As more restaurants are slowly re-opening, one thing is for certain: we’ll be eating outside a lot more often. The spread of coronavirus will most likely be contained if people are in an open space with proper social distancing from each other. For safety and health purposes, this led to the rise in popularity of Al Fresco dining. The term al fresco comes from the Italian which loosely means “in the cool air.” Al Fresco dining is popular in temperate climates. People enjoy Al Fresco dining when the weather is beautiful. The style is casual, yet festive, with a party-like atmosphere. As days pass by, the number of outdoor dining resorts in Davao is growing. One that will adapt this through an authentic dining experience with nature is the Malagos Garden Resort. 

Known for our menu that celebrates local and cultural flavors, warm and comfort your palates with exquisite food while marveling the whimsical beauty of nature. Here are a few reasons to consider this choice. 

A healing and comfort of sorts. Al Fresco lets you dine with fresh air that will help improve your mood by decreasing anxiety and increasing happiness. Spending time outdoors also improves concentration, memory and attention; reduces stress levels; and it may even help you heal faster. The Harvard School of Health, for instance, reports that one study found that “spinal surgery patients experienced less pain and stress and took fewer pain medications during their recoveries if they were exposed to natural light.” So go and take this much needed break with a great selection of food within reach. 

Gives you a chance to slow down and relax. Have you noticed that food simply tastes better when enjoyed outside? The average time most people spend indoors is about 90%. So make sure to soak the warmth of the sun and the beauty of nature once in a while. Soft lighting, chill music and lush greenery all make for the perfect atmosphere suitable for a laidback dinner with friends or dressed-up date night.

Safer dining experience for everyone. Al fresco dining tends to offer lesser cramped areas than indoors. Due to this, proper social distancing will be implemented. Tables and chairs can be spread out and placed properly at a good distance from each other. Customers who are missing dining out and socializing can still experience it at a distance. Alfresco dining is more conducive for conversations or heart-to-heart talks given the open space, open air, and distance. Dining guests also tend to open up more given there’s more comfort and privacy.
