Gourmet Farms

I had this chance to dine in last Wednesday at Gourmet Farms resto in Libis. I am like in great awe when i tasted their greens! Freaking I am not a veggie lover and i feel that there is no great taste when eating healthy foods. Oh well it has changed! The one I got for my sort of appetizer was the Taco Avocado salad. I was just curious about the mix, to my surprise the flavor was just fantastic! I also tried the Brown rice with Adobo flavor meat, oh my it was heavenly! To add on this i had my signature cooler on the side, the Basil leaves with calamansi extract, it was just a perfect match! I had tried some competitors who served greens and healthy food but i can say the one i had last time was really great! The servings were really big for a very reasonable price! Now i can tell that you can enjoy life while eating healthy! Kudos to the resto and the chef! Thanks to my friend Jordan for making me taste how good the food they serve! By the way, the stafffs were all very polite and cheerful! Well done! I will visit again soon!

Staffs are very kind and accommodating. Lots of Instagram worthy pictures and of course, delicious meals!! I suggest you try their buffet during special occasions and holidays. Been here for soooo many times and will still definitely come back! ❤️🍃

It's always a great experience at The Dining Room 👍 pleasant staff, instagram-able place & the food? Always 2 thumbs up 👍👍 I will surely yearn to go back ☺️

I'm a fan of Gourmet Products, but when it comes to their food, I can say it's just okay... I initially uploaded already some of the food photos all that's left is the coffee panacotta with matching brewed coffee. Price of this dessert is high as compared with other panacotta which we tried from authentic italian restaurants. I can just honestly say for me it's just 3-3.5 rating. But I consider this as a nice and decent resto if you're caught in late lunch on the way to Tagaytay.

This can be your stop over before heading to your hotel in Tagaytay City!

..when i was little it was called the gourmet cafe, now its simply called the dining room. this place wakes childhood memories when my mom would take me here for that lovely bowl of warm bolognese made with their traditional meat sauce (now all i can do is reminisce because i cut off meat from my life) and then cruise away the afternoon watching the majestic volcano while on a joyride. now that it's only me and papa, we'll have our own food to reminisce about and their gambas rice and angus steak ala plantsa were both bold, generously served and extremely delicious! they have a coffee shop outside which sells their produce and preserves and they're both great to consume as is or as pasalubongs.

ShetSarap was invited for another Zomato foodie meetup. For this meetup, we went to Tagaytay to get some organic food!

The first stop in our meet-up was Gourmet Farms. Gourmet Farms is proud to be one of the few restaurants who offer farm-to-table food. Their restaurant is located right in front of their farm. Their farm tour lets you see first hand where and how the ingredients, particularly their vegetables are made.

The dining area is very simple yet elegant. It has a basic tables-and-chairs set-up, with the salad bar at the side and a baby grand piano on another. Also visible is the small window to the kitchen, and some works of art on the walls.

We had the privilege of trying their salad bar where you can make your own salad with numerous ingredients to choose from. Though the taste of the salad is in your hands, you can see how each vegetable is fresh, with its vibrant color. They also offer a variety of sauces which you can top your salad with.

Chips. The chips served were Greek Nachos. They were made out of lettuce topped with meat sauce, salsa, olives, and feta cheese. It was wonderful for everyone. The twist of making the chips from lettuce made every bite guilt-free! The toppings also went so well with the chips, because the tomato from the salsa tastes so fresh, and you know that it came from fresh squeezed tomatoes.

Gourmet Pizza. The pizza had parma ham, shrimps, zucchini, and white sauce. The overall taste is plain. The shrimp really stood out from the rest. There was an average-sized piece of shrimp in each slice, and the way it was flavored and cooked made it perfect.

Primavera (Spaghetti). The primavera, though carbs-heavy, was superb. With every bite that filled our stomachs, the urge to eat more was still there. The pasta was cooked in a perfect al dente, giving us the opportunity to savor the flavor brought out by the tomatoes. The tomato sauce made the meal feel healthy since just like the other dishes, the fresh tomatoes stood out.

Nero D Seppie (Black Pasta/Squid Ink). The Nero D Seppie was the black pasta with squid ink as its sauce. It had a different appeal to the mouth, as it was very smooth to eat. Reminder: Make sure to check your teeth after eating the meal since the sauce stains your teeth!

Cakes. We were able to taste were Sansrival, some Red Velvet-like treats, chocolate brownie, and a coffee bun. Each, delicately plated to please the longing of our greedy eyes. The Sansrival was our favorite, because it had a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. We were not sure what the other cake was, but its appearance looked like it was a slice of Red Velvet; it didn’t taste like it though. For us, it tasted like a good old non-flavored cake, which was good, too; better if we knew what it actually was. The chocolate brownie had the right amount of sweetness that would probably delight a child.

Coffee. The cafe also has coffee experts. They showed us different ways of preparing coffee to keep the taste rich and pure. They also said that if you have a certain taste of coffee that you want replicated, they can do that for you. They let us taste some great coffee, too.
