Oh, before I forget, Del Monte offers refillable pineapple juice! hehehe! And order their specially bakesd bread. Its sweet and really good! You can either have that or rice.
We were still trying to find out the specialty of Cagayan De Oro when we passed this restaurant called Vienna Kaffehaus near the Divisoria area. Its an austrian restaurant. I ordered the baby back ribs and it was so good!!!! To think it was only P170. Krissy ordered the Pasta Aglio which was equally tasty. The herbed chicken was so so.
For those who are more adventurous, you can try eating in the Night Cafe. The Divisoria area is closed every Friday and Saturday nights. They have night market, ukay-ukay and there are different stalls serving sugba (ihaw). This is CDO style gimmick! Its like a street party. My friends were able to buy nice blouses ranging from P50 to P120 each. Just take note that these are second hand clothes though.
For coffee lovers and who wants to feel the ambience of home, go to Gazebo Cafe. It gives you the feeling of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf but they have better sandwiches. :-) I tried the ham and cheese in pesto spread. YUMMY! Their coffee is good too. The place gives you a homey feeling. For those who needs a feel of home/ Manila coffee house once in a while, have an hour or two in Gazebo Cafe. They offer wifi connection too. Plus for those who likes to shop around for different small items, they have a small shop beside it. 
After having a big meal at the Del Monte Plantation, we headed to Sentro in the CDO city for dessert. This resto was a let down for me though. The chocolate mirror cake was a bit dry and the mango shake tasted like milk with very little mangoes. I think you can do better than going to Sentro.
There's a small diner beside Casa Crystalla called Mom's Corner. We had daing na bangus for breakfast which was only 1/4 of a bangus and was bland. For the same cost of P80, you can head to Jollibee just arround the corner from Mom's Corner and get their daing an bangus meal. The suman and mangga breakfast was good though.
Oh, the best meal for me in Cagayan De Oro was in Jo's Chicken Inato (their version of the Chicken Inasal). This resto is like a grill on the same street as Gaisano Mall, its on Corrales Ave. Ext. Don't forget to order their 3 specialties. The chicken inato, CDO's finest at only P70! Don't forget to order extra rice. They also have the pancit and buko halo-halo. The buko halo-halo is literally mixed inside the coconut. Very good dessert! Don't eat it alone though. One serving is good for 2 people.On our last day in CDO, we had lunch at Consuelo's. They have an eat all you can buffet for P49 and P99. The P99 is worth it since there are about 10 dishes and 3 desserts. BUT!!! Watch out for their pet RAT! Seriously!!! I got freaked out by this black huge rat running around the restaurant. Its unbelievable! I won't go back to that restaurant even if the food is only P99. Who knows where the rat came from!
Our last dinner was in this quaint, cozy and yummy italian restaurant called La Tegola Cucina Italiana. The first branch is in Cebu. I think they have 4 branches there and one in CDO. I had a lasagna and it was pretty good. The tortellini in mushroom cream sauce and 4 seasons pizza are also good. The lamb, their specialty, is also a must have.For those who are still looking for coffee shops, there's Bo's Coffe Club there too but you should really try Gazebo Cafe.
We weren't able to go for a gimmick night out since we were so tired and fell asleep but there's a new bar that opened called Fu. You guys might want to check that out.
Over all, I recommend Vienna Kaffehaus, La Tegola, Gazebo Cafe and of course, Jo's Chicken Inato!!! :-)
Stay away from Consuelo's! Huge RAT running around!
