π️ Eating here is done the Filipino way — with your hands! You’ll be given disposable plastic bags to cover your fingers, or you can wash your hands at their sink stations.
πΈ Budget-Friendly Feast
We were amazed at how cheap everything was! Our group of 4 only spent ₱460.00 for a filling dinner. Compare that to more commercial spots like AA’s BBQ, and Larsian clearly wins on budget.
π½️ Larsian is not about fancy ambiance — it's about flavor, affordability, and that raw Cebuano food culture.
