As Tagaytay City’s first greenhouse café, it seamlessly blends a vibrant plant collection with a cozy dining space. Upon entering, guests are greeted by over 60 varieties of rare and exotic plants–from hanging ferns to potted plants–sourced from various parts of the Philippines and Asia. Natural light streams through the glass panels, making the café feel bright and airy, while rustic touches like woven lamps and wooden tables add a cozy charm. It’s the perfect mix of laid-back and Instagrammable, with every corner begging for a photo. It not only provides a feast for the eyes but also offers patrons the opportunity to purchase these botanical treasures.

When it comes to food, Greenhouse Café doesn’t disappoint with its hearty and flavorful offerings. A must-try is their Kinamatisang Pampano, a fresh and tangy dish made from pampano fish simmered in a tomato-based broth. For meat lovers, the Pork Belly Slab Adobo takes a classic Filipino favorite to the next level with its perfectly tender pork belly slow-cooked in a savory and slightly sweet adobo sauce. And of course, no Tagaytay visit is complete without a bowl of their Bulalo—a rich and comforting beef shank soup loaded with vegetables, corn, and marrow goodness that warms your body and soul up with every spoonful.

The combination of natural light, verdant surroundings, and the cool Tagaytay breeze creates a serene environment perfect for relaxation, casual gatherings, or even intimate celebrations. The café’s pet-friendly policy further adds to its appeal by welcoming guests to enjoy the space with their furry companions.
While walk-ins are welcome, it’s advisable to make reservations, especially on weekends, to ensure a hassle-free dining experience.
