Anywhere with your best friend :3

Weekends are best spent with our loved ones, and half the time (if not all), our attention can and should be given to our babies, i.e. our pets. So instead of leaving them at home when you’re gearing up for an out-of-town trip, why not bring them along?

So, for all the animal-lovers, we dedicate this list to you with some of the most beautiful pet-friendly restaurants in the city of Tagaytay. Most of what’s included here are garden restaurants where you can enjoy a sumptuous feast of freshly-picked salad, thick slabs of steak, a hot bowl of bulalo, and some really good coffee and cakes.
