Filipino-Style Brunch in Chicago | Ube Lovers, This One’s for You! 💜

Cebu is a cozy spot specializing in homemade Filipino comfort food, tucked away on N Lincoln Ave in Lakeview. The seating is snug but the vibe is relaxed — perfect for a laid-back weekend brunch! 😌🍽️ We tried some of their most popular menu items: 1️⃣ Cebu Lechon Classic Filipino roast pork with super crispy skin — first bite is heavenly! 🐷⚡ It’s on the richer side, so pairing it with their fresh salad helps balance the flavor. 2️⃣ Short Ribs Tapsilog 🥩🍳 Braised short ribs + garlic fried rice + sunny-side-up egg — tender, savory, and deeply satisfying! The cucumber salad on the side adds a nice refreshing touch. ✅ 3️⃣ Ube Waffles and Chicken 🍗🧇 Purple yam waffles + savory fried chicken — crispy outside, soft inside, and the chicken stays juicy! A sweet-and-salty combo done right. 4️⃣ Ube Latte / Ube Tiramisu Latte ☕💜 Creamy, not too sweet, with a lovely ube flavor. You can even add an espresso shot for more depth! Plus, it’s totally Instagram-worthy ✨ 📍 Cebu 3120 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60657 💡 Verdict: Reasonably priced and great for anyone curious about Southeast Asian flavors — especially if you’re an ube enthusiast! #ChicagoEats #ChicagoFood #ChicagoBrunch #FilipinoFood #UbeEverything #BrunchGoals
