Brothers Burger with Cheese

Brothers Burger with Cheese

We’ve been obsessing about good burgers. And we have been very excited about the news that the Brothers Burger is opening a branch in Davao City. We were there during it’s first week, and we weren’t disappointed.

Although a bit pricery, I think we got good value for our money. The place is often crowded so getting your order might take some time, but once you take a bite of it, you will definitely not regret it. The Brothers Burger is priced at P105. In exchange, you get a thick piece of grilled 100% beef patty in with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup and mustard in between soft and yummy buns. You can add cheese to the burger by paying an extra P20.

Farfalla is latest Italian restaurant in Davao City. And their unique offering is fresh pasta. But before we proceed to that, let me tell you about their awesome appetizers and soups.

Crostini

Crostini

My favorite thing to order for appetizer is Crostini and Bruschetta (P295). Farfalla offers a list of toppings from which you can choose a maximum of four to have with your bread. I’ve tried Anchovy and Tomato, Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese, Cream Cheese and Spinach, Olive Tapenade, and Parma Ham and Cheese. I loved the Olive Tapenade and the Cream Cheese and Spinach, but my favorite is the Anchovy and Tomato. The saltiness of the anchovy contrast well with the fresh, sour taste of the tomatoes.
