Following the warm welcome Cebu’s “Best Lechon” received on its Manila debut, Rico’s Lechon opened its third and largest branch in Metro Manila.
Located on the first level of Food Village Building B of Tiendesitas in Ortigas East, Ugong, Pasig, the newest branch of Rico’s Lechon boasts a whopping 733-square-meter space which can sit up to 300 diners.
Further, the newest establishment houses seven VIP rooms which are named after a variety of districts within Cebu.
The Pasig branch features eye-catching tropical interiors with an infusion of wooden furnishings and touches.
Meanwhile, the Roasting Pit—an anticipated attraction for visitors of the vicinity—in Rico’s Lechon Tiendesitas is much bigger, which can hold up to 20 full-size lechons. Likewise, the Chopping Area is bigger than its other Manila branches. A separate counter for takeout orders is available in this branch as well.
Rico’s third branch offers mouthwatering regular and spicy lechon in quarter-kilo, half-kilo, and one full kilo, as well as its best-selling dishes such as Adobong Kangkong, Baked Scallops, Bulalo, Lechon Paksiw, and Kamote Balls; thirst-quenching Calamansi Soda and Green Mango Juice; and delectable desserts Oreo Mango Float and Pandan Tapioca.
In addition to its known dishes, new items will only be available in Rico’s Lechon Tiendesitas for a time being, before they are rolled out in the other restaurant locations. New menu includes Lechon Kare-Kare, Beef Tripe Kare-Kare, Tokwa at Lechon Baboy, Ginataang Laing, Gising Gising, Chicken Binakol, Lechon Lumpiang Shanghai, Sisig Fried Rice, Chorizo Fried Rice, Buchi with Caramel Sauce, Maja Kalabasa, and Leche Flan.
Cebu’s food gem is further expanding in Metro Manila as it prepares to open its fourth and fifth branches at Ayala Malls Cloverleaf and UP Town Center in Quezon City.
Rico’s Lechon is open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
