SINCE its launch in April 2021, Tales & Feelings quickly rose to popularity in its quaint and unassuming location in Ramos, capturing the hearts and palates of Cebuanos. Two years later, the beloved hole-in-the-wall will be opening its second branch in the third quarter of 2023 at the Amber Hotel located at the bustling intersection of Capitol, Don Gil Garcia St. and Don Julio Llorente St., Cebu City.
Poised to become its flagship restaurant, the new space can accommodate up to 100 guests—a significant upgrade from its cozy Ramos branch, which seats 18 to 20 patrons. With two private rooms, a chef's counter exclusively for tasting menus, a fully stocked bar, and an extensive wine cellar, the new Tales & Feelings promises a complete gastronomic journey.
Chef Elso Almodiel III, the executive chef behind Tales & Feelings, will assume the executive role at the flagship restaurant while also providing continued guidance at the Ramos branch. The core team will accompany Chef Elso to the new establishment, ensuring a seamless transition and upholding the culinary excellence that Tales & Feelings is renowned for.
Julian and Kim Prosevicius, the couple behind the Cebu culinary gem, aim to have an elevated dining experience at the flagship location with a menu that embraces the art of fine dining. In true Tales & Feelings fashion, the menu will be ever-evolving, satisfying diners who indulge in culinary adventures.
On why they decided to open a new branch, Kim shared that it is a product of all the feedback they receive from their customers: “We are always eager to learn and strive for new things every day. Working in a small space, there is a ceiling to our capabilities, and we are unable to show our full potential. Guests have been asking for a bigger space to accommodate their requests, proper parking, and facilities that complement the quality of our food and service.”
Julian added, "Opening our flagship restaurant is a dream come true for us. It's a testament to the passion and dedication we pour into every dish we create. We are honored to bring Tales & Feelings to a wider audience and continue our commitment to culinary excellence."
