Overwhelmed by the many new food spots in Davao? Let us take you on a CT Drive Food Trip featuring some of our favorite spots and dishes.
About CT Drive
Carlos Villa-Abrille Drive (also CVA Drive, formerly Tulip Drive) used to be a quiet space with a few residences and a handful of establishments. With the opening of The Compound, CT Drive, and several other commercial spaces, CVA Drive is now bustling with activity and a must-visit place for foodies.
Located along the CVA Drive is CT Drive, a food, drinks, and lifestyle destination.
It is home to food and non-food establishments. You can get an enjoyable day of pampering and self-care with visit to CT Drive.
Here are our favorite food spots to satisfying your cravings.
Made Simple
Perhaps the most popular at CT Drive is Made Simple.
MADE SIMPLE Davao offers a vegetable-forward dining experience. They serve Small Plates and Dishes for Sharing, mostly vegan dishes. Seafood and chicken options are available. Made Simple is best experienced with an open appreciation for their vegetable-forward dishes.
First, start your meal with an appetizer. We love their Enoki. The mushroom is crisp and tasty. And the dipping sauce perfectly complements the mushroom.
Then, enjoy a salad. The Figs and Mushroom Salad is delicious and filling. Just the right balance of flavors and textures.
You can opt for the Pulpo or Gambas for your entree. But we prefer feasting on their Burnt Tomatoes with chevre. Or enjoy the mind-bending Mushroom Scallops served with Pesto Butter.
They also serve wine and cocktails. We love the Whiskey Sour and the Basil Margarita.

Dulce Desserts
DULCE DESSERTS Davao at CT Drive serves scrumptious desserts. Try some with their coffee for an enjoyable sweet experience.
Their Viennoiserie and Croissants are super flaky and buttery. The Blueberry Danish is also must-try. The cookies are chewy and one is enough to satisfy your sweet craving.
Honeycomb Latte was ok but a bit too sweet.
Their cookies are ok. The White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies are what we recommend. Dulce Desserts is also popular for their flaky and buttery Kouign Amann. We look forward to trying more of their sweet treats.
