Melencio’s Tagaytay — Restaurant in Tagaytay

Great Food, Relaxing Atmosphere – Worth the Wait

We had a really good experience at this place. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, which made us feel extra welcoming. You can tell they really care about making guests comfortable. It's my mom and brother Birthday and they gave them an Ice Cream ang kyut lang. hahahah

The food is really delicious. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and the Bulalo meat is so soft like it melts in your mouth the same in Kare kare even the alamang is so good. There's a bit of a wait time lang po talaga maybe because marami kami nag dine and may nauna din sa amin na madami but honestly, it’s worth it.

The ambience is also something worth mentioning — very calming and easy on the eyes. It’s the kind of place where you just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy your meal.

If you’re not in a rush and want great food in a peaceful setting with kind staff, this spot is definitely worth...

We wanted to avoid traffic and came upon this resto. Reviews said the bulalo and oxtail kare-kare are their specialty so we ordered those. We also tried the hot chocolate, mango graham shake and unli coffee.

Bulalo - better to be taken with rice as soup is a bit salty. Small portion size too. The three of us were only able to get a small amount of meat.

Oxtail Kare Kare - 2 pcs of oxtail and lots of skin, no tripe. Though veggies are perfectly blanched and peanut sauce is perfectly seasoned.

Drinks - tsokolate de tablea is super sweet. I had to take water sips in between. My daughter loved the mango graham shake, it was presented beautifully as well.

Owner gave us free otap and butcheron while waiting for our order.

Parking is available and service is fast.

We bought their gourmet tuyo. This one is a 5-star for me. Not too salty...

Kare kare- 9/10 Sizzling Sisig-5/10 (expecting it tobe sizzling hot but served at normal temp) Bulalo- 8/10 (vegetables were raw, and i really mean raw because the soup wasn't that hot to blanched the veggies) Crispy tawilis- 3/10 (crispy on the outside, but undercooked on the inside) Halo halo- I'm expecting a traditional looking halo halo but it was all white, i thought they gave me a mais con yelo, but it was really a halo halo. The taste as per my mom who loves halo halo said it was too sweet, like all sugar no milk taste. The banana was a little bit like meat to chew. Overall- 6.5/10 for food but for the service, i'll...
