District 50 Cebu

Thanks to Groupon, I learned about this new restaurant here in Cebu, the District 50. Actually, it was because of the great deal that I got interested at first, as I have not yet heard anything about this restaurant. I then checked online and I was fascinated by the look of their resto and the dishes look delicious too! Plus the deal is more than 50% off, so how can I resist? *wink*

50’s Inspired

Yes, the restaurant is inspired by the 50’s era. The interior is obviously designed that of the 50’s – pop culture and rock & roll period. The red and white color on chairs and walls is ‘in’ plus the black & white checkered tiles! What’s more unique is the Herbie Volkswagen Beetle with a table inside, which is good for two.

Food Choices & Price

District 50 serves a collection of international dishes which includes steak, pork, chicken, beef, fish, burgers and pasta. We had Barbaric Ribs and Tangy Chicken on our first visit. The service was good and fast, within 10-15mins I think and in a standard platter.

Barbaric Ribs

Barbaric Ribs - Php195

It’s a grilled American ribs with BBQ sauce. I think the serving size is comparable with that of Casa Verde – ample size for one person with mixed vegetables and rice. The meat was tender and perfectly grilled.

Tangy Chicken

Tangy Chicken - Php170

My favorite that night! It’s said that it is one of the original recipe of District 50. It’s made of chicken thighs and mushroom with a very flavorful sauce. It’s beautifully plated and serving is good for one person. The Tangy Chicken is also served with rice.

Specialty Drinks

D50 also offers these specialty drinks; floats and slush.

Mint Float

Mint Float - Php100

It’s Sprite with a mint ice cream. I love the minty taste when the ice cream melted on the soda.

Orange Slush

Orange Slush - Php95

I’ve actually took some pictures of their menu for reference. J

Beef

Pork

The Verdict

Undeniably, we enjoyed and were satisfied with the food and service at District 50. I bet this will become one of the Cebu’s pride restaurants soon. With its tasty, well-priced and wide range menu, it can surely compete with the other well known restaurants here in Cebu.
