Food offers the most genuine window into a place’s culture and character. For travelers, this makes exploring local cuisine an essential part of any journey. When staying in Cebu, whether for leisure or a quick business trip, visitors now have a new destination to experience local and global flavors. DAVOS, an all-day dining restaurant located at Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan, officially launches on April 15, 2026.
Conveniently situated just two to three minutes from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, DAVOS provides an ideal first stop for travelers arriving in Cebu or a satisfying final meal before departure. Its accessibility and diverse menu make it a practical and appealing dining option for both hotel guests and walk-in diners.
A Celebration of Coastal Filipino Cuisine
The name DAVOS is inspired by the Cebuano word dabos, which means abundance. This concept reflects the restaurant’s focus on Cebu’s rich marine biodiversity and culinary heritage. Guests can expect a menu that highlights coastal comfort food, combining authentic Filipino flavors with international influences.
The restaurant is spearheaded by Executive Chef Marcel Ramos, who introduces his signature approach to cooking. He shares, “My philosophy centers on what I call Coastal Filipino. My expertise is heavily influenced by Cebu’s iconic Sinuglaw, where dishes that I create reflect vibrant regional flavors expressed through thoughtful technique and a balanced interplay of savory, acidic, and umami notes.”
This philosophy is evident in DAVOS’ signature dishes, including Shrimp Inasal, Beef and Mash, Crispy Pork Belly, Soy Glazed Grilled Chicken, and Ube Burnt Cheesecake. While these dishes may appear familiar, each one is carefully crafted to showcase culinary heritage while adapting to modern tastes.
Dining Experience and Signature Offerings
DAVOS operates daily from 6 am to 10 pm and accommodates both hotel guests and walk-in diners. The restaurant features a modern and warm ambiance, with a seating capacity of up to 87 guests. Its relaxed and inviting atmosphere makes it suitable for group dining, casual meetups, and social gatherings.
One of its standout experiences is Beer Hour, which combines drinks, food, and entertainment. Guests can enjoy unlimited beer cocktails such as Summer Beer, Beer Mosa, or Shandy Beer, served by the glass or pitcher. Each order includes a choice of savory pica pica, including Spiced Chicken Croquette, Tokwa’t Baboy, Squid Crackers, or French Fries.
The restaurant also hosts themed events for guests looking for a lively dining experience. Beer Hour Acoustic Nights take place from 5 pm to 8 pm on May 30, June 13, and July 4, 2026. Meanwhile, Beer Hour Extension Trivia and Game Nights are scheduled from 7 pm to 10 pm on May 15, June 12, and July 17, 2026.
For those seeking a more traditional dining setup, DAVOS offers a breakfast buffet from 6 am to 10 am. The spread includes Filipino and other Asian dishes, along with fresh pastries, fruits, and beverages. Lunch and dinner are served à la carte, featuring Continental and Mediterranean selections prepared with high-quality ingredients and balanced flavors.
Convenient Dining and Event Options
In addition to DAVOS, guests can visit The Market, a 24/7 grab-and-go outlet within Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan. It offers a curated selection of sandwiches, salads, pastries, beverages, and local favorites, providing a convenient option for travelers in need of quick meals. Available items include fresh fruit cups, a fudgy revel bar, and a classic chocolate chip cookie.
The hotel also caters to private events such as birthdays, business meetings, and other special occasions. Clients can arrange customized coffee breaks, as well as lunch and dinner setups tailored to their needs. For larger gatherings, buffet catering options are also available.
