    One of the pretty restos in Silang, Cavite. Signage is not obvious from the road but it's always full-- So better come early so you can get a good table. They have different sections to choose from and ample parking space. They serve reasonably priced Filipino food. I guess the people come all the more because of the property design...everything was well thought of. Beautiful Bali inspired kubos/native houses and dining hall. **Trivia: as per convo with the server...the owner of Salakot is the same family who owns Balinsasayaw. 😊 No wonder food was also good! 😊

    This restaurant sure is popular as it serves great tasting food and superb staff service! They do not accept reservations so make sure to come early, and best to go on a weekday if you want to avoid the crowd. Perfect for couples, group of friends, or families. Don't forget to try their Crispy Pata!

    A very charming outdoor dining in Cavite. The private kubo style dining is very instagrammable. The place is surrounded with lush greens which made the place very relaxing. Staff are all helpful and smiling. Food is on the average and reasonably priced. They provide quick service. Parking space is limited but still manageable. This restaurant is worth visiting.

    I like the place because in this post pandemic time that we have. Everybody was looking for dining places that are open air and have good ventilation. This place got it. Food was great too. Got a lot of variation to choose from. The only problem was the staffs. You can see them chit chatting together so even when your hands are up it will be for a long time before they see it.

    It was a superb experience. They are not accepting reservations ahead of time, but they will cater you once you arrived. The attendants are nice and approachable. It is a good recommendation for family and friends' dinner.

    The place is awesome. All of the dishes served and their fried rice is very tasty. The modern nipa huts give a relaxing ambience even though the sun is up in the high noon. Electric fans are also available inside the huts to give you additional ventilation and air flow. Every nipa hut has a long table that can accommodate large group and is perfect for big families. Comfort rooms and wash rooms are also available and accessible to wheel chairs. There is a souvenir shop inside that accepts cashless payments. Parking is limited and towing of ilegally parked vehicles on the road is being implemented.

    Love the area with the teepee houses. They even have a fake bonfire in the middle, which adds to the vibe of the place. I only had dessert when I went here. Tried the buko halo-halo and sansrival. They were both good! Still have other food to try in the menu.

    Been here for a couple of times so I have different photos from different days. Food and place are great. Not a fan of their coffee though. Parking could be tough on weekends and holidays so better to visit on lean days.

    We had our family Christmas eve dinner here. We almost didnt make it as they opted to close early ( but no notice on their fb site re: operating hour change). They were very kind to accommodate us still. They still gave their best in terms of service and food. We loved everything we ordered.

    Five stars all around - service, food, ambiance. Our server, Daniel, was amazing, anticipating our needs during dinner. The food was plentiful and delicious and worth every peso. Ambiance was great - true Al fresco dining in an Instagrammable environment.

    The waiting game is fast. Food is okay. Serving is enough per order. Staff are so accomodating, respectful and nice. Ambience is really good especially at night, you will hear the sound of nature.

    The ambiance is so nice. We were not able to dine on one of their kubo since the area is so full on a Sunday. Better to be there early. The food is great and the servings were already good for sharing. Staffs were kind to provide you options to dine on the pavilion to skip the long queue on their huts. You also dont need to wait that long for the food. They said its about 20-30 minutes but I think we got our food quicker.

    Good food at affordable prices though they only accept cash. Not sure if they will accept credit cards in the future. Place was great with individual huts and lots of flora outside.

    The ambiance was really great. Spacious and different areas depending on the number of groups or where you wish to dine. The food was tasty; kinda reminded me of food you eaten at outings. Make sure to order the shakes, especially on this hot weather. It was really refreshing. Good service as well. Definitely recommend.

    I love the place. I appreciate the privacy in each every hut that they have for customers. The servings of the food was good. The taste even better. We will surely go back. I also love the ambiance and the way they designed their hut. Perfect place for family gatherings.

    Food - Crispy pata is highly recommended! - This serves filipino, cook upon order foods. Service - ☑️ parking attendant and they have a system which assigns a staff in your kubo - Another nice system is that each kubo has a bell 🔔 to get assigned staff attention Atmosphere - You order and eat inside a kubo or inside the pavillion, whichever is your preferred seat. It is best to dine here for dinner as the weather is much cooler. - I like the set up prior their expansion, the nipa huts is not placed too near each other and there is much more privacy - Best for group dining, casual and celebrations

  • 5/5 Lamberto “Lhanz” S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food...MUST TRY. Ambiance...COMFORTABLE yet SAFE. Location...along Aguinaldo highway. They currently do not accept reservations...SO it's a First Come, First Served basis for now...BUT, it's worth trying.

  • 5/5 Dindo S. 4 months ago on Google
    Kubo-kubo (nipa hut) dining near Tagaytay. The food and ambiance is ok. Great dining experience minus the Tagaytay crowd and traffic. They also serve coffee and cakes.

  • 4/5 Archie Noel C. 5 months ago on Google
    Came here for dinner, after coming from tagaytay, there was a debut at that time that why we were seated at the kubo area, but it was nice, nice ambiance service was fast food was great, my kids liked the food. We ordered salakot seafood sinigang. You can taste the tanglad in the soup a different take on the sinigang, pork sisig is also good but a little bit dry, cheesy mechado is also good. Kubo type dinning area are nice, nice for dates. Ample parking space. Price ₱₱₱ will surely be back to try other selections . They also have cakes and coffee

  • 4/5 Nicolas R. 4 months ago on Google
    It was not that hot today the temperature was bearable in the kubo, but it would be nice to have an Aircon option for those more sensitive to the heat. The food was great. Good taste, generous portions. We had the house salad and the shrimp salad. The shrimp aglio olio and the chicken Salpicao. And shanghai and fruits. They also have a separate coffee shop and pasulbong store. Lots of seating areas including private kubos for small groups. The music is not too loud which is good. The staff if great when they are around but a bit hard to catch them sometimes. Where are they hiding? They have lots more items to try but also big competition.

    Delightful place to visit when you are looking for Al fresco Filipino-style dining. Strategically located along Emilio Aguinaldo, Silang Cavite, the place embodies what Silang is known for -- lovely plants! Salakot is a Tagalog word for native pointed hat made of indigenous materials and the roof of most huts resemble a salakot. Most garden restaurants tend to have mosquitos problems but the restaurant solved this by integrating a fish net to their hut designs both to repel mosquitoes and provide some privacy. Each hut is equipped with its own electric fan. A buzzer and bell is available to call for wait service. Clever! Our group of 4 diners had a platter of rice, crispy pork kare-kare, sinampalukang manok, and gising-gising, and our bill round up to only P1200+. We enjoyed the gising gising the most. The kare-kare sauce was good but the crispy pork on the kare-kare was large slabs of pork which was mostly skin and fat. The rice was quite dry, and the sinampalukang manok was just sinigang manok with no young sampaloc leaves. Food on the menu are in sharing portions for 3-4 persons. There's option overload so best to ask the food server for bestseller recommendations. The place is instagrammable and an enjoyable time to relax around fresh air and open spaces. No smoking signs are all around the property but monitoring and implementation could be stricter since someone next to our hut was smoking but I didn't hear the management and staff address enforcing it while we were there. Best time to visit is more late afternoon when it's not too warm, and choose to stay a little bit towards the evening. The night lights around the restaurant makes the place ethereal! Overall, the place is value for money and I would gladly visit and bring friends along next time.

    Cozy place to visit! Serve yummy dishes!So love it!

  • 5/5 Mayet 1 year ago on Google
    The place, service & food were great! You can have a Kubo of your own that's surrounded by a "kulambo" so flies & mosquitoes are not a problem. Each Kubo has an electric fan. Parking space is not a problem. Each order is good for 3 persons (with big appetite, 4 for those with moderate appetite). Price is reasonable. I highly recommend them.

  • 5/5 GERALDINE P. 10 months ago on Google
    We had lunch in Salakot and ordered the following for 2 adults and 1 kid. 1. Inihaw na pusit 2. Fried Pampano 3. Pancit Trio Con Bagnet 4. Rice We liked all the food we ordered. I would say that this is the most reasonably priced restaurant we have tried in Tagaytay. ✅️Food Taste and Portion - masarap, ok yung dami ✅️Price - sulit ✅️Parking - malawak ✅️Service - ok ✅️Ambiance - ok You can choose where you want to sit. They have a lot of teepee houses, but they were all occupied when we visited. So we opted to sit in a wooden hut. I would say ito babalikan namin to try their other dishes.

  • 5/5 Riva Celine A. 9 months ago on Google
    The place is really pretty. The drinks are good. You'll want to come here all the time. It's peaceful and quiet. Very good for relaxation.

  • 4/5 Imee C. 1 year ago on Google
    There is ample parking space with parking attendants. The parking is free. The place has a lot of plants surrounding the individual huts. It has a big open area for weddings and other gatherings. They have a cafe as well so you can buy drinks while waiting to be seated. The attendants were attentive. You can just ring the bell and they will approach you. The huts were covered with nets to prevent annoying mosquitoes and flies while eating. There is an electric fan in each huts and a nice capiz chandelier. The food was good and served hot! They don't accept credit cards so make sure that you have cash. The place is nice and there is privacy.

    Can be too busy at times. The staff are friendly and very cordial. Generous portions of food. Best days to visit would be weekdays.

  • 4/5 stephen08ism 1 year ago on Google
    Food was great and price was reasonable. The only down side for me was the space for smaller group was so much better than the space for larger group. It wasn’t as aesthetic as the nipa huts for smaller group. Parking is very limited.

  • 5/5 Hannah A. 8 months ago on Google
    If you're looking for a romantic or insta worthy place, i highly recommended Salakot. Foods here are delicious but a little bit pricey and good for sharing. You can also rent this place as your wedding/birthday or any celebration. Staffs were commendable.

  • 4/5 Dan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Salakot Cafe is a new restaurant in Silang Cavite. It is almost 9kms going to Tagaytay proper. The place is cozy, it have a main function or dining area then nipa hut (bahay kubo) around the area. The food is very good except for the whole lechon belly which is my favorite is undercooked inside. It is not pricey for a local dishes.

  • 5/5 Denisse E. 2 years ago on Google
    Staffs are friendly, very accommodating and courteous. They are in al fresco set up that's why they are safe to dine in. Also, you can have your privacy since they have kubo.

  • 5/5 Jan Christopher G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot for al fresco dining and some 🍺! Loved the cozy local cultural ambiance. You may opt to stay in one of their stylish nipa huts (which are btw mosquito-proof given the protective nets embracing them) for an intimate dinner with your loved one, in bigger huts that feature long table dining that can comfortably accommodate groups, or in their grand dining hall elegantly adorned by woven art hanging on the ceiling. Among the must-order food that our group loved: their classic pork sisig, their nachos, and their inihaw na liempo. Yes, we are a meat-loving bunch! To top it all, they have very attentive, polite, and hospitable staff.

  • 5/5 Max M. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is great! This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable staff, delicious dishes that is really affordable, and you can tell making the customers comfortable and happy is their main priority. I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.

  • 4/5 Mariz A. 2 years ago on Google
    Salakot Al Fresco Dining & Cafe Price range - ₱₱ (big servings, very sulit!) Reservation - none, walk ins only. As of Oct 2021, children are still prohibited to enter and they are very STRICT on this one. Ambience - the kubos is a great way to maintain social distancing these days. They can accommodate different set of groups of people. I visited 2 times already and I noticed that they only have a few songs on their playlist. But it doesn't bother me since everything's nice. Service - Salakot crew are very very kind! Very friendly and can converse with waiting customers. One encounter we had was with Sir Kelvin. Food - they have various dishes to offer! They also have set meals t help you in choosing the best ones. Big servings as well! Each dish can be eaten by 2-4 people. Recommendations: Salakot Ensalada, Crispy Kare Kare, Dinuguan, Garlic Rice. Tips: if you are going on a weekend, come earlier so that you can choose which kubo you'll have. Parking is tight during lunch and dinner hours so if possible, avoid rush hours. Not much people during weekdays.

  • 5/5 Jaco D. 2 years ago on Google
    expect difficulty in parking space and wait on queue if you want to use their huts especially during peak days and hours. But it's all worth it.

  • 5/5 Dennis Z. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is delicious, not that expensive. They are kind staff. The atmosphere is beautiful. And most of all the place is clean.

    Great Coffee! The ambiance was very relaxing and my favorite Filipino food tasted even better there! Probably better than the expensive restaurants in Tagaytay. Must visit!

  • 5/5 Tammy P. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place, reasonable prices and great staff

  • 3/5 Divina Grace C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nothing special about the food but the ambience is good. You need to wait to get your own "kubo" but if you're okay dining in the pavilion (shared space) you no longer need to wait (we arrived after lunch). Saw some dogs (pomeranians and golden retriever) were allowed to get it. Id give it a five if the food stands out but it didn't.

  • 5/5 GCo c. 2 years ago on Google
    Amid this pandemic, this place is one I would suggest for any groups to go. You can eat well with friends/family or love one. Their coffee is great.

  • 5/5 Evelyn P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Filipino food and great service! You have a hut for your group so you do not have to worry about social distancing. Best to come early around 10 a.m. for hassle-free parking.
