To further pick out the best of the best in the lechon market, here are the following:

Special lechon….

CNT Lechon House is undeniably one of the popular lechon houses in the city. Not only is it true for the locals, but also among local tourists visiting the city. Many would order lechon and have them packed and sealed for travel. CNT roasted pigs have crunchy skins and have salty meat. Unlike the Tagalog roasted pigs wherein the lechon meat remains bland, Cebu lechons pride in properly seasoned meat retaining its juiciness and tenderness and minus the layers of pork fat. Orders can be by kilo or by one roasted pig piece.

Alejo’s Lechon is also famous for its wonderfully seasoned roasted pigs. Unlike CNT wherein there are many branches around the city, Alejo’s shop can be found in Salvador, Labangon. Even if the place is a bit far from the bustle of the city, many loyal fans still flock to their shop to get a piece of that crunchy pork skin or get orders for their parties and gatherings.
