Maya on the Block: ‘Insta-friendly’ dining spot

As dining spots mushroom around Davao City, food preference of Dabawenyos have levelled up.

These days, not only do people favor good food. They also look for a delightful ambiance to go with it. Just the right recipe for an awesome dining experience.

The recently-opened La Venue Davao is always a treat with good food and an awesome interior.

La Venue Davao is not your run-of-the-mill restaurant because inside is a delightful and cozy ambiance packed with instagram-worthy spots waiting to be photographed.

The restaurant carries a traditional French interior style, which is composed of classic elements such as a magnificent glass chandelier and wing-back chairs in brass gold and warm colors. Adding to the Italian feel are the elaborate flower design and Victorian-inspired embellishments.

It is also a treasure chest of the owners’ collections including porcelain cups and saucers, clocks, and Italian furniture.

One can dream of Europe while dining at La Venue. The color play of the interior is as sweet as the well-loved French macarons. It has a dreamy vibe that will make anyone feel like on cloud nine while sipping their favorite drinks or munching their favorite dish.

La Venue offers a taste of authentic Italian full course dining and ala-carte. The main attraction is the Pasta Ala Routa, which is first in Davao City. It is created using the parmesan wheel and prepared in front of the diners. First, the parmesan’s surface is set on fire to lightly melt the first layer of cheese and the chef continues to scrape the center of the wheel to create an indent. After this, the chef mixed al dente pasta right on top of the cheese until it absorbs the heavenly flavor of a parmesan’s soul. The pasta is then plated, but the chef continues to scrape the surface of the cheese, which is then collected and used to top the pasta.

The entire experience only costs 50USD for two persons, which includes a croissant, cake, and drinks.

So, if you are planning a special date night with a loved one or a simple lunch date with friends or perhaps you just want to refresh your palate with an array of flavors, you might want to check out La Venue for their fine dining degustation menu.

La Venue Davao is situated at the compound of Davao Convention Center along F. Torres St.
