House of Lechon Menu Prices 2026: Full List & Cebu Lechon Guide

House of Lechon is Cebu City's most celebrated lechon restaurant, ranked #1 among thousands of Cebu City restaurants on multiple review platforms. It specialises in Carcar-style lechon -- whole pig slow-roasted over charcoal with a signature sauce made from pork drippings, vinegar, soy and fresh herbs. The restaurant was included in the debut MICHELIN Guide Philippines 2026 as a Michelin Selected restaurant and won SunStar Best of Cebu 2024 Best Filipino Restaurant.

As of publicly documented 2024 pricing, the classic Carcar lechon starts at PHP 390 for 1/8 kg, rises to PHP 545 for 1/4 kg, PHP 810 for 1/2 kg, and PHP 1,499 for a full kilogram. The spicy lechon variant starts at PHP 400 for 1/8 kg. Prices are in Philippine Pesos. Confirm with the restaurant for current pricing -- call +63 916 662 0163 or check their official social media.

Carcar lechon originates from the municipality of Carcar in southern Cebu province. It differs from Manila-style lechon in two key ways: (1) the pig is stuffed with tanglad (lemongrass), garlic, leeks and star anise before roasting, and (2) it is served with the restaurant's house dipping sauce of roasted pork drippings, vinegar, soy sauce and fresh herbs -- rather than the sweet liver sauce (sarsa) typical in Manila. The skin is prized for being thin, shatter-crackly and deeply caramelised.

Lechon Sisig (PHP 299) is one of House of Lechon's most-ordered non-lechon dishes. Chopped lechon skin and meat are sizzled on a cast-iron plate with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, chilli and sometimes egg. The result is crispy, savoury and slightly spicy -- a distinctly Cebuano take on the classic Pampanga sisig, which traditionally uses pork cheek and ear.

Prichon (PHP 399) is a portmanteau of 'pritong lechon' -- literally 'fried lechon.' Portions of already-roasted lechon are deep-fried a second time, which intensifies the crunch of the skin and concentrates the pork flavour. It is a popular way to serve lechon leftovers and is considered by many Cebuanos to be even better than freshly roasted lechon.

Yes. House of Lechon was included in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide Philippines 2026 as a Michelin Selected restaurant -- one of the first Cebu City establishments recognised in the guide's debut Philippines edition. Michelin Selected (also known as the Michelin Plate) recognises restaurants offering quality cooking that inspectors find worthy of recommendation, below the Bib Gourmand tier but still a meaningful endorsement. The guide debuted in the Philippines in 2026.

The main branch is at Acacia Street (corner Tojong Street), Cebu City 6000, Philippines, near the Ayala Cebu Business Park. The restaurant is open daily 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Reservations are accepted; takeout and delivery are available through the restaurant's hotline (+63 916 662 0163 / +63 32 231 0958) and third-party apps (GrabFood, FoodPanda). The restaurant offers parking with validation, outdoor seating, and is wheelchair accessible.

Beyond the signature lechon, frequently recommended dishes include: Chicharon Bulaklak (PHP 299) -- crispy fried pork ruffled fat with spiced vinegar; Baked Scallops (PHP 290) with cheesy garlic butter; Lechon Sisig (PHP 299); Crispy Kangkong (PHP 199) as a vegetable side; and Halo-Halo as a cooling dessert. Rice is served in three formats: steamed, garlic, or traditional puso (hanging coconut-leaf rice).

House of Lechon consistently ranks at the top of Cebu City restaurant lists alongside other lechon institutions such as Rico's Lechon and Zubuchon. Key differentiators: House of Lechon holds a Michelin Selected 2026 designation (the only major international guide recognition in Cebu lechon); it was voted SunStar Best of Cebu 2024 Best Filipino Restaurant; and reviewers consistently praise the consistency of its crispy skin and the distinctive herb depth of Carcar-style preparation. Rico's and Zubuchon are also highly regarded alternatives if queues are long.
