La Regatta Restaurant

Framed by a rain forest lush with majestic palms and exotic tropical plants and flowers, the poolside ambiance is a favorite for romantic candlelit dinners for two or family get-togethers. Tell the kids, if they look close, they may see Tarzan swinging though the jungle. This relaxed, tranquil setting accents one of Cebu’s finest garden-view restaurants. The colorful décor of the adjacent Jungle Bar is a great backdrop for sharing a meal, beverage and travel stories with fellow adventurers. One sumptuous menu, comprised of a large array of international and Filipino dishes for every taste bud, is offered in all three locations, as are a wide selection of vintage wines and spirits. For young children, we offer Alta Cebu’s kids menu.

Alta has its own organic garden which supplies many of the ingredients that go into making our meals most delectable- an especially welcome treat for vegan palates. Some of the tapas, meals, homemade breads and desserts are original recipes of Alta’s well respected chefs; their food has received accolades from many visiting chefs (for example, one former guest was executive chef at a restaurant which serves the U.S. Congressmen and Senators noted that the food was superb).

Alta’s chefs are passionate about cooking and dedicated to continuous improvement in their search for new and even better ways to create the delectable flavors and presentation. For further inspiration they take refresher classes, share ideas, browse the websites, and research through Alta’s extensive cook book library for ideas for the latest in cooking styles and recopies. For long staying guests they are happy to prepare special meals with advance notice.
