For Metro Manila residents who often want a quick break from the big city, Tagaytay is always a convenient destination. Those who travel there frequently may already have their favorite restaurants.
If you’re looking for a refreshing restaurant to try out, though, you should check out Tipanan Restaurant. The place has a chic, Japandi-tropical interior but still serves familiar Filipino flavors.
The restaurant’s Japandi interior

The Filipino restaurant has a modern Japanese-Scandinavian interior that makes every corner Instagram-worthy.
It has white walls and wooden wall panels, made with light-colored wood, that are easy on the eyes. Wooden chairs and tables and woven bamboo light fixtures also tie the interior’s theme together.
The restaurant’s murals give it a tropical resort vibe

To give it a Filipino feel, tropical design is also incorporated in the restaurant’s interior. On Tipanan Restaurant’s vast feature wall are murals of tropical leaves painted by a team of local artists.

Patterned floor tiles also add a splash of color to the usual muted Japandi tones.
Bulares is one of the restaurant’s unique menu offerings

While Tipanan Restaurant’s interior might suggest otherwise, this dining spot serves Filipino flavors.
Their bulares (P465, ~USD9.22) is a cross between the well-loved dishes bulalo (bone-in beef shank soup) and pares (braised beef stew). They also have stir-fried prawns in salted egg sauce (P760, ~USD15.06) and pinakbet (P320, ~USD6.34), sauteed veggies in shrimp paste.
Krispy halo-halo

For dessert, the place offers Filipino Christmas favorites such as bibingka (coconut rice cake) and puto bumbong (purple rice cake) year-round.
However, their krispy halo-halo (P200, ~USD3.96) is something everyone should try. It takes the components of the classic Filipino shaved ice dessert – sans the ice – and turns it into a delightful fried treat.
Pets are also allowed inside the restaurant
