Generous amount of veggies. Would have liked the sauce to be thicker and have a stronger peanut taste. - Squid Sisig: Never had squid as sisig before and this was interesting. They did it well as it wasn't rubbery at all. Good portion size. - Garlic Rice: Good amount of garlic flakes, would have liked a stronger garlic undertone. - Halo Halo: The star was the two scoops of icecream. The rest of it was meh. A bit heavy handed on the ice. - Icecream: Got a scoop of the taho and it came with the classic syrup and boba. The icecream was smooth and the flavour came across strongly. Pricey but I guess you pay up for the ambiance. Go early as this place gets absolutely packed and frenzy. Explore the rest of Tagaytay while you're there.

I truly enjoyed all the dishes but especially liked the black squid calamari (I believe that was the name). I took pics of almost everything we ordered and while the pics look delicious, the taste was 100x more! We were full but still decided to order dessert with the hot chocolate which was the perfect ending. Highly recommend this spot!

Leslie's Restaurant in Tagaytay hasn't changed over the years: the menu, the sumptuous cacauphony…read moreof tastes and aroma that fills the air, and to-die landscape remains to be the elements, that drive thousands to this mecca of sorts. I've come back from afar and wanted to dine again, on their bulalo and voila, the crowds descended like hungry wolves which made my trip, more interesting and exciting. The mist from an unstoppable showers was complicit in creating an avant garde of magical beauty as we sat down and ordered our culinary delights. The huge one sized bulalo was to die for, bone marrow was salivating, meat was super tender and the soup reminds me of honey in some sense. Their dinakdakan was sliced and presented in its usual sense, aromatic with the spices and pork fat that to me, defines what truly was an epicurean Filipino classic dish. Their "grilled squid" was sliced perfectly and tasted like no other, chewy but tasty, squiddy but came with a combination of spices that reminds me of the sea. The tilapia was mainstream, grilled perfectly but and with fresly cut tomatoes and onions which enriched the usual restaurant menu. I can go on and on but the beauty of Tagaytay was in its View To A Kill, mist laden but as the sun came to slowly diminish the fog, a paradise of sorts appeared from the front of the restaurant like a gods was of Athena on a bright morning day. So, if you're in the Philippines, head to Leslie's Restaurant in Tagaytay and mix in with the crowd who come from all over towns and countries to enhance their culinary experiences in a nation of maikling and happy people. Oh one more observation, the servers were great, smiling as always, kind and knowledgeable about the dishes they serve... TGIS was an important part of the experience, too. So, as I go back home to California, I feel am truly richer than yesterday and more content with my visit of the Philippines with this stimulating culinary experience!

Upon entering it doesn't really look like much but when you step in you first see a shop filled with authentic traditional philippine decor. From dining plates to beautiful handcrafted vases and local artwork I was amazed. Service- We were seated promptly and all the staff were so friendly and courteous. They went through the menu and answered all questions and even gave us a tour of the balcony sitting area. Food- Delicious.. We had multiple dishes since we were a big group. We had the Seafood platter. Grilled black calamari sounds and looks weird but it was one of the best tasting dishes I ever had! Okoy seafood fried cakes fried garlic rice and grilled oysters. It was definitely a treat. The portion sizes were big and everything cooked to perfection. The view was amazing from the balcony where you could also be seated. the lush hills of greenery is a great backdrop for photos or just to admire the view. Everything was perfect. Definitely a place to see!

Service- pretty slow considering there were tons of servers. Food-- this is a family style restaurant- hence every order is for 2-4 people. Appetizer- we had boneless crispy pata-- crispy, fatty and definitely a must have here. Main meal- we ordered Bulalo(Beef and tendons kn broth), something Binakol, and the grilled native fish. The flavor profile for Bulalo and Binakol was really subtle- and not at all impressive. The grilled fish was actually pretty good. Garlic or plain white rice is ordered separately, and I recommend garlic if you are eating dry food. We didn't stick around for desert.. but they do offer a pretty good selection.

There was a lot of flies that we couldn't really enjoy our meal coz we were too busy trying to make sure they don't land on our food. Bathroom was a little stinky. I feel that it's not worth driving here thru traffic from Manila and you're not even sure if you can get in... it's hard to find parking at noon so either come early or late but don't come at noon.

The great landscape and the rustic vibe gives off that laid back nature that you can only experience in the province. What's also great is the cold weather in Tagaytay if you're really sick of the humid and polluted Manila. You won't even need to turn on the AC but you need to bring an insect repellent to shoo away the bugs that might seep through. It's also one of the few hotels that makes you appreciate the Philippine culture because of the interior design and the materials used. It's like staying inside a museum. The place is also perfect for reading because of the fresh air and the nature that you can overlook. Their breakfast is also to look out for. If only I could stay here and not return to Manila anymore.
