When someone says the word "dampa" the first thing that comes to everyones mind is seafood, but sadly not all seafood restaurants are the same, admit it or not, you may have some horror experiences to some "dampa" restaurants that you have dined-in wether it be the food, service, price or the place. Recently, Cebu's best seafood restaurant, Isla Sugbu Seafood City, opened at Venice Grand Canal Mall in Taguig.

That doesn't end there, with superb hygiene practices and facilities that are kept in pristine condition, you know that all the food that are served are fresh and safe.  The Restaurant has a brilliant way of satisfying your seafood cravings t
