Davao Delicious

Vianda Buena

It’s so great to unwind and settle for a dining place that’s inexpensive, laid back and unpretentious, but without having to sacrifice quality or taste. That’s how I feel about this new place in Barrio Obrero, Vianda Buena. The proprietors — my friends Ahbet, Rikki and Hubert — call it their “sosyal na carinderia“. It’s [...]

Antonio’s Bar & Grill has two restaurants in Davao City: the first one in SM City, the other and better-looking one in the new Metro Lifestyle commercial building on the corner of Jacinto Ext. and F. Torres St. The newer place is much more inviting and furnished like a stylish bistro. The comfortable tables and [...]

Tunalicious!

It’s very refreshing to see food establishments in Davao that come out and offer new things to stimulate the taste buds — those that veer away from the typical chicken barbecue that you see all around. This is what my friends and I have discovered at Tunalicious, a relatively new ‘native’ restaurant in town.
From the [...]

This restaurant has been around for a long time now, and it’s one of those that I enjoy each time I visit. The food — Filipino cuisine — is simply delicious. Yellow Fin Seafood & Restaurant is on its way to becoming a culinary institution in Davao City.
Typical of early Davao dining places was the [...]

Mamu’s Resto-Bar

This restaurant might be somewhat removed from your usual routes around Davao, but it’ll be well worth taking the trip to Mamu’s Resto•Bar. I was there for a lovely dinner with Andrew and Ria last Wednesday. And we were not disappointed.
There are few places in Davao City that offer excellent Filipino cooking amidst a classy [...]

When Gerry’s Grill opened two years ago, it made quite a splash in the local restaurant scene because it was [...]

Marina Tuna Seafood Market & Resto

I remember when Marina Tuna was just a small, unassuming eatery sitting along the highway in one of the sleepy parts of Davao City. But I can also recall how much my friends and I instantly loved their cooking, especially their deep-fried tail of tuna — so crunchy on the outside yet heavenly soft and [...]

Karlyn’s

The first time I ate at Karlyn’s was in March 2007, when I had barely started blogging about food in earnest. It was one of the first restaurants that I’d blogged about. Reading my old post over at AngDabawenyo.com, I remember how impressed I was with their food.
And I’m happy to say that a lot [...]

The house of paksiw na buntot ng bariles

They first made themselves known to Dabawenyos along J.P. Laurel Avenue, across from Landco Corporate Centre, beside Petron. Not long after, people began talking about their fantastic Filipino fare. Then they transferred to the Pryce Business Park, beside another gas station, curiously enough.
Can•teen (tagline: hauz of paksiw na buntot ng bariles) prides itself [...]

I’ve been getting requests to write about caterers in Davao, so here’s something. One catering outfit that I’d recommend without hesitation is Leandro’s. They’ve been around for a long time now, and many families and companies trust their reliable services. I’ve used them a couple of times in the past, and I was satisfied with [...]

When I asked Bob Martin for suggestions on where to bring Matt Mullenweg, who is known to love sampling the different barbecue offerings of the places he goes to all over the world, he didn’t hesitate to recommend Ranchero’s Grill. So Bob & I brought Matt there for dinner last 3 September 2008, along [...]
