We decided to take a break spending the a couple of weekdays and a weekend in Tagaytay last June. We figured the weekdays were quite perfect for a getaway considering most people were at work or in school. Our assumption turned out correct as there were generally few people at the restaurants and other places of interest in the city. It was definitely unlike the typical crowded weekends when we were in Tagaytay for a breather.
Our first stop was a place where we could have our lunch. We left Antipolo in the mid morning and decided to drive straight to Tagaytay without any stops along the way. If we had left early, we could have made a stop at the Paseo in Sta. Rosa but since we made quite good time during the drive, we proceeded to Tagaytay for a late lunch. We had no trouble choosing a place to eat and a space for parking as there were few people going around the restaurant strip along the national highway. Nakakapanibago! As we were already hungry, we decided to have lunch at The Grill, which is part of the popular Antonio's group of restaurants in Tagaytay.

| Chicken inasal and lumpiang shanghai for the main course of our lunch. |
 |
| Mango & sago (tapioca pearls) |
 |
| Leche flan just the way we like it... |
We had a great lunch at The Grill and were definitely stuffed afterwards. And so we decided to transfer to another place to have some coffee and hot chocolate before we proceeded to the bed & breakfast place where we stayed during our getaway. The Clairvoyant actually wanted to try out Breakfast at Antonio's when we arrived in Tagaytay. We learned later the following day that the place was relatively a long way off from Tagaytay proper (about 15 to 20 minute drive from the rotunda). We'll probably try that one out the next time we are in the area for some R&R.
