Tola

WHY go

This 1930s ancestral home of Davao’s first municipal mayor has been transformed into a beautiful setting for chef Rob Pengson’s traditional menu of Filipino dishes from Mindanao and its neighbours.

tatler TIPS

New York’s Maharlika and Jeepney lend bartender and restaurateur Enzo Lim to the cocktail bar of Tola. The Bagobo word for fire, “Daba-Daba,” from which Davao is said to derive its name, becomes a coffee libation that’s worth a try here.

• Indulge in the combination of the inasal na bagaybay’s (grilled tuna sacs) deep flavour and texture, or crunch into the meat of a fried tuna tail with the pakfry.

• The clear fish soup tola sits at the top of the soup offerings alongside imbao (clams) and kansi (a Visayan sinigang and bulalo hybrid).
