Casa Verde in Cebu: Serving Cebu’s Famous Brian’s Ribs Since 2002
Casa Verde in Cebu is best known as the home of Brian’s Ribs, serving generous portions of comfort food in a casual dining setting. Established in August 2002, this family-owned restaurant has grown from a small canteen into one of Cebu’s most popular dining destinations.
The restaurant’s name, which means “green house” in Spanish, was inspired by the owners’ heritage and the original Ramos branch, once part of their ancestral home. What started as a simple space catering to students and nearby residents quickly gained popularity through word-of-mouth, eventually expanding into multiple branches in the country.

Casa Verde follows a “value for money” philosophy, offering large portions, satisfying flavors, and affordable prices. The space itself reflects a relaxed and homey atmosphere, decorated with personal collectibles that add character to the dining experience.
At the center of the menu is its most famous dish, Brian’s Ribs, featuring baked pork ribs coated in a sweet and tangy piquet sauce. The dish is served with rice, corn, and carrots for solo and regular portions, while larger options come with a platter and drinks—making it ideal for both individual meals and group dining.
