Food at Don Merto’s has been inspired by Dona Mena and Gloria Escano’s cuisine. Today at Casa Escano, we take the influences of both women to create a cuisine that we like to call ‘food for the soul’.

We feature recipes that Dona Mena would prepare on Sunday lunches in her Ramos home and special holiday food prepared to warm the hearts of her family. Her specialties like, homemade pancit, with noodles rolled by hand. Timke, a cull chicken soup traditionally served during Noche Buena. And most especially her canalones, hand-rolled chicken and pasta with béchamel.

Alongside our featured “lola’s favorites” we also offer the quality steaks that Don Merto’s Delicatessen and Restaurant is offering at the SM City Cebu Northwing. Taking a deeper look at the menu, one can also find dishes influenced by a younger generation of foodies; to a palate that is more accustomed to cleaner, lighter flavors with emphasis on artistic presentation to complete the dining experience.

The place is simple, cozy, and apparently is frequented
