À la carte, a French loan phrase meaning “According to the menu” designates a menu where items are listed and priced separately, usually with a greater amount of choice than a fixed price menu or buffet. When a dish at a restaurant is offered a la carte, it means the dish is ordered individually. It is not a part of a larger meal or a course of dishes.That’s because the defining characteristic of an a la carte menu item is that it’s served differently—separately—from the way the dish is offered on the restaurant’s full menu. 

If you are looking for a place to stay which offers this deal, the Malagos Garden Resort will soon be reopening our doors. A place where you can enjoy not only safer and sustainable experiences with nature but also gastronomic experiences like no other. An addition to our services to you are a la carte selections perfect for weekend snacks or dinner at the resort. 

The choice is all yours. Ordering our a la carte meals means that you’ll be able to pick and choose exactly what you want from the menu. Going à la carte is a little trickier than opting for the set menu since it means that you need to make every decision for yourself, but it can be a good choice for foodies who know their way around their own palates. With Malagos’ menu, you will surely enjoy the symphony of homegrown flavors along with the delicate twist of modern taste. A must try are the Kinilaw na Isda with U.S. Black Beans, Pork Humba with Malagos Chocolate, and for the dessert, one molten lava cake to cap it all off.   

You get to experiment with what you’re eating. You'll be able to choose dishes from a large selection, then decide which sides, garnishes, and drinks would best complement them. Whether you want to indulge a certain fancy or display your knowledge to fellow diners, going à la carte is a perfect option. Mix and match your favorites with Malagos and you can never go wrong. From the world’s best drinking chocolate to farm fresh produce used in every dish, taking another bite after the other can be quite irresistible. We have exciting dishes like the Salad Dabawenyo and Birdwatcher Pizza that you don’t want to miss. Curious about the taste? Try one and you won’t be disappointed, that’s for sure. For a richer and creamier dessert, the Tableya Cheesecake is a great choice.  

You can order any beverage you want. Often the beverage part of a menu is considered a la carte, given that drinks are ordered separately. A beverage menu is inherently a la carte in that sense. They can be any type of beverage menu, too. From a wine list to a cocktail menu, the choice is all yours. In Malagos Garden Resort, whatever the weather is, we have the perfect beverage prepared for you. From healthy options like Mango Malunggay and Orange Carrot shake all the way to a cup of locally made chocolate, everything is a matter of what you want or not. Craving sodas and cocktails? We also have some in store for you. 

The Malagos Garden Resort food is unlike any other. Which is why it is tagged by most as the best food in Davao and is one of the first places that comes to mind when asked with “where to eat in Davao.” More than a trove of culinary specialties that perfectly capture the Malagos homegrown flavors, we also have exciting activities in store for you.
