FOOD offers the most genuine window into a place’s culture and character. Hence, the rule of thumb for traveling is to always savor the local cuisine. When staying in Cebu, no matter if it’s a leisure-driven stay or a quick business trip, visitors can find flavor adventures at the newest dining spot, DAVOS. It’s an all-day restaurant exclusively available at Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan, grand launching this April 15, 2026.
The restaurant is just two to three minutes from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, making it an ideal place for one’s first taste of Cebu’s amazing food right after landing, or a delicious send-off before takeoff.
The name is inspired by the Cebuano word dabos, which means abundance. This restaurant is a nod to Cebu’s rich marine biodiversity, so expect to relish in coastal comfort with a blend of authentic Filipino tastes and international favorites.
Spearheaded by the property’s Executive Chef Marcel Ramos, he shared, “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 can be savored in the restaurant’s signature menu items, such as Shrimp Inasal, Beef and Mash, Crispy Pork Belly, Soy Glazed Grilled Chicken, and Ube Burnt Cheesecake. While familiar to the eyes, each meal conveys culinary heritage, but reimagined for the modern palate.
DAVOS is open from 6 am to 10 pm daily, serving both hotel and walk-in guests. All diners are welcomed with a modern, warm ambiance, and up to 87 pax seating capacity. It especially makes a great dining scene for groups because of its laid-back charm and comfortable spaces.
In fact, there’s Beer Hour to try and exciting activities for entertainment. Guests can enjoy unlimited beer cocktails (Summer Beer, Beer Mosa, or Shandy Beer served by the glass or pitcher) with one choice of savory pica pica (Spiced Chicken Croquette, Tokwa’t Baboy, Squid Crackers, or French Fries).

As for other gastronomic get-togethers, the breakfast buffet from 6 am to 10 am features a wealth of Filipino and other Asian dishes, fresh pastries, fruits, and beverages. Meanwhile, lunch and dinner menu selections are served à la carte style, featuring Continental and Mediterranean cuisine with high-quality ingredients and well-balanced flavors.
And since Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan’s signature is simple, comfortable stays, guests who need fresh, quick snacks can drop by at The Market, which is open 24/7. Find convenience with its curated selection of sandwiches, salads, pastries, beverages, and local favorites—a traveler’s best option when looking for a hassle-free bite. Some offerings include fresh fruit cups, a fudgy revel bar, and an all-time favorite chocolate chip cookie.
When planning a private event, look no further, and easily book a venue at the hotel. Birthdays, business meetings, and other occasions are all welcome, with services such as customized coffee breaks, lunch, and dinner arrangements tailored to the client’s requirements. But if a full-on catering is needed, there’s lunch and dinner buffet, too.
Overall, DAVOS offers a calm, contemporary oceanside ambiance with cool blues and earth tones reminiscent of the oceanside. Together with Chef Marcel’s leadership, the restaurant provides an inviting space for connection, with thoughtfully prepared dishes embodying Filipino hospitality.
DAVOS, The Market, and all meeting rooms are located on the 4th floor, where the hotel lobby is also situated. For more information and hotel reservations, visit Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan.
