Are you one of those who want to enjoy a eating out with your friends or loved ones on a restaurant that is not overcrowded? Are you one of those who want to eat in a place not exposed to the bustling streets of Cebu? Are you one of those who want to dine out in a cool, calm, and cozy restaurant? Do you want your food to taste so good but you don't have to pay that much? If your answer is YES to all of these questions, you are in luck because there's a restaurant in Cebu that caters to those kind of customers...... 10 Dove Street.
This restaurant was recommended to me by my close friend, Richel Gomez and her sister, Chyrel Gomez, who are also fellow food junkies and food trippers like me. They said all-nice things about this restaurant so I was very curious and excited to taste their food.
The first time I was able to try their food was February 14, 2011. It was obviously Valentine's Day. Hehehe! My boyfriend, Christopher Ngosiok, asked me to have a date with him here. It was a special day so the place was quite full when we arrived. We had to wait for less than 30 minutes to be allowed inside. It was worth all the wait because the food that was served was so delicious!!! On special occasions, they serve food in buffet style which costs around Php 300+ and they don't serve food that is usually found in all-you-can-eat buffets. I forgot the names of the food but all I can remember is how delicious the food was. You will surely say, "Oh my God!" Hehehe! I did say that in the privacy of my own mind. I was in a hurry for my night shift duty so I wasn't able to take photos of the food we ate, so we planned to come back.
We came back to 10 Dove Street last August 5, 2011. I can never forget this date. This date is one of the most memorable in my lifetime because I was able to meet one of the personalities I look up to. I was able to meet, chat, hug, and kiss Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers. I was so "super kilig" that even after we met him, I was still trembling and overwhelmed while having breakfast+lunch+dinner at 10 Dove Street. I could still smell Gerry's perfume on my jacket and I would be "super kilig" upon smelling it again and again. Hahahaha!!! This time, I had all the luxury to take photos because at that time, we were the only customers. Hehehe! Solong-solo namin ang place!!! Hahaha! Good food! Good time! Good life!
HOW WILL I GET THERE?
It is located in Sto. Nino Village, Banilad, Cebu City. You can walk from the guard house to the restaurant but I recommend that you just take your car or ride a taxi on your way there if you don't want to be sweaty when you arrive. The guard will tell you where to turn so you'll arrive to your destination in no time.
HOW WILL I KNOW I'M IN THE RIGHT PLACE?
Once your car or taxi have turned left from the entrance of Dove Street, you will see house number 10 with a cute box-shaped space beside it. Here are some photos.

| What a cute place!!! |
Once you've seen these with your own two eyes, you'll know you're in the right place! What's left for you to do now? Go and get inside immediately!!!
WHAT'S IN THE MENU?
As what was written on the cover of the menu, you can savor their gourmet sandwiches in either white bread or wheat bread and you get to choose your soup, salad, and a slice of their scrumptious cake, all for Php 190.00!!! I've photographed the menu for your convenience.
WHAT DID YOU ORDER?
For our salad, we tried Finding Nemo and Chicken Mango. For our sandwiches, we tried Maharanee. For our soup, we tried French Onion and Chicken & Asparagus. For our cakes, we tried Ube and Fruit Medley. For our drinks, we had Sola Apple Green Tea and Sola Lemon Iced Tea. While waiting for your orders, you will be served bread stix to munch on. All of them are so delicious!!! Take my word for it!!! Here are photos of food.
