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.

Falling for Madeleine
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.
Cafe Racer Goes Full Throttle in Dumaguete

Always a Feast at Max’s
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.

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.
