Gracioso Arano !

Chiqitita brought us to this Spanish resto, Arano, that only opens at night. ( Chiqitita by the way had stayed here in Cebu for a couple of months, way way back that's why she's quite familiar with the ins and outs of what Cebu has to offer. And, indeed, Arano is located in one of the "ins" here in the city --- you have to drive to a village in Guadalupe. Not that far actually from the Capitol.). Espanols who I think were the owners of the said diner greeted us with " Maayong Gabi-i" as soon as we entered. Based on the menu, the dishes are affordable; I really have to taste them since we only had dessert when we went there. It's an unassuming place inspired by some Spanish restos I see in magazines.
