Where to Eat in Tagaytay: MEER Café

Whenever I look for a better ambiance, I always opted to go to Tagaytay City – which is 2 hours away from Manila. Aside from having a cool weather and a stunning view of Taal Volcano, I can also try new food fares in a very relaxing environment without having the feeling of I have to get things done in just a span of minutes. Yeah, if you were in the metropolis where everything seems to be in a hurry then a day of just chilling and enjoying a cup of coffee in a serene place is a good way of unleashing stress.

So last weekend, I was able to try new café located along Maharlika East, with less than 1 kilometers away from rotunda, named MEER Café. It is a chic and dainty café that offers pleasant foods without ruining your pocket but satisfies your cravings. Since the owner is into catering services, MEER Café also serves Baby Back Ribs, Meer Burger, slider, Pasta Meer, pancit, budhas delight and colorful, yummy and Instagram-worthy drinks. What’s best during my visit was that, the Crispy Pata! Yes, you read it right – crispy pata is in the house for just only Php 325. And another yes, it is not a typo. Because MEER Café believes that everyone deserves a delicious and affordable meals.

What I also liked about this café is that, their food presentation is very appealing and inviting. Though, the restaurant is quite small, its interiors stand out and gives a vibrant feeling. It connotes happy vibes and positivity where you can slow down and taste the oozing aroma of each meal.
