Memorable Events at Gustavian

- Honey Jarque Loop -

CEBU, Philippines - The Gustavian, an established leading gastronomic haven, is one of Cebu's most fashionable restaurants where one can sample excellent cocktails and enjoy an exceptional menu in comfortable surroundings.

Recently, this restaurant was the venue of choice for two very memorable milestones. The first event was an intimate dinner given by family and friends for Michel Lhuillier, a true gentleman with extensive accomplishments. He is Honorary Consul of France in Cebu, Bailli Delegue Philippines of the international gastronomic society Chaine des Rotisseurs, a visionary and a multi-faceted entrepreneur whose business acumen pushed him to the forefront as one of the country's leading businessmen.

Ever supportive wife Amparito, a philanthropist, a working socialite, jewelry designer, not to mention a loving mother and doting grandma, personally attended to the details of the party and made sure everyone had a great time.

An array of cheeses, salmon, home-made pate, appetizers galore were on the cocktail tables which were adorned with hydrangeas and orchids from the private garden of the Lhuilliers.

The evening overflowed with a vast selection of the finest Spanish food and a wonderful exchange of memories. It was truly an enjoyable get-together.

A fortnight later, the distinguished couple Honorary Consul Michel and Mme. Amparito Lhuillier tendered cocktails and dinner in farewell of the Ambassador of France, His Excellency Thierry Borja de Mozota, once again, at the Gustavian Restaurant.

Ambassador Borja de Mozota has been a regular guest to the city and during his oftentimes much too short visits, he has met several individuals who have become his friends. It is no wonder that the Ambassador's good nature and uncomplicated character have earned him a special place in the hearts of Cebuanos, among them Congressman Eduardo Gullas and his wife Mingming, Marguerite Lhuillier, Rosebud Sala, Louie Thevenin and his lovely wife Honeylet, Teresin Mendezona , Johnny and Anna Marie Dizon and Michel Marchant.

Prior to his departure, President Aquino conferred the Order of Sikatuna with the rank of Datu (Gold distinction) to His Excellency Amb. Thierry Borja de Mozota. This distinguished award is the National Order of Diplomatic Merit of the Philippines conferred upon individuals who have rendered exceptional and meritorious services to the country.

Two memorable events for two distinguished gentlemen in the grand setting of the Gustavian. (FREEMAN)
