  • This no frills restaurant, situated near a creek, was even visited by politicians like our deposed president, Estrada. My former coworkers (bankers) always recommend this place. According to them, it serves the best grilled tuna.

    Wooden benches and tables and no AC contribute to the local flavor!

    Tuna aficionados, mostly office workers, come in droves in this hole in the wall eatery!

    Grilled yellow fin tuna (inihaw=grilled, panga=jaw)

    Serving of tuna is so big and cheap so my friend and I just ordered one and even took half of it home! Just put in a foil to preserve it.

    Soysauce with calamansi (local version of lemon) brings out the taste of your tuna

    Jacks Ridge
    by Iluv2surf2
    Our first evening meal we shared in Davao was at a place called Jacks Ridge. This was the coolest place in Davao...and I mean that literally. This restaurant sits on the top of a hill in Davao and at night you can see a spectacular view of the city lights.

    The food and service was excellent. The prices were extremely reasonable also. I would strongly recommend this as a must experience restaurant and on our next trip to Davao we will go there moer than once.

    This trip wasn't quite as pleasant as my previous visit. They were out of two items, those I did order were sub-standard. The service was also a problem. They wanted me to order all of my food at once. No. That's unacceptable. Once I set them on the correct path, everything was mostly OK, as far as the service went. They had a real problem getting COLD beverages (water & Diet Coke) to me in a timely manner.

    If you're into seafood, Nanay Bevengs is the place for you. This seafood buffet is exceptionally nice. The food is high quality, service is good and the price is very reasonable. If you like seafood and fish you'll love this place.

    I have only 1 complaint about this place which is they need to offer food in addition to seafood, like chicken, or leechon. I don't like seafood, so I didn't eat much, although I did find FRESH smoked tuna that was very good. Unfortunately, our second trip there it wasn't.

    If you like seafood you'd probably give it a 9-10, or say very satisfied, but keep my assessment in perspective since I don't like seafood or fish.

    One buffet item I really liked was a FRESH smoked tuna. It wasn't fishy tasting and was very good.

    As always, the rice was good.

    There are 3 different restaurants in this one big gazebo-like complex, one serving grilled food (open-air restaurant), the other one Mongolian food and the one which I visited serve local food like crispy pata (deep fried pork knuckles), calamari and longganiza (sausage).

    As you can see in the picture, everyone is drinking coconut water juice straight from its source!

    In the garden, there is a small playland for kids.

    Harana is a local term for serenade.

    Top of the Apo: Hotel Restaurant with a View

  • Since I was not able to scale Mt. Apo, I contented myself with viewing it from a distance at the Top of the Apo (restaurant in the uppermost floor of Apo View Hotel, a 5 star hotel).

    The restaurant has unobstructed view of the city and Mt. Apo at a distance. Go and walk near the long glass-panelled windows and experience the sunset or the sunrise there, it's breathtaking.

    Since I had buffet dinner, I was not able to clearly view Mt. Apo. So I suggest you take breakfast there since it opens as early as 5 am and closes at 2 am.

    Buffet of international and local dishes
    Expect durian ice cream too

  • My family's favorite for years but prices have really gone up. To get a good meal, be prepared to shell out 400-500 pesos! Expensive considering that this is in Davao City. Has Sunday buffets.

    California Maki - the best I ever tasted anywhere!

    perched on a ridge overlooking the city, spectacular view of the city lights at night. Adjacent to the restaurant is Kai's, a bar featuring live bands almost nightly and Karlo's Coffee Station, a lovely coffee shop with an outdoor area with superb view of the city.

    grilled specials- spare ribs, chicken, etc
