Sutukil is a conventional style of cooking made up of sugba or grill, tuwa or stew and kilaw which is ceviche. Isla Sugbu Seafood City is one of the places to best experience the best of Cebuano cuisine represented by SuTuKil.
Located at the spacious Grandcon convention center which also houses two other dining outlets, Grand Majestic Buffet Restaurant and Tsay Cheng Chinese Restaurant. The interiors are nicely designed with a wharf/resort feel to it. Tables are spaced really well with no chance of bumping other diners. Parking is also not a problem with their available lots and parking building outside.
