Taal Lake and Volcano - from Tagaytay Picnic Grove |
Tagaytay is a favorite weekend getaway destination for families and friends in Metro Manila. And why not? It's just two hours (moderate traffic considered) from here; it's climate is cooler; with lots of activities to spend time with, especially nowadays. But it's not just that, of course. Tagaytay is a place for food tripping, too.
Here's the list of restaurants we've tried over time during the several road trips we've made to Tagaytay.
Mushroomburger
Mushroomburger, I guess, will always be in the list of restaurants/food joints to try in Tagaytay. It's famous for its mushroom-mixed burgers but it also has branched out its products, most of which, still mushroom-based, of course. I've tried several of their burgers in the several road trips we've made in Tagaytay but these are the only photos I have from them: mushroom sandwich with cheese and mushroom fries. I like this sandwich since its lighter compared to other burgers and the mushrooms in it tasted fresh really. Mushroom fries is okay, too; a nice variation from the usual fries that we're all familiar with. ^_^

Tower Ground Bulalohan
If you've been to Tagaytay, you'll notice that most of the restaurants and eateries are lined up on the side where you have the view of the Taal Lake and Volcano. One of these restaurants and/or eateries is the Tower Ground Bulalohan. It's specialty: bulalo. But we just had bulalo from Rose and Grace that day, we opted for kare-kare and crispy tawilis this time. Kare-kare is good but it's the crispy tawilis that got me. It may not look good but it tastes good; so crispy nothing will go to waste, not even the fins and scales...hehe!

Kaye Ryan Grill
Kaye Ryan Grill is the restaurant we've tried on our first road trip to Tagaytay. My friend and I went on a road trip without researching on where or what to eat. We just spotted it, we stopped and we ordered foods. What we had: sizzling seafood and fish sinigang. Foods tasted good but a bit pricey, even a few years ago.

RSM Lutong Bahay Seafood Restaurant
After our Batulao adventure, we stayed overnight in The Overlook Inn, a budget hotel in Tagaytay. On the next day, my friend and I explored some of the attractions in Tagaytay and then went to this restaurant for lunch. My words for RSM restaurant: very expensive, slow service, lots of waiting time! The foods are at least okay, at least the ones we've tried but I don't think it's worth the money. I guess this restaurant is popular because of the nice view it has of Taal Lake and Volcano. RSM: Lutong bahay, presyong hotel! :P

Rose and Grace Bulalo Restaurant
This restaurant is actually not in Tagaytay but rather in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. It's along the highway going to Tagaytay, though, so this usually is a part of foodies' and families' destination when they go to Tagaytay. Our favorite from this restaurant: bulalo, their bestseller! Rose and Grace is my friend's favorite bulalo restaurant ever since we've tried their bulalo from their branch in Sto. Tomas, Batangas. We've been here several times because we love their food; it's great and the price is reasonable, unlike that of RSM! :P
