Great Experience - Edit
I came here alone after hiking Mt. Batulao last Sunday, and had the whole place for my own. Reservation is only required on weekdays.
Read moreIf you travel by public transport only, as I did: When you are on a bus or jeepney on the Tagaytay highway, no matter which direction, ask the driver to let you get off at "Buck Estate". There is a tricycle station on one side of the street, and tell them to bring you to "Sentro Botanikos" (single trip was PHP 45).
For the way back, you can either wait next to the street for an empty tricycle, or you walk back for about 10 minutes to the next intersection (coordinates on google maps: 14°05'16.9"N 120°51'02.4"E), there is something like a small booth / station to wait for tricycles / jeepneys. It was PHP 20 to get back to buck estate from there.
I wanted to eat two dishes, and asked for recommendations: Mushroom Sisig and Pasiw na M'chon. The former came in a small cast iron and was a little bit oily, the latter had a crunchy consistency and a nice sauce. They have rice in five colors (white: plain, yellow: tumeric, blue: Clitoria ternatea flowers, green: I forgot, red: naturally red rice, which they didn't have when I visited); For drinks, I went with a fruit shake, for which they recommended "cucumber lime" - it was refreshing, but could have been more sour for my taste.
The location itself is in a nice rustic cottage with big windows. Overall, highly recommended to go there when visiting Tagaytay.

Good food, great ambiance - Edit
A cute rustic restaurant in the middle of a farm. My friends and I went here in 2022, they require reservation and pre-ordering days prior to your visit. My non-vegan friends liked the food too.

Botanikos Eco-Farm - Edit
Get ready for a culinary adventure to the Philippines, vegan-style! If you're a fan of Filipino flavors, then you're in for a delicious experience. The restaurant might be a little hard to find, but trust me, it's worth the hunt. Once you step inside, you'll be smitten with the cozy and welcoming atmosphere, not to mention the incredibly friendly staff. Now, the food, oh the food! It may be a bit too oily and sweet for my personal taste, but everyone I've brought here can't get enough of it. With a wide variety of dishes to choose from, you'll be sure to find something to fall in love with. So, put on your stretchy pants and come on over for a tasty and unforgettable experience!

Best vegetarian cafe in Tagaytay! - Edit
We have been coming here often before the pandemic and have missed their dishes. Coming back today, I think it has even improved. Must try the lechon paksiw, adobo ni Lola, mushroom sisig and bacon tempura and finish off with their halo halo! Perfect Tagaytay trip!

Cons: Just a bit far from Makati. But worth it.

Good food, awesome scenery - Edit
It's a rustic, cool café inside a small farm which serves good vegetarian/vegan food for sharing. Super love the couple behind it and their staff. Very accommodating and great service.
