Chez Nous by Chippens in Davao

There's a new restaurant in Davao that serves dishes inspired by international cuisine but are made with local ingredients. Chez Nous by Chippens is now open at Padre Gomez St. corner Roxas Ave., Davao City. Chez Nous (shey noo) is a French term for "at our home" and it is owned by Chef Chino San Jose, the son of the owners of Chippens Restaurant. Chef Chino invited us to get first dibs on their best dishes, drinks, and desserts.

I would recommend you to try all of the fish dishes above and the rib eye steak. For the dessert, enjoy a big slice of the Triple Layer Chocolate Mousse. It's not too sweet but it's addicting.
