Antonio’s revisited!

April 27th, 2010

My best friend Bob paid me a visit over the weekend. I was so excited to have him over and take him around. He took along his partner Kelvin. Bob and Kelvin live in Shanghai and it was Kelvin’s first time in the Philippines. Every time I have visitors I always take them to Antonio’s in Tagaytay. It is simply the best restaurant in the Philippines!

I love what they did with the entrance foyer. The pale blue walls is just soothing and the photos on the walls gives this place a sense of heritage. It is like going to a house of a wealthy haciendero!

What a great idea! I love it!

I love the fact that we can make a day trip to see the volcano and end up having the most splendid meal! I have not been back to Antonio’s for what seemed to be like forever and so it was really such a treat! What I love about this place apart from the excellent food is really the impeccable personal service that each and every person there selflessly offers their clients.

The best place for a romantic date! I have known several couples getting engaged here.

: Kelvin and Bob await our meal.

: The view from where I sat.

Beautiful details.

: The main dining hall!

Don't you just love the tiles?

Bumped into the FASHION TRIBE of Daryl and Andre Chang! I love seeing them as they always make me smile!

Your heart just fills up when Tony Boy ( The chef and brains behind Antonio’s) comes out and says hello. He does this to all his guests. If you’re in the mood for a really amazing food trip then I suggest you make plans to go to Antonio’s. The experience is mind blowing!!!!

The meal began with the house salad and the most plump scallops with watermelon! It was so refreshing!

I think I will try to do this is my next kitchen adventure.

Then our sea food sampler arrived which was just DIVINE!!!! I loved how TonyBoy played with subtle paradoxes of crunch and creamy with sweet and salty.

The boys and I decided to take on a full proper porter house steak! It was absolutely beautiful!!!!!

: My plate! Pa-demure muna!

Dessert came in 3 forms but only manage to take a photo of the profierole. The rest magically disappeared! LOL!

Kelvin and I hug it out! LOL!

Please call to make a reservation and have them give you a detailed description on how to get there because you might get lost, however I think that is part of the charm and the fun. Call Antonio’s Restaurant 046-4130975 and +63918-8992866. NOW NA!!!! LOL!

HUGS!

RAJO!
