Mahogany Market

Mahogany Market is the most iconic bulalo destination in Tagaytay—but perhaps legendary is a more fitting term.

Found on the second floor of the Mahogany Meat Market is the famed bulalo strip where a stretch of food stalls similar to karinderyas or small eateries serve bowls after bowls of the comforting beef dish.

One interesting thing to note about the strip is the fact that all stalls serve bulalo at the same price of Php 350 (sometimes, you can even haggle)! And with how big the serving size is, two or more people can actually share on one heaping bowl.
