The Terraces in Ayala Mall

If you’ve not been out of your couch or computer workstation lately, it is time to start moving. You don’t want to be the last to see, right? Yep, there’s something new to see in Cebu, specifically in Ayala Mall at the Cebu business park.

The new Terraces just opened and it is so much more than food and drinks out there.

Today, my hubby and I went to see it and we were amazed at how much was done in so short a time. If I remember it correctly, they started renovating it around late last year, I’m not sure. The old lagoon is now a classy, clean, landscaped and developed park with great viewing decks from the main mall.

From the Bo’s Coffee entrance, the first majestic subject for the eyes is the fountain silently inviting people to come near it. It’s a round simple fountain before you get to the center of the Terraces.

A huge space and stage occupy the center of the park, great for concerts and events. Just across the stage are levels of terraces (where its name is probably based) where mall rats like us can view the whole place from the top. By the way, it’s an open space so you can enjoy star gazing and the moonlight in the evenings.

Curious what to do after the nice park trip? Now, there’s a wide selection of food choices, but the majority of the restaurants are coffee shops like the Figaro, Laguna Cafe, Moon Cafe, Starbucks and a lot more. For the restaurant category, a lot of the stalls inside have started transferring here. Some are the Lemon Grass, Kublai Khan, Henrico’s, etc. There are also a lot of new restos like Casa Verde, Teriyaki Boy, Sizzling Pepper Steak (where we ate by the way) and the most famous of all, the TGI Fridays.

The good part is you can enjoy it with or without a full-packed wallet. All you have to do is get out there with full stomach. So pack your camera and see for yourself.
