Here’s a Davao dining tip you’ll want to save for your next lunch break: Café Uno at Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao now serves a full-blown international buffet every weekday for just ₱899.
Available Monday to Thursday, 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM, this quiet yet refined lunch spot is perfect for midweek resets—whether you’re in between meetings, catching up with friends, or just feel like spoiling yourself a little.
What to Expect: Global Flavors, Hotel-Level Comfort

Café Uno’s weekday buffet features a curated selection of international dishes, all freshly prepared and neatly laid out in a cozy, air-conditioned dining space with hotel service. Think elevated lunch break with just the right amount of indulgence.
And if you’re like me and love spotting something surprisingly good in a buffet line? You’ll want to circle back to their Salpicao Station. Rich, garlicky, and perfectly seasoned—this one deserves its own spotlight. Plus, you can choose how you cook it; what to add, how much garlic, and see it cooked in front of you.

Why This Buffet Stands Out

It’s not just about the price (although ₱899 for hotel dining is a rare find in Davao). It’s the vibe. You’re surrounded by greenery, ocean breeze nearby, and none of the chaos of a weekend crowd. There’s space to breathe. To talk. To taste.
Whether you’re flying solo, hosting a client, or just dodging the lunch rush at mall restos, Café Uno gives you space to slow down—without splurging.
Book It Before It Blows Up
With Davao’s growing food scene, this feels like a pre-viral gem. A hotel buffet at that price, served on weekdays? It won’t stay low-key for long.
So go ahead, pencil in that lunch meeting. Or make one up. You deserve it.
