    Crispy Whole Lapu-Lapu (Php 1,285)

    A satiating meal of their must-try Crispy Whole Lapu-Lapu, seasoned with vegetables and lemon slices and served with soy sauce and tomato dip, will be complemented by a refreshing view of the hotel garden and the Taal volcano and lake.

    Beef Steak Tagalog (Php 610)

    Their Beef Steak Tagalog, a very Filipino dish, will perfectly enhance the countryside feels of your dining experience. Made with marinated beef strips, stir-fried onions, soy sauce, calamansi, and shallot pepper oil, this savory dish will have you calling out for another cup of rice.

    But before you find the good food, you need to find the place first. Driving along Tagaytay-Calamba road, you’ll most likely turn your head to an attractive and cozy looking country-style home on the side of the road. There you will find a small wooden signage that says “Restaurant Verbena” below another that says “Country Suites.”

    Once you enter Discovery Country Suites, you will spot Restaurant Verbena right away. It is a spacious dining area on the ground floor of the hotel that lets you feel the breeze and get a good view of nature from the patio.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
