Visa has resumed its successful dining program Epic Dining by Visa and extended it to Cebu, with more privileges and discounts for Visa cardholders in selected bars and restaurants.

More than 30 restaurants joined Epic Dining by Visa. The eight-month program has four stages with rotating establishments.

“Following the successful programs we ran in previous years, we decided to take this year’s program up a notch so our cardholders can enjoy more exciting, exclusive and quality dining experiences,” said Stuart Tomlinson, Visa country manager for the Philippines and Guam.

For the launch, star chef Hide Yamamoto hosted guests in his restaurant at City of Dreams and came up with culinary treats from the restaurant’s sushi, teppanyaki and robatayaki stations.

The Hide Yamamoto restaurant is one of the dining outlets and bars where cardholders can enjoy Visa’s signature VIP treatment, including discounts of up to 30% on meals and bottle purchases and free entrance to exclusive bars, by simply presenting their Visa cards.
