Davao City’s Vista View: Great Dining Destination and Amazing Panorama In One

Vista View - a great dining destination in Davao City

If you are traveling to Davao looking for dining destinations to try, consider adding Vista View Resto (or simply Vista View) to your list. The restaurant attracts customers – locals and city visitors alike – who want to experience delectable menu items and, at the same time, a place to relax and unwind.

Located in Barangay Langub, Diversion Road, Maa, this unassuming resto is atop a hill, facing the cityscape of Davao, the Davao Gulf, and the Samal Island beyond. The restaurant’s location is just right to see, without obstructions, Davao City in its breathtaking vistas.

How to get there

Vista View - Davao City Hall distance and driving direction

No jeepney franchises ply the diversion road, so the recommended mode of transportation to get there is through a private car or taxi. Approximately 10 km away from the city center, you can expect to pay 200 pesos, give or take, for a taxi ride. Do not worry about getting lost as taxi drivers are familiar with the place. Or, in case the driver does not know, use Google Maps as remedy.

The best time of the day to get there

The best time (for me) to go there is during the late afternoon. The cityscape is more beautiful when the sun is hanging low. Around 5 PM, you have enough time to roam around, take some photographs, and enjoy the panoramic view of the city. And, after exploring the vicinity, you can expect that your food is ready to serve and enjoy your dinner (you can request a specific time that you want them to serve your food, by the way).

Which place/table to choose

Kubo at Vista View Resto
To use this Kubo, you have to spend at least 1,500 pesos for your order. It is the preferred choice of groups that want some privacy, away from the crowd.

The restaurant has a big dining hall, which serves as the focal point of the place. But there are also other areas to choose from if you want to eat with some sense of privacy. With that, you can choose a table under a canopy or their Kubo – ideal for a group of 5-8 people.

Apart from the main dining hall, you may choose this area for your dining – it still offers a panoramic view of the city.
