Sometimes, the best dining experiences aren’t found inside fancy restaurants but in open-air food hubs where the sea breeze sets the mood. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Pier 88 in Liloan, Cebu — a laid-back destination where you can enjoy affordable food, seaside views, and a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for families, barkadas, and casual weekend hangouts.

We dropped by on a sunny afternoon, and it turned out to be one of those simple but memorable foodtrips that remind you why Cebu is such a fun place to live in.

  5. Easy Accessibility – Located in Liloan, Cebu, it’s a good stopover if you’re traveling north or just looking for a chill dining spot near the city.

What We Ordered 🍴

Of course, we didn’t come here just for the view — the food deserves the spotlight too! Here’s what made it to our table:

  • Tempura – Crispy and golden, best paired with the classic sweet-and-spicy sauce.

  • Hotdog with Puso – A true Cebuano combo; simple, filling, and nostalgic.

  • Siomai & Ngohiong – Street food staples that never fail, especially with chili sauce.

  • Takoyaki – Soft, savory, and topped with mayo and bonito flakes for that Japanese street flair.

  • Puto Bongbong – A sweet Filipino treat that added a festive touch to our casual dinner.

For drinks, we went with two refreshing choices:

  • Ice-Cold Pineapple Juice 🍍 – Sweet, tangy, and perfect for the humid Cebu weather.

  • Spanish Latte Coffee ☕ – Surprisingly smooth and flavorful, giving us that café-like experience by the sea.

Everything was tasty, budget-friendly, and satisfying — sulit kaayo for a quick foodtrip!

The Pier 88 Vibe 🌤️

What we loved most about Pier 88 is the community feel. Families were eating together, groups of friends were laughing over food, and couples were sharing snacks while enjoying the view.

It’s not pretentious, not expensive, just good food and good vibes by the sea. The setup feels like a cross between a food park and a seaside tambayan, which makes it extra appealing if you want something different from the usual mall dining.
