10/22/2017

Comments

 
​Since traveling to the northern tip of Cebu can take a number of hours, it is necessary to make a stopover somewhere. This allows travelers can stretch their legs or grab a quick bite. While there are several places where private vehicles and buses can stop along the route, there is a place in Carmen where you can stop for a while before continuing their journey north. The name of the place is Bastap.

Bastap

Bastap is a restaurant offering a place for travelers to stretch their muscles or get something to eat in Carmen. The place started off as a small tent set up by Kintar Food that initially catered to small groups of travelers. The owners generously gave free meals to bus drivers who would stop by the place. When the business grew, the company worked with the Ceres bus company to come up with Bastap.

​The name Bastap reflects the way Cebuanos pronounce and spell bus stop. The place offers a good variety of dishes to tickle their taste buds. The meals range from light snacks to full-blown meals. In addition, the Bastap Café also offers coffee and ice cream sundaes for anyone who wants to have more than just something to eat.
