    Food is ok nothing special but did not disappoint. Since this is in Tagaytay, it is pricey. The ambiance is great, with the garden and the nice view of Taal lake and volcano.

    If this is Paul's restaurant it is good. Food simply good, service almost excellent but I hesitate to rate anything excellent because before you know it, goes bad. Nice atmosphere the tall trees and the chirping birds happily moving from one tree to the next. And I won't forget the big butterflies.

    Concha's Garden Cafe serves mainly Filipino dishes with a touch of international cuisines. Concha’s Garden Cafe was the creation of Ms. Gemma Sembrano. Back then, it has always been her dream to start up her own cafe. Growing up with her grandmother (lola in Tagalog), the eponymous Concha (her grandmother’s maiden name) taught her the ways of the kitchen. Eventually, she inherited her grandmother’s passion for cooking and making food. The very first Concha’s Garden Cafe opened just in the year of 2014 and is now a recognizable restaurant in its own right. This branch has an excellent view. Great staff; They are all very friendly and courteous although we arrived very early in the morning. The food were very delicious and they have broad menu. I recommend you trying this restaurant whenever you visit Tagaytay. It is near the highway so it is very accessible. Tagaytay, along with this restaurant, is just two hours away from Metro Manila.

    Went to Tagaytay to spend the weekend with the family and after a long drive, we went to this restaurant for lunch. It is great that even during the lunch hour rush, they still have a lot of seats available. They also offer free parking as long as you get your ticket validated by their staff. To say that their food tastes great is an understatement because all food items we sampled were excellent in their own right. The Bulalo was a highlight since we had to request for the broth to be refilled twice since the family really enjoyed it. Their combination of excellent food, great service, and breathtaking views of Taal Volcano and Taal Lake will surely complete your Tagaytay trip.

    Nice place but lacks vibe. A lot can be made for the dining area to be more vibrant. Food is alright but would not bring you back for more. Servers are respectful and courteous. We ordered Ginataang Adobong Pusit, Pinakbet with Bagnet (as toppings), and Tinapa rice. Basically, we were satisfied. Ample serving for 2 -3pax. Per serving is good for 2-3pax. Price is not cheap. Ample parking space customers.

    I forgot to take photos but breakfast was okay. Service was not at par with the branch in Quezon City. It was drizzling when we went there. Almost zero visibility at the viewing deck. Restroom was great, though. Drinks were above okay, fresh and made just right.

    Breathtaking views! Definitely worth the visit if you're celebrating an occasion. Chill dining, can get a bit expensive (around Php 400-800 per meal). Food is above average especially for Tagaytay restaurants, mostly serves Filipino dishes with a twist. As for the service, they serve quick. Waiting time is 20-25 minutes, they move the tables for you if needed (for bif groups).

    The atmosphere in this restaurant is just divine (but expect some noise from kids as it is a family oriented restaurant). A breather (literally from the fresh and cool breeze) from your busy life in Manila. The food was also amazing; the portion is just right to satisfy your hunger and desire for great find. The service is also good, not much waiting to eat those delicious meals. Side note, make sure that you are in the right area as there are other restaurants sharing the same space.

    poor kitchen hygiene. no urgency for customers filing a complaint. If you want to get sick. Get the Pork Adobo. The salted eggs that comes along with it has a surprise. I'll post the pic but it's too graphic.

    Twice I was disappointed by this place. The first time was sometime in May 2022. The chef himself was not accommodating (too bad I forgot his name, not worth remembering). Parang ayaw nila kami pakainin. You need patrons/clients, right? The 2nd time was tonight, June 8. Your website says that it closes at 10pm. When i was going to order at 7:15, di na daw pwede. Talaga ha, ayaw nyo talaga ako pakainin. Well, you betyer freakin' update your lousy website!!! Yes, I am mad! Clearly in this restaurant, the customer is not first! So lafies and gentlemen, take note!!!!

    The food is okay, you will not disappoint somehow. Only, it's not what you waited for. But what I liked most is the view. I guess, the only concern is the waiting time--waiting time to be seated or perhaps the management of customer accommodation; plus the waiting time for food to be served even you ordered it already. We waited for a total of more than an hour before we had our lunch. Good thing that they have pasalubong store and there's Rowena's as well in case you need to get something for a quick bite.

    This is one of our fave restaurants in Tagaytay. The breathtaking view of Taal is a huge plus! Our family also really love the food. Especially their Bulalo, Fried Hito and Crispy Tawilis!!! Plus kudos to the staff who had initiative to help us in our order and for asking us if we need further assistance. We really like his attitude. And also their facility is really clean and pleasing to the eyes. Thank you and keep up the good work!

    Espresso Coffee is good but not great. Tita vibes. Peaceful place and great Taal View.

    Nice lake taal view, and delicious foods.

  • 3/5 Raddy B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had the merienda items on the menu. Pancit Canton is too salty for our taste. Putobumbong is good but nothing special so I think its too pricey. Coffee is really good. I think that's the only thing we really enjoyed. And of course the view. I think that's what you are paying for in here -- the view.

  • 5/5 Ramil S. 2 years ago on Google
    Concha's Garden Cafe is located in Cliff House. One of the best places in Tagaytay to get a view of Taal. We tried Spare Ribs Sinigang and chicken inasal. We will definitely going back to try the pochero. The parking is free if you eat any of the restaurants in the area.

    food is a bit salty i find the food pricey since the serving ia quite small parking is ample service is ok not pwd friendly suggestion though: a standby wheelchair for pwd and seniors would be of great help (and a plus). most restos we've been to in tagaytay have wheelchairs.

    Cool place to have lunch with an excellent view of Taal Volcano. Food was good as well. Parking is not a problem at all. Great place!

  • 5/5 Alex T. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is similar to the food parks in Maginhawa. Several restaurants are huddled together to give visitors a wide range of food choices. There is also a great view of Taal Lake.

  • 5/5 Rey 7 years ago on Google
    Awesome location with great selection. I visited in the evening nearing the Christmas season where they have decorated the place with Christmas-y things. I bet the view of the lake is awesome, I will visit again during day time to appreciate that. Parking space is limited but commuting via public transport will not be very tricky since this is just beside the main road.

  • 4/5 Psypsy G. 4 years ago on Google
    Good food but kinda pricey. You won't see the view of Taal while you're eating but the place has a good ambiance and the service is good. Only problem is when it's raining because most of the tables are outside.

  • 4/5 Benedict N. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was average, it was not flavorful and it was close to being bland. I like their red velvet cake and sylvanas though. We chose to dine indoor but there is an option for outdoor seating. The ambiance was cool and garden-inspired. Staff were okay, parking was big enough to accommodate guests of concha's and other establishments. View was fantastic.

    Drinks are huge. The Kare-Kare flavors would sufficiently please Thanos. Dining area is nice and breezy. Wait staff are friendly. Taal view deck is a few steps away.
