Soak in the breathtaking view and spoil yourself with sinful, indulgent meals in these excellent food spots from our Best Restaurants Guide 2018
Tatler Asia

Cowrie Cove

Treat yourself to a spellbinding al fresco dinner with sweeping views and fresh bounties from the sea. Perfect for date nights, enjoy a glass or two of some of the most coveted pours while waiting for the feast about to unfold.

TATLER TIPS

Warm up with the Cowrie Cove seafood bisque.

  • Good for two, the grilled seafood platter presents the freshest catch in a mind-blowing explosion of flavours. Have this with a glass of Chardonnay from the well-curated wine selection.
  • Carnivores will definitely take delight in the sinful tender Ibérico pork.
  • The chef Daniel Quintero’s Spanish paella seals the deal—bursting with flavours that you will crave for long after you finish the last bite.

Forest House Bistro

The City of Pines is known for its amazing weather and, in addition, it's growing food scene peppered with a number of hidden culinary gems. This included.

TATLER TIPS

  • Baguio is known for crisp, fresh produce. Have the 3 Dip Forest House Special Salad to confirm this reputation.
  • The Salpicado Australian is oozing with flavours—the marinated tenderloin beef cubes sautéed to perfection is superbly filling with rice.
  • Albeit on the sweet side, the charbroiled baby back ribs simmered for hours in its signature barbecue sauce is a must order with rice or with creamy mashed potatoes.
  • The pièce de résistance is the home-made bagnet (crispy pork belly). Each bite is sinfully good!

Indigo

Seated at Indigo you feel less a casual observer of paradise and more an intricate part of it. The fine dining restaurant at Discovery Shores opens up onto White Beach and lets Boracay’s natural beauty provide the right ambience. The menu is a crowd pleaser, providing ample variety. The friendly service flows naturally and feels right at home in this slice of paradise.

TATLER TIPS

  • The steak frites, featuring a 250g US prime-grade Angus rib-eye, is a must order.
  • Try favourites like the blackened grouper with thyme marble potatoes, the tuna tartare, and the calamansi panna cotta.
  • Ask for a table outside for the best views and people watching.

Restaurant Verbena

It’s got the best view of Taal Lake. It is also on the quiet side of the road on the ridge. Service is good and portions are generous.

TATLER TIPS

  • Though it has continental specials from appetisers to dessert, the Filipino or local corner is worth a look. Ask for the lemongrass or the ginger lime iced tea. Very refreshing. The wine list is also extensive, and lots of options by the glass.
  • Named after one of the owners, the Oyster Ruben comprises housemade spaghettini topped with oysters and caviar.
  • They are thoughtful to ask how you like your Norwegian salmon fillet and medium doneness is good. Served with a crisp salmon skin topping, a light tomato sauce on spaghettini and arugula.
  • The candied pistachio, sultanas, and spiced raspberry vinaigrette complement the lightly tossed arugula with pears and orange slices with little dots of goat cheese. Refreshing!

Sirena

Perched on a cliff overlooking the sparkling blue water below, Sirena delivers a pampering experience by pairing breathtaking views with the freshest selection of seafood.

TATLER TIPS

  • Enjoy pre-dinner sundowner cocktails by arriving early and securing a private cliff-hugging cabana, which are available on a first come, first served basis. The Boracay sunset is unbeatable.
  • The kilawin tanigue is perfectly executed, magically blending spice, vinegar, and fresh chunks of succulent fish.
  • The sizzling squid in Singaporean chilli sauce is an easy crowd pleaser and hits the palate as simultaneously sweet and mildly spicy.

Taza Fresh Table

Nestled in the heart of the iconic Taal Vista Hotel, Taza offers Tagaytay locals and travellers alike dining with a view backed by awesome service.

TATLER TIPS

  • Start with the signature Taza Salad to appreciate the restaurant’s culinary philosophy—simple, fresh, and flavourful.
  • Enjoy their selection of mezze served with flat bread. Go for the spinach with bacon jam if you’re craving for something with a bit of sweetness, ricotta or hummus for something light, or go all in with the sautéed chicken liver and garlic confit.
  • For your main dish, Taza serves a wonderful array of home-made pasta. Enjoy the lobster fetuccine for your seafood fix or the short rib ravioli for something more savoury.
  • For a taste of locally-sourced ingredients, enjoy the grilled Iloilo prawns or the roasted market fish.
