Expect a 1h waiting queue at Lantaw. While I was waiting, I got to see how they store their fish and I was already disappointed. Fortunately, everything changed when we got our table with an amazing view. The food was good, but I wouldn't say I liked it better than any other local food I had in the Philippines.

After our visit to Temple of Leah we went to Lantaw for dinner. Most seats overlooking the city is reserved but I noticed that some customers end up transferring to the middle seats anyway - I think this is due to the presence of flies or something.Food is really good, though that may just be because we were hungry at the time. I'll be listing out the ones I recommend (or well, have tried hehe)-Baked scallops: scallops is always a must order for me. I especially like the scallops in Cebu - idk but I just feel that it's fresher compared to the ones that you can find in Manila. I love the baked scallops here, very cheesy.-Calamari: I liked it. It didn't have a rubbery texture, which is always a good thing when it comes to squid lol-pancit: it was good, although I think that it was a bit salty-kare kare: I also liked this one! The sauce is very creamy, and let's just say I ended up eating more than my fair share of rice lolThe city view from Lantaw is really pretty, especially during sunsets and at night when the city just sparkles. The road's a bit dark - at night - and narrow (especially when you go in Lantaw's entrance where it's also steep), so be careful driving up here! Service was nice. I didn't really like how they displayed their fish (or some of it that was on display orz) - seems unsanitary to me. ;; They have no wifi. Parking is aplenty though.
