Josephine’s lang natry ko sa list mo, so far. That’s why I really think it’s important to have a car to truly appreciate Tagaytay with the kids. We love staying there on our special family celebrations. Now that my son’s birthday is coming up, we miss it already.
Yes for these! Please do Silang also. I’d recommend ng Thai and Basil, Bag of Beans, Marcia Adams and my fave, Gourmet Farms.
I am so surprised that we have these kinds of restaurants in Tagaytay! never heard of them before, but since your feature them on your blog! I will definitely will try to visit and try their foods!.
I just realized that super dami ko pa palang hindi navivisit sa Tagaytay! Adding these to my list. Haynako, sira nanaman diet. Hahahahaha!
Josephine and Aozora are at the top of my list! I love how quaint one looks and how the other offers ALL the views, haha! It’s been years since I visited Tagaytay and now have no idea what it looks like. Oh, and thank you for including their contact details!
Miss going to Tagaytay! Its been 2 years since I last went there. Just incase we go there, will make this article as a refernce on where to dine in since we prefer alfresco lalo na ngayong may pandemic
I miss Tagaytay. I think we were there in 2018 but never had the chance to return because of the pandemic. RSM is our favorite! Sulit ang buffet.
Hmmm maybe i should find a boyfriend with a car to bring me to tagaytay even just for a lunch out. Gosh, that view of the lake is just to die for!! Huhuhu
I think I would enjoy Fire Lake Grill because of the stunning view! Since Tagaytay narin lang diba? 🙂 I also like to try Memory Lane, just ‘coz, Jolina fan here haha! 🙂
wala pa ako nakakainan dito ni isa!!!! papano lahat na lang!!!! sa leslie’s lang ako kumain hahahaha! or sa pancake house or sa antonio’s or yung kubo na sarado na yata now. kaya will take note of this. thank you!!!
sad to say i haven’t visited any of those places! wala tuloy akong ibang masabi kundi sayang! once there’s a safe opportunity to travel talaga, i’ll go for it!
Grabe, dami ko pa rin palang hindi napupuntahan sa Tagaytay kahit madalas kaming nandyan, 3 pa lang yung napuntahan ko sa list mo! Mag-catch up ako after pandemic!
I would love to visit these al fresco dining places when we get back to the Philippines. Good for you in promoting these local biz.
Grabe di ko na maalala the last time I went to Tagaytay T____T Do you have any favorite/bias place po? I would love to try it out first when I can. My decision at the moment is based on the photo with a good view hahahaha
Grabe nakakamiss talaga yung simoy ng Tagaytay lalo na yung mga bulaluhan dun! Abyways, thanks for sharing this post po, pag nakabalik kami dun may idea na kami kung saan kakain ?
Hello Karla! Hope you are doing well this pandemic.
Your article is very timely since people are on the lookout for alfresco restaurants in Tagaytay. I want to celebrate my mom’s birthday in Tagaytay because the scenery is refreshing and we need to somewhat unwind this lockdown. However, our only concern is if they would allow above 65 senior citizens.
Anyway, i miss Tagaytay a lot and reading this article makes me want to look forward to a visit one day. ❤️❤️
So cozy ng dining places ???
Sana makavisit din kami dyan soon. Thanks Ms. Karla for this loaded of info. and ang gaganda pa ng view ❤️
