Places to eat in Davao City

They serve Native chicken Barbecue, pork barbecue, grilled seafood. kinilaw (raw fish in vinegar dressing), soup. The place has no airconditioning but is clean. Food is only cooked upon ordering.

Favorite Dish: They serve the best Native Chicken Barbecue in Town. Be sure to ask for the marinade sauce when they serve you the chicken. Add soy sauce and kalamansi and dip the chicken in. Yum! eat while its hot. Try the imbao soup & the lato salad (sea weeds).

Food was good, the front part of the resturant is buffet style, however if you walk to the back it is resturant style w/air conditioning. Menu goes from steak to seafood and all was well. Inexpensive as well.

Favorite Dish: spicy shrimp as well as the mixed seafood soup, enough for three or four.

Fast service, extensive menu, attentive waiters, fresh SEAFOOD.

If you think that's your cup of tea then go to Ahfat.

They have branched out to several outlets nearby to accommodate the growing demand for Ahfat's dishes.

They accept credit cards and are open . You have a choice between frozen lobster or fresh-swimming-in-the-tank ones. :)

Favorite Dish: Crispy noodle.

This is absolutely the best coffee house in Davao City. The help is very friendly and helpful. The food and the coffee are simply great. It is also a very quite and relaxing place to go. The decor is very pleasing and t's very very clean. The Civit coffee is great.
I highly recommend this place. I'm from the USA and I make it a point to visit here every time we come to visit. The US coffee shops can't even come close to this place.

Favorite Dish: The coffee is the best.

Kanaway-Ecoland doesn't exist anymore. The place was changed to Emer's Hotel and Resort. The sea shore was blocked by a wall already. We didn't eat there, we just inspectd the place coz its not the same as desrcibed in 2005, in the previous review.

The ambience is cozy, you will feel that you are in the local area. It was fully packed, we have to stand up after our dinner to give way to new comers.

Favorite Dish: Tuna kilawin is like tuna sashimi but in vinegar. The tinolang isda with "kulot-kulot" is intriguing but the "Kulot-kulot" was not available, we ordered it just the same, with same price. Our dinner for five cost P605; tinola, kinilaw and crispy pata. Unlimited rice for p15 each.

They serve local and international dishes. The resto is located on the Ground floor of Victoria Mall.
The crew are nice and well trained... the service is quick. Most important of all is that their ladies room is clean and well kept.

Favorite Dish: I liked their durian smoothie and the pesto isn't bad. :)

This is touted to be one of the best in local cuisine.
They are reputed to serve the best grilled native chicken in the city so I just had to try it.
Toryano's is located in front of the Apo View Hotel and next door to D'Counter Executive Dormitory. The place is clean and the food crew neat. They have all-rice-you-can-eat promo. They have a crew who walks around the resto with a rice basket ready to top your plate as often as you want. :)

Favorite Dish: The grilled native chicken was a little tougher than the broiler but it was more flavorful. the marinade was nothing fancy so the natural flavors of the meat dominated the food. I ordered their grilled pork which was also served simply. The imbao (mangrove clam, Anodontia edentula) soup was interesting (the restaurant orders it from General Santos everyday). They also serve beers and other alcoholic drinks.

All the food served in Toryano's can be shared by two persons so the price isn't so bad... in fact it is dang reasonable. I had a hard time finishing everything I ordered since I went to dinner alone... BTW, the resto is safe for lone women travelers. Most patrons are yuppies and family units out to have a good, filling meal or maybe a couple of bottles of ice cold beer before heading home from work.
