Village Connect
POV: You are in the King City of the South for the 38th Kadayawan sa Davao. After celebrating with the locals and joining the #VibrantKadayawan festivities, you are hungry and searching for a good place to eat.
And where are the best places to dine? At SM City Davao and SM Lanang! Whether it’s your first time visiting the destination or you’ve been here multiple times, there are always new and #AweSM restaurants that are ready to serve you scrumptious dishes. Check them out below:
Our next stop for more great tasting menus is SM Lanang.
BISTRO SELERA
2nd Level, Main Mall, SM Lanang Premier
One local restaurant that deserves your visit is Selera Bistro. Here, you can taste the unique flavors of Davao on your plate may it be indoors or outdoors.
The chef puts a spin on the classic dishes to make sure you treat your taste buds to something delectable—like the Suha Salad, pomelo tossed in locally grown herbs with special fish sauce dressing.
Another must-try is Selera’s Bagaybay, a tuna course wrapped in homemade bacon and drizzled with garlic oil, and Bistek Selera which is a grilled beef tenderloin marinated in herbs and spices and topped with battered onions, before being served with bone marrow gravy.
There’s also Torch Eggplant, Seafood Durian Curry, and Chopsuey with Fried Noodles. There’s really food for every mood! Wash these all down with their freshly-juices and fruit shakes.
TUNA EXPRESS KAMAYAN GRILLS
Location: 2nd Level, Skygarden, SM Lanang
Davao is known for its ocean-fresh catches, especially the city’s pride, tuna. At Tuna Express Kamayan Grills, you have to try the Grilled Tuna Belly and Grilled Tuna Panga which have a nice char and are best dipped in soy sauce with calamansi.
Other recos are Sizzling Tuna Sisig, Grilled Scallops, Calamares, Tuna Salpicao, and Tuna Kinilaw that you can eat with Guso or Lato on the side. Not a big fan of seafood? Opt for Tuna Express Kamayan Grills’ Bulalo with Bone marrow instead which is equally savory and filling.
THE NYC UPTOWN
SM Lanang 1st Level, North Wing
Welcome to New York, it’s been waiting for you! Feel the ~vibes~ of the Big Apple at The NYC Uptown, an aesthetic restaurant located at the North Wing of SM Lanang Premier.
The visually-pleasing interiors are nice to look at while you munch on their Unli Chicken Wings with 13 signature flavors, like Hickory BBQ, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Parmesan, Buffalo, and Salted Egg.
These “best-tasting” eat-all-you-can wings in Davao come with cheese, garlic mayo, honey mustard, and ranch dips for only P399, and the promo also includes unlimited rice and unlimited drinks.
Yup, you’ve read that right! You also can’t miss out on their fall-off-the-bone Baby Back Ribs. If you’re visiting The NYC Uptown for some light snacks, take your pick from their New York-style hotdogs and cheesecakes (we can’t stop thinking about their Chelsea Caramel slice!).
OUT OF NOWHERE KITCHEN
3rd Level, SM Lanang
Out of Nowhere Kitchen offers a wide array of food choices with generous serving and quality ingredients that’s truly worth your money. For starters, order the Korean fried chicken, a Crispy Fried Chicken with special Korean sweet soy sauce drizzled with cheese.
From their grilled selections try their Beef Kebab, ground beef mixture of herbs and spiced Persian style with hummus and yogurt sauce. Each dish is infused with a variety of flavors to complete the unique dining experience. Every bite is definitely a feast!
ROADHOUSE CAFE
Ground Level, Main Mall, SM City Davao
From its first branch in Bukidnon, Roadhouse Cafe brings in their rustic style and fine dining cuisine to Davao. Take a feast on their premium USDA Rib Eye steaks grown from their local farm and a delectable Seafood Basket- a combination of shrimp, squid, fish fillet, and vegetable will surely please your taste buds when you try some.
For more meaty comfort food, we highly recommend the Kare-Kare, Sinigang Pork Kawali, Steamed Pompano with lime sauce and Musuan Peak Green Salad, to taste the best Davaoeño version of these Filipino foods.
At SM City Davao and SM Lanang, the food fare is so good you’ll definitely come back for it! Explore these highly recommended eats and experience #VibrantKadayawanAtSM. Get updates on the celebration + new dining spots when you follow SM Supermalls on Facebook, Tiktok, Twitter, and Instagram.
