We did a mini vacation in Tagaytay and found Nanay Cirila’s online. Reserved for Tuesday lunch and we had the place to ourselves . You need to preorder here and so we did - bulalong kare kare, chicken curry, caldereta provencal, turon, halohalo and of course the kapeng barako. Chef Medi was kind enough to allow us half orders as we wanted to taste as much food as we can. I don’t even need to say how much we loved the food, only that hubby and daughter agreed that we should dine here the next day. That’s how good it was. We went back and had bulalo (this is probably the healthiest bulalo ever!) and grilled liempo, still half order each. Big mistake. My daughter ate all the liempo! And it wasn’t that easy to order more. We also loved the banana crepe with whipped cream, iced tea was yummy. Heck, we loved everything! We also got the kapeng barako coffee beans to take home. Aside from the food, we love this place because it’s quaint and quiet and private. We stayed for at least 2 hours each time just playing wordscapes and forgetting the time. We never felt like we were overstaying our welcome. Remember we had the place to ourselves both times. Chef Medi was very easy to talk to, never intimidating unlike how you sometimes feel talking to chefs in other restos. She was with us both times and always made us feel welcome. Even the 2 waiters were very easy to talk to. We stayed at DCS and Anya which is a good 20min drive without traffic but we didn’t mind. I will be really bold here and say that this is the best value for money restaurant in Tagaytay. It’s the most value for your buck and no resto in Tagaytay can compare. I almost didn’t want to write this review because I just wanna keep this hidden gem all to myself but it’s too good not to share and a restaurant like this deserves to be experienced by all. Chef Medi, we count that food and service stays the same even as you and your food become more famous. Cheers!

If you're looking for fresh and best coffee and delicious/yummy meals...this is where you go! The place is elegant and very cozy! Very impressed of this place and highly recommend it. You can also reserve big events in the roof top! Definitely
