We were in Tagaytay and looking for a bar with excellent view and live music. Prices may come a bit pricey but with its excellent view and ambiance, I think it’s worth it.
One of the best bulalo and prochetta I've tasted in Tagaytay so far. Servong soce is gpof for groups of 3-4. Conveniently located in front of SMDC Wind and near attractions like Skyranch too.

The place is really nice especially in daytime because of the the lakes view and the food was just ok. Serving size per meal is good for 3 to 4 persons I guess. Service is ok.
Great food and amazing service! It was definitely worth the trip! S/o to the bartender who made my iced tea! BEST iced tea I’ve ever tasted!
The food was just ok, not something that I will go back to. But the service and the staff? They are the best! Such a friendly and attentive people. And for that alone, I will definitely go back with my hubby soon! ☺
Interior design - very IG-worthy.
Food - Good but not great. Their best-seller Porchetta was a disappointment because instead of a crispy skin, it was rubbery and oily. I'd recommend their dinosaur-sized Boneless Bangus though. The largest one we've seen!
Service - (Food going out of the kitchen) super fast. We haven't even finished our appetizers when the main courses started coming.
(Servers' attentiveness) uhm, it felt like they just woke up, literally. They are courteous, but just absent-minded. Would not want to go into details, I just hope that they improve because I would really want to go back.
Heard about this Resto on a "Top Tagaytay Restaurants list" online. I didnt expect it to have a lounge with performers at the 2nd floor every 8pm. Ambiance is pretty nice. Most of the windows at the 2nd floor are open so you can feel the cool air around which I liked. Not sure if its also that cool during the day time but at least youll get to see the view of the lake. Anyways lets get to the food part.
I was only with my mom when we ate here. Ordered Sweet Chili Calamares, Crispy pata Kare Kare (for 3 persons) and a bottle of San Mig fot me. Calamares was crunchy, perfectly seasoned and the meat was soft. I liked how the sauce was drizzled instead of being in a sauce bowl, but I guess you can request for one if you want more sauce. I just wished it was served a lot more warmer due to the cool temp of the room. Before it was served, I thought the crispy pata was mixed in a bowl along with the kare kare sauce and veggies but it was served on a separate bowl (see pic).That didnt bother me though. Sauce had the right amount of sweetness to it and the meat was tender and cut efficiently. Just wished the leg they gave us had less fat in it. The combo of the crispy pata meat with the kare kare sauce is definitley a must try. For this dish being 600+ for 3 persons, the price is fair considering the nice ambiance and its location. I havent tried their specialty dishes (llike the bulalo) but ill definitely come back again to do so. I would recommend this Restaurant but I suggest to go in a groups or with your family since food is usually for sharing. It sure does live up to its name as a Filipino Comfort food resto. Go there during day time if you want to see the lake view. If you plan to eat there for dinner but want some peace and quiet, go there before 8 when the bands usually perform, or stay on the first floor.

I've been a loyal customer since 2015. From their soft opening until their grand opening last June 2016. And for the last 2 years, I've never had a bad experienced in this restaurant, that's why I'm confused about the negative reviews that I've read in their page.
This resto is quite unique, they offer a variety of food choices, from Italian to Filipino cuisine. I especially love their Crispy pork sinigang, bulalo, and my all time favorite which is their Chicken Alfredo.
If it's your first time to dine in at The Lake District, you'll thought that it is quite expensive, but it's actually not. Their food is delicious with big servings, like their crispy pork sinigang that were good for a group of 4 people. You can also drink while enjoying their live band every night.
They also offer a very scenic view of Taal Volcano. Their interior is also very peculiar compare to other restaurants. A combination of modern style and the traditional residence of the people in upland.
To sum it up. It is a very homey restaurant. For all the people who has 2nd thoughts of trying their cuisine, don't be. It was worth the price. And for all the negative reviews in this page, give it one more try. Because this place rocks! 😉💜
P.S. One piece of advice, the 2nd floor is an open area so most of the people who smoke dine in that floor. So if you're a non smoker, dine in the first floor or choose a secluded place in the 2nd floor. 😊
There have been a lot of talk about the famous Lake District Restaurant in Lounge found in Tagaytay, Philippines. People have had a lot of mixed feelings about this place, saying it is a bit pricey and that the service is average. However, most of the people who send their reviews online have nothing but love for their food and ambiance. In fact, their restaurant has been named one of the 20 best kept restaurants in Metro Tagaytay.
