Why Travelers Love Socarrat
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Great food and great service. Staff has been pet-friendly, and tries to greet my dog whenever they can which is kinda cute. Also very understanding on the customer’s (mom) unfamiliarity with the dishes which shows their patience. Quality food. Paellas and the steak were great, but I think the gnocchi was the star of the show (might be biased). Has a perfect bite while not sticking on your teeth. Ordered the eggplants for giggles but didn’t expect for it to come on a flower pot. The batter carries the flavor. Will definitely come back again. We had the best time at Socarrat! The paella was superb. I also loved the sangria. Service was phenomenal. I celebrated my birthday there and they really took good care of us. If you’re craving Spanish food in Cebu, Socarrat is the place to be. This refined yet welcoming restaurant captures the soul of Spanish cuisine with authenticity, passion, and flair. From tapas to paella, every dish is crafted with care and bold Mediterranean flavor. The star of the show, true to its name, is their paella— perfectly cooked with that signature crisp socarrat at the bottom, rich in depth and satisfying in every bite. Their selection of tapas, cured meats, and classic Spanish dishes are equally impressive, offering a well-rounded culinary journey through Spain. The ambiance is warm and intimate, ideal for both casual dinners and special occasions. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall dining experience. Whether you’re a longtime lover of Spanish cuisine or simply looking to try something new, Socarrat delivers an unforgettable taste of Spain right in the heart of Cebu.

My wife and I visited the place for our wedding anniversary. She was the one who chose this place to have dinner and we tried them out. Ordered their steak and paella and it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious! Their steak is tender (medium rare). Food: 5/5 We'll definitely be back to order another set of menu from them. :) Service: 5/5 Their staff were friendly. Atmosphere: 5/5 The place was instagramable.

Great place, great food, and wonderful staff- shoutout to Lanie for helping us accommodate our 20 guests! The paella took some time (35 mins to be exact- must order ahead) but was worth the wait. Everything was fresh! The free churros were a nice touch!
