The popular Cebu lechon restaurant, whose lechon was praised by Anthony Bourdain, sets up shop in Makati

The popular lechon restaurant was founded by Joel Binamira in 2009, a year after Joel cooked some lechon for chef, author, and TV personality Anthony Bourdain for an episode of No Reservations. In the episode, Anthony called Joel’s lechon “the best pig ever.”

 

The Makati branch is serving up the same lechon that Zubuchon in Cebu is known for – with no MSG, no preservatives, and no artificial coloring – either original or boneless. Both come in 3 sizes – small (P290), medium (P590), and large (P880).

No matter what size or version you order, you can also opt to have your lechon served sizzling or spicy. 

Aside from lechon, Zubuchon also serves up Filipino favorites like ensaladang talong (P130) and sinigang (P320), plus classics with a twist like sizzling squid stuffed with sisig (P320).
