KAYU Kitchen + Bar celebrates a year of satisfying Cebu’s palate with modern-fusion cuisine paired with a first-class culinary experience.

Nestled along 32 Sanson Road, Kayu features Western to Asian dishes innovated by passionate Cebuano Chef Francis “Izzy” Sy.

After gaining the experience, he went back to Cebu to pursue the restaurant business with his mother, Marisse Sy, who also has a knack for unique culinary creations.
