This is my first time in Davao and my friend brought me to Jack’s Ridge for dinner. First and foremost I can say that the food were all delicious and affordable, then add the accommodating staff and the great view (overlooking Davao City) made my experience with Jack’s Ridge a memorable one. Looking forward to eat in this place again with friends when I come back to Davao. ❤️
2. Claude's Le Cafe de Ville
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 199 reviews
Mediterranean Cuisine. Claude’s serves the best steaks in town. Their steaks are perfectly cooked to the diner’s specifications with a choice of pepper or mushroom sauce. It can also be served with either mashed potatoes, or the more popular choice, rice. Other crowd-drawers are their appetizers, salads and soups. Some appetizers which deserve to be mentioned are their salmon pate and shrimp cocktail. The pate is served with lightly toasted sliced French bread while the cocktail is full of fresh shrimp smothered with light dressing and a helping of tomatoes and avocados. Their ceasar’s salad is also easily one of the best I’ve tasted in the city.

This a quaint restaurant using an old ancestral house well decorated by memorabilia furniture, decors and frames. They serve predominantly french cuisine. I made a reservation here 2 days before our flight to Davao which we planned to have a dinner date with my wife on that day using the hotel official website. They accepted our reservation request through email. On our arrival, a french looking senior guy is already waiting at the front porch to welcome you. Later on we found out that he is the owner of the restaurant. During that weekday night, the restaurant is not really crowded and a nice table for two is well prepared. They will serve you with bread with butter and tomato enchilada, while waiting for your order. The bread is perfect crunch-soft fresh baked. We salad and appetizer - Mussels Marinier which are perfect in taste, We ordered steak and the texture is great with matching tasteful sauce, Pepper sauce and Mushroom sauce. After dining you cant resist to take pictures with the nice house. This is one great restaurants to celebrate specials occasions with your partner, family and friends.

Reviewed By lemmorcv - Las Pinas, Philippines
Outside and inside looks Swiss as you can see Swiss sausages and products are displayed and being sold on the shelves. You may say you are inside a Swiss chalet or inside a small Swiss food shop. But the ambiance is interrupted after you speak to the Filipino staff, of course they are Filipinos and speaks and act as Filipinos. They are nice and friendly though. But if you already been to Switzerland, and have tried to dine in a Swiss restaurant, you will miss the friendly follow up of the restaurant manager to know if the services and food are great.

I went to this new branch at corner Mabini Street and Quirino Ave. I ordered pork barbeque to take out. At 27 pesos each, I asked the waiter, how big is the barbeque, how many can 1 person eat? He suggested 3, so I ordered 12 pieces for our family of 4.
While waiting I sat down, looking around, observing the Waitstaff. A waiter served me a glass of water to drink.
It was a bit early at a little past 5pm. They were preparing for their shifts, some were drinking coffee, and I saw a staff room where they keep their bags and change their clothes or put on their uniform.
Later I saw a waiter help 2 Indian girls looking at the menu and suggested what to try, and I saw him later give them free soup, and the Indian girl was surprised that they did not order soup, so he explained that it was free.
After about 25 minutes I got my order.
I truly appreciate kind and respectful staff.

The restaurant is a little bit hard to find, because it's hidden behind another building (Krisna). So when you step inside, you've got this strange feeling: somehow you'll feel welcome in this warm, cozy, Dutch decorated restaurant! The menu is enormous, so many options, it's...MoreThank you for your nice write up. We are working on the excess and better visibility from the street. Hopefully to be realized within a few months. It was absolutely our pleasure to meet you and welcome you to our (family) establishment. Henny

Mom was craving for Crispy Pata one night so I called different restos and voila! Yellow Fin said they have. So off we went at their F. Torres Street branch. We ordered Crispy Pata, sinigang fish, mixed veggies, fried adobong tuna tail and the seafood platter. Everything was good, mother hugged the crispy pata for herself, as it was really good for 2 sharing... I wish the seafood platter had more fish, there was more bagaybay (fish eggs).
I still recommend Yellow Fin when craving for seafood and you have guests...

We had dinner here recently, and I really enjoyed our dishes highlighting fresh tuna. We started with sashimi, followed by kinilaw na tuna (tuna ceviche) and salmon head in sour broth (sinigang). For the mains we had tuna panga (jaw) and belly. Of the two, both excellent, I was partial to the former. It was full of tasty meat, many hiding in the crevices. Yum!

This was our second time to go to this restaurant and it did not disappoint! The charming chef / owner personally comes out to explain the specials of the week. My husband had the pork tenderloin with Camembert sauce and apples. The combination of the pork with apples and of course a cheese sauce over it made it Over the top yummy!!! I had the healthier poached halibut with white wine sauce which was equally good. We did end up switching plates at some point so that we could enjoy each other's food :) We also shared a savory crepe with side salad as an appetizer (my favorite) and had the decadent chocolate fondue with cream to cap off our evening. Everything was well prepared, yummy and definitely worth the price you pay. Till next time!
