Davao's Vegan

Vegan Hygienic Foodhaus along Quimpo Blvd.

Looking for a vegan restaurant in Davao is not very easy. There are a handful of restaurants claiming to be vegetarian – friendly but as far as I know, there is only one that serves purely vegetarian dishes. Well, it has two branches—one in Bo. Obrero, and the other one in Quimpo Boulevard near John Paul College of Davao.

I inquired about the place because I have business associates who are vegetarian and they don’t want to be served anything when we go to our meetings in restaurants.

So, there I went looking for a restaurant that would cater to the needs of a vegetarian.  With the help of the ever so useful internet, I found one. Actually, two but of the same name: Vegan Hygienic Foodhaus. One in Bo. Obrero, and the other one, along Quimpo Blvd. Since the latter was more accessible to me, I checked it out.

It’s a small homely restaurant that can cater to more or less 20 persons. There, the owner herself, Mrs. Neng Eresma , accommodated me.

For the information of anyone interested: they serve organic vegetable dishes. The vegetables are sourced locally, but they also have their own farm here in Davao. They also make their own noodles. pure wheat bread. I tried their halo-halo, which also tasted good. They also make their own ice cream: mango, durian, ube, carob (which I learned is a substitute of cacao for a chocolate, which is sourced from other countries). They make their fresh fruit and vegetable juices upon order.

The restaurant is close on Saturday’s, and open on Sunday’s.
