Whether we are talking about fashion, music or food, nothing beats the classics. More often than not, the fresh and hip trends are derived from what is thought to be the “good and old”. And this certainly holds true in Dumaguete especially when it comes to food. From being a relatively small city known to be a university town, the place has earned yet another title as a thriving food town.
There’s a new addition to the quaint culinary scene of Dumaguete City, and that’s Cafe Madeleine. Upon entering this cafe along EJ Blanco Drive, Piapi, you’ll be mesmerized with a unique Victorian accent and a bit of rodeo action on the side. There’s always a new antique furniture to discover, a new piece of art to gush over, and a new story to discover in every angle you look inside the cafe. They also have private function rooms for a more intimate experience when dining at Cafe Madeleine. And just when you think the fun stops there, they also have an internet cafe within the cafe.
Good food, good beats, and a good time – three things that describe the grand opening of the City of Gentle People’s newest and hippest hangout. Café Racer Dumaguete opened its doors last July 28, 2016. It is the second branch, the flagship restaurant being in North Reclamation Area, Mandaue City, Cebu. Its jampacked opening night was attended by family, friends, and guests of owner Inaki Yoldi as well as other dining patrons while DJ Arno Van Zanten of Amsterdam delivered the tunes.
When it opened its 154th branch in the City of Gentle People last October 2015, the giant restaurant chain Max’s captured the hearts and taste buds of many Dumaguetenos and Negrenses. Since then, it has become a popular choice of a venue among those celebrating special milestones in their lives. It is now a place where family and friends come together over good food and good times, and that’s why it’s always a feast at Max’s Dumaguete.
Tucked in the heart of Dumaguete City is Ersh Cafe, a quaint, intimate space along Noblefranca Street that is perfect for lazy days and intimate get-togethers. This cozy space almost feels like being inside a warm, vintage New York apartment and will surely steal the hearts of sentimental cafe goers.
