CT Drive Food Trip

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.

@mydavaocity

Dinner at Made Simple was interesting. Quite memorable. Our favorites are the ENOKI, BURNT TOMATOES, and the MUSHROOM SCALLOPS. We also love the WHISKEY SOUR and the BASIL MARGARITA. Plus, the COMPLIMENTARY BREAD is superb. It’s pricey, yes. But worth the price if you want to splurge but are health-conscious. ????? #MadeSimpleDavao #DavaoFood #MyDavaoCity #enoki #salad #vegetarian #mushroom #whiskeysour #tomatoes #oliveoilcake #margarita #gambas

? Calming and healing Lofi Hiphop(899982) – Oren

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.
