DAVOS at Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan is now open, offering contemporary local cuisine with modern flair just minutes from the airport.
Food remains one of the most immediate ways to understand a place—its pace, its people, and its palate. In Cebu, where coastal culture shapes everyday life, dining becomes more than a routine; it becomes an introduction.
Now open at Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan, DAVOS is the property’s all-day dining destination, officially launched on April 15, 2026. Located just minutes from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, the restaurant positions itself as both a first taste and a final send-off—equally fitting for arrivals seeking immediacy and departures craving something memorable.
Named after the Cebuano word dabos, meaning abundance, DAVOS draws from the island’s rich marine and culinary heritage. The concept leans into what Executive Chef Marcel Ramos describes as “Coastal Filipino”—a cuisine shaped by local tradition but refined through modern technique. “My approach is grounded in Cebu’s iconic sinuglaw,” he shares. “It’s about balance—bringing together savory, acidic, and umami elements in a way that feels both familiar and elevated.”
This philosophy comes through in a menu that reworks comfort dishes with intention. Standouts include Shrimp Inasal, Crispy Pork Belly, Soy-Glazed Grilled Chicken, and Beef and Mash, alongside a quietly indulgent Ube Burnt Cheesecake. The selections feel recognizable yet considered—anchored in heritage, but calibrated for a more contemporary palate.
Open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., DAVOS accommodates both hotel guests and walk-ins within a warm, modern space that seats up to 87. The atmosphere is relaxed but polished—suited for everything from casual meetups to group gatherings. Evenings take on a more social rhythm with Beer Hour, where guests can opt for unlimited beer cocktails—think Summer Beer, Beer Mosa, or Shandy—paired with pica-pica such as spiced chicken croquettes, tokwa’t baboy, squid crackers, or fries.
Select dates extend the experience with Acoustic Nights and Trivia Evenings, offering a more curated take on after-hours dining:
Beer Hour Acoustic Nights (5 p.m. to 8 p.m.)
May 30, June 13, July 4
Beer Hour Trivia and Game Nights (7 p.m. to 10 p.m.)
May 15, June 12, July 17
By day, the restaurant shifts into a more classic hotel dining cadence. Breakfast runs as a buffet from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., featuring Filipino staples alongside Asian selections, fresh pastries, fruits, and beverages. Lunch and dinner transition into an à la carte offering that blends Continental and Mediterranean influences—executed with the same emphasis on balance and quality.
For guests on tighter schedules, The Market—open 24/7 within the property—offers a more immediate option. Its selection of ready-to-go sandwiches, salads, pastries, and local favorites caters to travelers who prefer convenience without compromising on quality. Think fresh fruit cups, fudgy revel bars, and classic chocolate chip cookies within easy reach.
Beyond dining, the hotel also accommodates private functions, from intimate celebrations to business gatherings. Event spaces can be paired with customized coffee breaks, plated meals, or full buffet setups, depending on the occasion.
At its core, DAVOS is designed as a space for both pause and connection. With interiors that echo the coast through cool blues and grounded textures, and a menu that reflects Cebu’s evolving culinary identity, it offers a dining experience that feels considered without being overstated.
DAVOS, along with The Market and the hotel’s event spaces, is located on the fourth floor of Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan. For reservations and more information, guests may visit the hotel’s official website.
