Lotus Court

WHY GO

Lotus Court is all about refinement—the elegant interiors and flavourful Cantonese dishes make it one of Davao’s favourite dining spots.

TATLER TIPS

Aside from the usual Cantonese dishes, Lotus Court has re-invented some classics, which should not be missed: The Yin and Yang fish comes together in almost perfect harmony. Fresh lapu-lapu is fried to a crisp; where one half is coated with a subtle lemon-honey sauce and the other half with a strong tangy flavour. The braised mushroom and tofu dish is simply delicious. The delicate texture of silky enoki mushrooms and creamy home-made tofu could convert even non-vegetarians to the green side. One bite of the sticky, sweet sesame buchi— bursting with dark chocolate—is the ultimate ending.
