During my free time, I love exploring new restaurants, cafes, and going on food adventures. Today, we visited the famous Nanda located at Barangay Garing, Consolacion, Cebu City, Philippines. This cafe is well-known throughout the city and has gained popularity on social media for its stunning 360 view of the city, just like Busay in Cebu City. We rode our motorcycle to get there, and had to ask the locals for directions since there aren't many signs on the streets. The cafe is located on a small road beside the SM Consolacion mall, heading towards Barangay Garing, where Nanda is located. I have been planning to visit this cafe but due to our hectic schedules, we did not had the time to visit. But today, since it was my day off from work and I am just headed to the city, we decided to stop by here and grab some snacks.
Once you spot the Barangay Garing sign, you'll know you're getting close to Nanda. The cafe is located on the main highway from SM City Consolacion Mall, and it took us about 10 to 15 minutes to reach Barangay Garing. The roads are wide enough for cars, so it's definitely worth driving here. However, trucks may find it inconvenient due to the narrow roads. Motorcycles, on the other hand, will have no problem navigating the area.
Throughout our trip, we were constantly greeted by this stunning view. Reminding me of Barangay Busay in Cebu City, this panoramic overlook situated in Barangay Consolacion, Cbeu City, Philippines offers a 360-degree view of the city, with the added bonus of fresh air and the sound of chirping birds. Being able to soak in this breathtaking sight and traveling with my beau has been a great stress-reliever for me.
Here is what you’ll see on the road near Nanda, some directions pointing to where it is located.
We finally arrived at Nanda.
We parked our motorcycle at the motorcycle parking area.
Nanda was a delight. Its aesthetic appeal was so captivating that we wanted to take pictures of every corner. Dining with family and loved ones while enjoying the city view was incomparable. Being located on the mountaintop made it windy enough to not require air conditioning, which was refreshing. The restaurant's pleasing architecture and modern interior design were admirable. We ordered some delicious food, and overall, it was an amazing experience. Here are the foods we got.
We got some carbonara, fries, banana berry smoothie and and cookies and cream frappe. I would rate their foods a 9/10. I love the carbonara but it would have been better if they used fettuccine pasta.
For your reference, here are the prices:
They also have some pastries available.
It was worth the trip after all. It is important to go out sometimes and discover new places. It adds to your memory bank, some good foods, and good places to remember. Happy to share with you all my first eat out this 2024. Hope you all had a happy holiday. Ciao!☺︎♡
