A Dining Destination Like No Other
Hunter's Kitchen has emerged as a top dining destination in Davao City, seamlessly combining a restaurant and bar in one vibrant space. It offers an all-in-one experience for Dabawenyos, serving modern Filipino favorites and Chinese dishes crafted with both tradition and creativity.
From Humble Beginnings to Culinary Success
What started as a small venture selling gourmet jar products in 2019 has grown into one of the city's emerging dining destinations. Last year, Hunter's Kitchen relocated to a new space at Tulip Drive, offering a more refined and inviting atmosphere that reflects its evolving identity as both a restaurant and a bar.
Modern Filipino-Chinese Culinary Concept
The heart of Hunter's Kitchen lies in its modern Filipino-Chinese culinary concept, deeply rooted in family tradition and bold, original flavors. The dishes are inspired by Chinese influences brought to the Philippines and reimagined through a modern Filipino lens. These meals, which the owners grew up with, are now carefully recreated to evoke nostalgia while offering a fresh, contemporary twist.
Unique and Diverse Menu
What sets Hunter's Kitchen apart is its original and diverse menu, featuring items not commonly found elsewhere. From indulgent options like orange lemon chicken and crispy bacon kawali to standout dishes like flavorful flying fried noodles, perfectly tossed for a smoky, savory finish, every plate is designed to impress. Seafood lovers can enjoy salted egg shrimps coated in a creamy salted egg sauce, while the tender beef brisket paired with bone marrow beautifully highlights the seamless blend of modern Filipino and Chinese flavors.
Bar Offerings and Signature Cocktails
Beyond food, Hunter's Kitchen shines as a bar, offering local and international drinks along with a curated selection of original cocktails. Each drink features unique blends and creative flavor pairings. Standout creations include the Coco Verde, a smooth mix of young coconut and vodka; the Tinolang Kabayo, a refreshing take on the classic mule; and the Gumamela Sour, a floral cocktail with hints of amaretto. These are just a few from their signature lineup.
Premium Matcha Experience
Adding to its offerings, Hunter's Kitchen now highlights matcha. The owners personally studied and sourced high-quality matcha directly from farms in Japan, ensuring authenticity. Customers can enjoy single cultivar matcha and signature matcha latte creations, elevating the café aspect of the space.
Commitment to Quality and Consistency
Despite its expansion, Hunter's Kitchen remains committed to standard and consistency. From the kitchen to customer service, the team maintains high standards to ensure quality. This dedication has built a strong and trusted reputation among loyal customers. More than just a dining spot, it positions itself as a complete experience where guests can enjoy flavorful food, quality coffee, premium matcha, and expertly crafted cocktails all in one setting.
Future Expansion
The team continues to draw inspiration from their experiences, constantly creating new dishes and concepts. In exciting news soon to be announced, Hunter's Kitchen plans to open a new branch in downtown Davao City within the year, bringing its signature flavors closer to the heart of the city.
