Boasting of a new and contemporary concept and maintaining that traditional Filipino cuisine and ambience, Café Laguna recently opened its fifth outlet at The Northwing, SM City Cebu.
Cebu City First Lady Margot Osmeña and Teresin Mendezona cut the ceremonial ribbon during the grand opening. A week before this, Fr. Soc Saldua blessed the elegantly decorated dining place. Owners, Dr. Ricardo Urbina and enterprising wife Lita Urbina were very much present although Lita was still in a wheelchair due to a freak accident.
Being ran by members of the Urbina family, all their children were present, too – Grace Absin, Raki Urbina, Jill Viado, Dr. Jet Canoy and John Paul Urbina. Drop by at the Café Laguna Northwing and savor the hundred and one menus they have for you. Remember, Café Laguna keeps Filipino heritage alive through their food.
