It's THIRSTday after all! Thirsty of The Bistro Group's all-time favorites. Together with other Cebu Bloggers and Content Creators and Cebu Media, we had a gastronomic afternoon in all of The Bistro Group's Cebu Restaurants highlighting TGI Fridays, Italianni's, and Watami in Ayala Center Cebu while ending the food crawl with a sumptuous dinner at Denny's in Robinsons Galleria Cebu.

The Bistro Group, one of the Philippines’ most progressive restaurant chains that popularized the casual dining concept with the entry of TGIFridays in the country over 25 years ago, is present in several locations in Cebu that provide guests more dining options and choices – from burgers, pasta, pizzas, all-time breakfast to dim sum and noodles.  Great food, top-notch service, and a warm and welcoming vibe- these are the Bistro Group’s trademarks that make casual dining a hit among food lovers of all ages.

TGI Fridays 

American-style food, legendary drinks, genuine personalized service, bartenders who rock, a highly-charged vibe, and infectious energy - that sums up the TGIFridays experience.

Indeed,  “It’s always Friday at TGIFridays!”

There is a great selection of mouth-watering dishes with Fridays Signature Ribs taking the lead.  Fall-off-the- bone pork ribs smothered in original Fridays whiskey glaze and served with corn and crispy fries- they are a delight to eat.  Also, order servings of all-time favorites such as Fried Mozzarella,  Nachos, Burgers, Pizzas and more.  Pair them with a drink or two from the restaurant’s wide beverage menu of premium cocktails, bottomless mojitos! and an assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.  Enjoy a 30% discount on the Happy Hour promo happening daily from2pm to 7pm.
