Mt. Banahaw Viewdeck & Cabin — Restaurant in Sariaya

It’s a vegetable farm venture with a café located at the foot of Mt. Banahaw, Quezon province; offers a selection of own blends and brews of hot and cold coffees and other drinks, rice-based meals, burgers and sandwiches and few other things in between priced moderately accounting the natural ambiance; dining is open alfresco with refreshingly cool mountain winds constantly blowing; with local acoustic performer on the background, sip your coffee while enjoying the forested mountain view on the northwest and the lowland coastline of Tayabas bay on the east; expect some crowd on weekends; spacious parking but only one common toilet, so expect a queue at times; place is ~7km uphill climb off the main highway with access point passing right at the heart of the downtown jammed area; road is a tight 2-way with open ditches on sides randomly blocked by parked vehicles, so ascent could be bit of thing if youre driving manual; having own or arranged service vehicle is...
