#WonderfulMindaNOW: Top 10 Must-Visit Restaurants and Cafes in Davao
In my previous post entitled “
#LifeIsHere: Exploring the Beauty of Davao in 10 Days“, I expressed my plan of going around the different places in our city to search for the best spots that truly make Mindanao a wonderful place to live in. The 10-day adventure I mentioned in the said blog entry was part of the #WonderfulMindaNOW project spearheaded by Globe. This project aims to spark the youth’s pride for Mindanao and ignite their desire to “live in the now”.
I’m going to share to you my list of the Top 10 Must-Visit Restaurants and Cafes in Davao City (in no particular order).
Red Corner Burger Cafe
“Smokin Joe Frazier of Red Corner Burger Cafe. ❤️ 1/2 pound 100% beef charboiled juice patty served with fresh lettuce and tomato on an oatmeal bun… Topped with cheese sauce, caramelized onions, sautéed mushroom, country fried bacon and drizzled with smokey barbeque sauce.”
Jelly Citea
“Let Jelly Citea’s creamy specials bring you to different places around the world. Choose from Paris, New York, Manila, Macau, Bangkok, Taipei and Tokyo. ❤️ You can visit their branches at Juan Luna St. and Matina Town Square.”
Mini Air Dog Cafe
“Treat your furry bestfriend at Davao’s first dog-friendly cafe.. And get a chance to meet the owners’ adorable pets! Thank you to Sir Rommel Gigato for giving me a quick tour at your 3-month old Mini Air Dog Cafe. I’ll bring my baby Lindsay next time.”
Yellow Hauz
“Enjoy your favorite cup of coffee at the comfort of your second home… Visit Yellow Hauz at V. Mapa St. for homemade coffee and pastries.”
Bhadjia Grilled Pizza
“New in Davao: Bahjia Grilled Pizza located at Bonifacio St. 🙂 Everyone loves their Great White Pizza but my personal fave is Pepperoni flavor. Another must-try order from them is Bhajia (a popular African snack) with Kachumbari sauce.”

Davao is really a haven for food lovers. Great restaurants. Basta, if ever magawi ako dyan, i'll try to visit at least 5 of these food houses.

I think, your choices of restaurants are great and really awesome.
The grilled pizza caught my interest. It looks like Mindanao is a promising place for gastronomic adventure seekers. Those cake slices from Dulce Vida really made me drool! Yummy! (Kahit bawal)
sop my pet dogs has a place to cool down. Ayos ang Mini Air Dog Cafe sa kanila. Who knows ma-meet na ng Blue Marle ko ang 'soulmate' nya. ha, ha,ha…
I haven't been to Davao for quite some time now. I'll take a note of this list on my next visit there.
Davao is really the "it" place these days! I love the gastronomical treats that await every visitors. I can't help but stare at the pictures of the Mini Air Dog cafe you posted. We love Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma (the white friend of Rilakkuma) so much and saw so many of them on the pic. Not to mention, the cutie furry pal looks like my Millie when she's on her summer shave look. 🙂 I might visit Dulce Vida too. Who says no to sumptuous cakes? Not me! 🙂
8 out of ten! yey! Must go to balik bukid and kalakoa soon! :))
