sa atubangan na nimo. Di lang ni pagkaon, experience ni siya.

     More Mains & Sides

    • Bar and Grill Burger – juicy, grilled to perfection.

    • Charcoal-Grilled Sweetcorn – smoky with just the right sweetness.

    • Spice Roasted Pumpkin – sweet and savory balance, perfect pang-side!

    Dessert Time, Bai!

    • Caramelized Apple Tart Tatin – sweet, tangy, buttery. Sulit!

    • Sticky Toffee Pudding – super moist and heavenly. I swear, makaiyak sa kalami.


    Coming Soon to Cebu: Mactan Newtown, Represent!

    Maong kabalo mo sa pinakalingaw? Gordon Ramsay is coming to Cebu! 

    Sa end of June or early July 2025, duha ka bag-ong restos ang mu-open sa The Mactan Newtown:

    1. Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips – Crispy, golden fish filets with thick-cut fries. British classic!

    2. Street Burger by Gordon Ramsay – Angus beef burgers, mouthwatering sauces, ug sure ko, mabusog gyud ka.

    First time pa ni sa tibuok Pilipinas nga mu-open ni nga mga branches, ug diri pa gyud sa Lapu-Lapu. Proud kaayo ko as a Cebuano!

    If gusto mo og food trip nga lahi ra, one that’s world-class pero accessible, sugdi sa Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill sa Manila or pag-andam na para sa opening sa Mactan. Let’s show Gordon what real Cebuano foodies are made of. Ayaw ninyo ni palabi og pa-labay, bai!

    Kitakits ta sa Mactan Newtown this mid-2025!

    TGI Fridays is opening their 3rd Cebu branch in Island Central Mall Mactan; marking the resto as a convenient food spot for different occasions and by passengers dining out before departure or after their arrival.


    You can contact TGIFridays - Island Central Mactan at TEl. 234-0264
    The new TGI Fridays branch is located on the second floor of Island Central Mall Mactan, a speedy two-minute ride from airport terminals 1 & 2. The resto’s proximity to the airport, as well as souvenir shops, marks it as a practical stop for guests that have just arrived in Cebu. TGI Fridays Mactan can also be a last-minute meal fix for passengers who are in a rush but still want to enjoy the signature dishes that TGI Fridays is known for.




    A trip to a TGI Fridays branch wouldn’t be complete without trying their classic chicken fingers—hand-battered chicken tenders paired with a hefty helping of crispy seasoned fries and honey mustard dressing. Patrons also have an affinity for the outrageously tender Friday’s Country Ribs and Cajun Shrimp and Chicken Pasta. The ribs are smothered in Friday’s signature glaze which gives it a satisfyingly sweet and savory flavor. TGI Fridays also have a remarkable dessert menu. The best-selling Oreo Madness dessert is perfect for passengers in need of a sugar rush. As a special treat, TGI Fridays Mactan is celebrating the new branch with a 50% discount on any of their burgers on top of a minimum purchase of Php1,000 on food and drinks, valid until June 30, 2019.




    Your favorite American diner is now easier to come by with TGI Fridays new Mactan branch. TGI Fridays Mactan is the 3rd branch in Cebu and the newest addition to a total of 26 TGI Fridays stores in the country.




    For more information, visit their website at www.fridays.com.ph or follow them on their socials at TGI Fridays Philippines (Facebook) and @tgifridays (Instagram).
