Sugbo Mercado is an open-air night market in Cebu IT Park, one of the developments credited with popularizing the format that similar markets around the city later copied. Stalls run from Cebuano staples like lechon and grilled seafood to Korean, Japanese, and other international street food, priced for a casual night out. It draws heavily from the district’s own workforce — the BPO offices ringing the market keep odd hours, and the crowd here reflects that as much as it reflects weekend visitors.
- Eat around: lechon, grilled seafood, and international stalls sit side by side, so plan to share plates.
- Live acoustic sets run most nights, adding to the market’s usual noise rather than dominating it.
- Insider tip: Arrive by 5:30 PM on weekends to get a table before the dinner rush.
