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

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.

Ersh Cafe

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.

Where does good food come from?

A lot of people are in a constant quest for good food. New restaurants open here and there offering a variety of meals inspired by Oriental, Mexican, Italian, Korean, Greek cooking and so on, but sometimes our taste buds remain insatiable. And sometimes, the food made available in these restos are highly commercialized. This is exactly why some people take it upon themselves to cook up their own meals rather than to eat out. On a personal note, I believe that a generously prepared home meal is always twice as good as a meal cooked in a chaotic restaurant kitchen no matter how many stars it may have. But, lucky for us foodies here in Dumaguete, there is a new place, nestled within the outskirts of the city where one can find gourmet pizzas, burritos, spaghetti, carbonara, sandwiches and a whole lot more, cooked with precision and passion in a kitchen built with love.

Deliciously Healthy and Guilt Free Eating at the Lokal Organic Cafe

“You are what you eat” so they say. If this were so, then most of us here in Dumaguete would probably be tocino, lechon manok, liempo, or some fancy dish from one the restos here. You see, when you roam the streets of Dumaguete almost every corner has a “manokan”, karinderya or “tocinohan” apart from the numerous fancy restos and coffee shops scattered all over the city. However, nestled just 2 blocks away from the Belfry is a food hub that offers something new, unique and oh so fresh. It’s among the few restaurants here that cater to foodies who prefer local and organic meals. The place is definitely a haven for those who like to eat fresh and healthy food, hence its name Lokal Organic Cafe.
