A nice escape @ Antonio's

     We were happy to have lunch at Antonio's in Tagaytay last weekend. It was such a treat to escape the unbearable heat of Manila for a while and have the best food. We usually go to Antonio's during dinner, but lunch is also good because you get to see everything. Going there was a breeze and it made us even more hungry. In the numerous times we've eaten here, food has always been fresh and delicious!

Love the setting! It's even more romantic at night. ;)

Their menu

Appetizers menu

Bacalao

          This is new to us. I was surprised it wasn't tomato based, but we all enjoyed.

Dalandan juice*

Bread and butter

Tempura scallops

     Love the blend of the cream and mangoes with the scallops! It wasn't too rich... just right.

Salad

Mushroom Cappuccino Soup

Love the creamy blend of the soup!

Green Mango Sorbet

This was refreshing!

Beef Fillet Mignon

     Just in case you're wondering where's the bacon... Mom requested no bacon.

Pommery rubbed roasted rack of lamb

     This comes with Spaetzle with Pancetta, which is like a rich and creamy Carbonara... love it!

Dessert menu

Poached pear

This comes with Vanilla ice cream but Mom requested these separated... But why?

Berries & cream ice cream

The berries are blueberries and blackberries. Love the creamy and fruity blend!

Tarragon tea

     They say this is good for digestion. I call this "Sarsi tea" because it reminds me of Sarsi. :))

Coffee

Coffee is strong... which is good.

     The menu makes some changes from time to time. The soup and sorbet vary.  We were happy there are ice creams already available. Each meal comes with either coffee or tea and I always choose the latter since I can only have it in Tagaytay. If you dine here, expect to have the best quality for both food and service.
