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.

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.

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.

Blue Pearl Meat Restaurant: Next on your Gastronomic Bucketlist

There is a new Korean restaurant in town and its gaining popularity fast. The Blue Pearl Meat Restaurant is located along Hibbard Avenue, Tugas, Piapi. It is situated right by the Korean Church. It’s easy enough to spot, especially with an enormous signage right outside the restaurant. Blue Pearl is actually the fourth branch of the Pearl Meat Shop which first opened its doors in AS Fortuna, Mandaue City. It’s two other branches, both located in Cebu, are also widely-known and well-loved by foodies both Korean and Filipino. So imagine my delight when I learned that one of my favorite Korean restaurants from Cebu was branching out to none other than Dumaguete City.
