Cruising along Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Highway, you will find rows and rows of tarpaulin ads for Rekado Cafe and Restorante – the newest restaurant to open in Tagaytay. The tarpaulins showed pictures of their select menu – which is a fusion of Filipino, Spanish and Italian dishes. It was these tarpaulins that convinced me and AJ to take our lunch stop there, when we went to Tagaytay last month for a weekend break with his family.
You will love the homey ambiance of Rekados. The use of French provincial or country-style furniture and interiors gave it a very light and relaxing feel – perfect for a relaxing weekend at Tagaytay.
We picked familiar Filipino dishes from their menu, perhaps because the weekend traffic made us all crave for lutong bahay dishes.
Crispy Sisig (P265.00). Plenty in serving and has more meat than fat, this pork sisig has the right kick and flavor that will make you order for a second cup of rice.
Sinigang na Sugpo (P295.00). The prawns were fresh and sweet. Yummy!
Chicken and Pork Adobo (P265.00). We ordered adobo because we have a kid in our group (Amira) who’s a picky eater too. She loved the adobo, which was perfectly simmered and in lots of crushed garlic. You’ll know that this adobo‘s not simmered in haste because the meat was very tender to the bite.
I’d rate the food as very good but may kamahalan. But then again, there’s always an extra price to pay for good ambiance, comfortable seats and prompt service.
I recommend that you give this a try. We also ate at The Grill by Antonio’s and I think I enjoyed the food better at Rekado’s, which are also cheaper compared to Antonio’s. The only drawback I could find is that the place is small and may not be able to accommodate big groups. They have a covered dining space just outside the restaurant but it wasn’t open on the day we went, so I don’t know if it’s as comfortable as being inside.

![[ Long story ahead] 👉 Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na 😬 We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well 😂
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin 😜 Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya 😂.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining 😜
