Jack's Ridge in Davao City

I remember the time in College where we would always go up to Lopez heights in Antipolo to drink and be merry. Another thing of beauty in that area was the view of Metro Manila in the evening. Obviously the lights startled me and the vision was quite a sight to see. Another place that is similar to the Lopez heights is the TOPS View in Cebu This time the hillside view of Cebu is smaller and the restaurants fewer. The best place that I have ever went to that showcased a view of the city in the evening (And also in the morning but you can't see the lights) is Jack's Ridge in Davao city.

Desserts and coffee play a big role in making sure that all of us are relaxed. After a sumptous meal at the jack's ridge restaurant, we just crossed by to have a piece of cake and coffee in the nearby coffee shop.

The restaurant even had a nice design as the front door had a japanese statue while inside the restaurant had a stuffed small crocodile that is by the window side. Its a little bit out of theme but nevertheless it still looks nice to see something different.

That is me enjoying my Red Strawberry Cake. By the way the restaurant also has free Wifi access.

Jack's Ridge in Davao City

As the welcome to Jack Ridge says, Experience Davao at Jack's Ridge. The place is at the top of the hills of Davao city and you can definitely see the whole city from atop.  For people who are from Manila it is something similar to the view atop Antipolo or the Tops view in Cebu.

According to some people in davao, Jack's ridge is a place where the Japanese retreated to when the Filipinos and Americans tried to take back the country form their hands.  Below the ridge are caves that the japanese created to be able to hide from the onslaught of the american forces.

Today the only japanese you can see are tourists enjoying the place since the place is a soothing one to have dinner, drinks and fun. Jack's ridge has nice restaurants and hang out points where you can see the whole city's lights.

There is nothing really special about the food in the restaurants , just your usual sisig, inihaw na pusit, tuna belly, blue marlin. Nothing much to brag about the taste of the food. This time its the place that really is important.

If you are a first timer or a person who enjoys admiring great places then Jack's Ridge is a place that you nshjouldnt miss going to when you are in Davao city.
