The evolution that's rocking and rolling the restaurant industry is happening everywhere, and Davao is no exception. The dining landscape alongside lifestyle changes and the rise of culinary and restaurant management experts - they all contribute to the increasing number and diversity of the dining establishments found in Davao city.
One will not find it difficult to chance upon food business owners we now call "restopreneurs" ( restaurateur and entrepreneur rolled into one ).
Thee are plenty of remarkable trends among diners that we can notice. We see a lot of younger and more adventurous diners nowadays. In the past, we would see only families, businessmen and young professionals, now there's a steady influx of students and group of friends. That syas a lot about the restaurant business, particularly in Davao.
Much has change. you can count with one hand the number of specialty restaurants around back then. you wouldn't find much international cuisines except for a few Chinese, spanish, or Italian. Now restaurants are opening here and there, each offering its own type of cuisine, both authentic and fusion.
Diners in Davao, are becaoming more adventurous when it comes to food. Also, they are more willing to spend on food.
Davao has a history of being a grill or barbecue town when it comes to food. But this time, there's a break from that pattern, as seen by the sprouting of concept shops and fusion restaurants.
Aside from the local residents in Davao who love to dine out, diners from all over the Philippines keep the restaurant business alive.
Today, Davaoeños experiment more on foods inspired by different cultures.
