If there's such a thing as a 5-star breakfast restaurant, this would be it. They even have the perfect location-- just beyond the main city center but still along the main highway. The place has a black & white color scheme-- not anything cosmopolitan or industrial, but a truly homey cabin vibe. There's no airconditioning but it's completely fine because it actually gets really cold! You're in a bit more elevated spot of Tagaytay here. It's very homey yet modern, with an excellent, unobstructed view of Taal Volcano. It's a view from a different angle too, so you can stare wistfully and get pictures that don't look like every other Tagaytay childhood picture of Taal in your family photo album, lol. They sell really good bread along with other goodies and homemade products at the in-house bakery. There's usually a line to get in especially if you go on high-traffic times like Saturday or Sunday morning, but they usually get you seated right away anyway because the place is huge! Lots of tables to go around.
Now the food. Beautiful, big plates, with delicious, inventive concoctions. Sure, you have the classic breakfast dishes, but there's also so many other combinations. It's like everything's a legit breakfast platter. If you're there for lunch, they have a different lunch menu that has even more variety that will make you want to just try everything!
It's a really pleasant experience dining there because you get efficient, well-trained servers with almost hotel-like demeanors, you get top quality food, and the ambience is just well put together and seemed to have the comfort of the customer in mind. For example, there are these neat screens around the windows that allow the cool wind to blow through the restaurant while keeping gusts in control. There's also an outdoor bar-like area at the back, facing the gardens/Taal lake, where you can bring out your coffee/tea and have a 'moment' with nature.
A bit pricey, but worth everything. read more
