Mindanao Heritage Restaurant

Cucina Higala

Mindanao heritage cuisine

Our flagship restaurant in the heart of Cagayan de Oro, where the heritage dishes of Mindanao are cooked, plated, and told the way our grandmothers intended — with a few surprises of our own.

Cucina Higala celebrates the island's rich heritage, diverse cultures, and abundant flavors. We reimagine traditional Filipino recipes by fusing age-old customs with modern cooking methods, partnering with local farmers, producers, and artisans.

• Heritage dishes from across Mindanao — Humba de Oro, Surol Chicken from Camiguin, Beef Randang, Tausug Lamb Kulma and Tiyula Itum
• Signature originals like the Sizzling Binaki with Caramel Sauce — Bukidnon's beloved corn delicacy, reimagined
• Ranked the #1 restaurant in Cagayan de Oro on TripAdvisor (2019 & 2020) and a Travelers' Choice awardee (2022)
• Built with local farmers, producers, and artisans — giving back through Kindness in a Plate
