Boy Belly Cebu – Sulit Barkadahan Meals at Ayala, Seaside & Metro Ayala

-

 

When it comes to affordable yet satisfying dining in Cebu, one name has been creating a buzz everywhere — Boy Belly. What started as just another spot inside the malls has quickly turned into a go-to destination for barkadas and families looking for flavorful meals that don’t hurt the wallet. With branches in Ayala Center Cebu, SM Seaside City Cebu, and Metro Ayala (6th floor), Boy Belly has proven that great food plus great value will always win the hearts of Cebuanos.

We’ve had multiple visits already, and each experience showed us exactly why this restaurant is growing in popularity. Let us take you through our Boy Belly journey — from the long waits to the sulit meals — so you’ll know why it’s worth adding to your Cebu food trip list.

Our First Boy Belly Experience at Ayala Center Cebu 🍽️

The first time we tried Boy Belly at Ayala Center Cebu, we honestly thought it was going to be just another ordinary mall dining experience. But the moment the food landed on our table, we realized it was different. The flavors were bold, the servings were generous, and the prices were surprisingly budget-friendly.

Cebuanos are always on the lookout for sulit finds, and Boy Belly delivers exactly that. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, dining out with family, or hanging out with friends, their menu has the right mix of Filipino favorites and comfort food.

The SM Seaside Boy Belly Crowd — Worth the Wait ⏳🔥

Our second Boy Belly visit was at SM Seaside City Cebu. This time, the experience was unforgettable not only because of the food but also the sheer number of people lining up to get in. We had to wait for more than an hour just to be seated, but the crowd spoke volumes.

When a restaurant is packed with diners who are willing to wait that long, you know they’re doing something right. And true enough, once we got our table, the food once again lived up to the hype. It felt like a validation of our first visit — Boy Belly was no fluke, it was the real deal.

A More Relaxed Vibe at Metro Ayala 🏙️✨

Our latest trip brought us to their Metro Ayala branch on the 6th floor. Unlike the busy atmosphere in SM Seaside, this branch offers a more relaxed and cozy dining experience. You can take your time, enjoy the ambience, and really savor your food.

What impressed us most is the consistency of flavors across branches. From Ayala to SM Seaside to Metro Ayala, the dishes taste the same — delicious, filling, and sulit. That kind of consistency is rare, and it shows that Boy Belly values quality no matter which branch you visit.

The Famous Barkadahan Meal – A Cebuano Favorite 🍗🍜🥘

One of the highlights at Boy Belly is their Barkadahan Meal. For only ₱799, you get a full spread that can easily feed a small group:

  • Pancit

  • 4 pieces of Chicken

  • Cordon Bleu

  • Chicken Fillet

  • 4 cups of rice

For groups of friends or families, this is one of the best sulit meals you can get inside Cebu’s malls. Not only is it filling, but it also offers variety, so everyone has something to enjoy.

Considering the prices at other mall restos, Boy Belly gives you more value for your money without compromising taste.

✔️ Affordable group meals – Their Barkadahan Meal alone is worth the trip.
✔️ Consistent taste across branches – Whether you’re in Ayala, Seaside, or Metro Ayala, expect the same quality.

  Why Sunburst Fried Chicken Still Hits the Spot When it comes to Cebuano comfort food, very few names stand out as much as Sunburst Fried Chicken . For decades, it has been part of many family gatherings, barkada lunches, and quick mall bites. Even with new food spots opening left and right in Cebu, Sunburst continues to deliver that nostalgic crunch and flavor that many of us grew up with.

  Street Food Vibes at Roro Cordova Food Park Late-afternoon cravings led us to  Roro Cordova Food Park  in Cordova, Cebu. The place was lively when we arrived—music in the background, families sharing tables, and stalls calling out with fresh batches of snacks. It felt cozy and friendly, with that casual “tara, kaon ta” energy you get from good street food spots. What we noticed first was how  budget-friendly  the choices were. You can mix and match small plates, try something new, or go for that one dish you already love. It’s the kind of food trip where you leave full and happy without spending too much. What We Ordered (and Why We Liked Them) We kept it simple and went for items we know many Cebuanos enjoy. Each dish gave something different, and together they made a fun, filling combo.
