Don Merto's Dining

Wanna treat yourself to a very sumptuous meal? Happy Slippers takes you to an unfamiliar yet amazingly different restaurant in Cebu City, Don Merto's Restaurant. Located at 94 Juana Osmena St. Cebu City, this restaurant will surely captivate your heart with its mouthwatering, truly enticing dishes. 

This restaurant is owned by Don Merto, (by its name) and Dona Mena. This restaurant started to serve as the house of the rich couple. Now, since they've moved to another residential house, and since they're children have their own families already, Dona Mena decided to open their house to the public and converted it to a cozy restaurant under her husband's name. The other half of the house serves as an endearing Bed and Breakfast, Casa Escano, named after Dona Mena's daughter, Gloria Escano. So wazzup with this restaurant? Let's try to look at some of their dishes.
