picturesque here in Tagaytay City, we go here just to relax and also treat
ourselves with some good food in a place with cold weather. Lots of restaurants
and hotels are already been booked during the weekends and also every special
days, If you are looking for something new and worth for the experience, then
check out my post here about my visit in Discovery Country Suites in Tagaytay
City and their restaurant – Restaurant Verbena.
If you are looking for
nice weekend getaway and treat with your mom this coming Mother’s Day (May 10),
here’s a sneak peak of Discovery Country Suites in Tagaytay City and Restaurant
Verbena’s offerings this Mother’s Day.
Here’s a teaser - they offer a
special promo rate for overnights with breakfast and sundown cocktails, outdoor
movies, free head massages for moms, dessert buffet or afternoon high tea, and
special menu for Mother’s Day at Restaurant Verbena this Mother’s Day.
Discovery
Country Suites is a bed and breakfast lodging establishment with a 5-star
quality facilities, bed, rooms and also a dining resto. I thought that I have
seen the best of hotels and bed and breakfast in Tagaytay City, and when I went
here, I thought that I was in a big hotel but located in the southern province
of our country. Take note that Discovery Country Suites have 3 Deluxe Suites, 2
Premiere Suites and 1 Master Suites.
Entrance
I’ve
learned that this was a former guest house and then it was converted by the
owners into a high grade bed and breakfast establishment
Staffs
and guards are in costume to match the theme of being in a country
side.
Restaurant
Verbena is a stand alone brand that resides inside Discovery Country Suites,
it’s open everyday and they welcome walk in diners.
I’m very surprised
that this resto attracts lots of staycationers and Manileno’s whenever they
visit Tagaytay. Since last year, I always see this resto whenever we pass by
going to Picnic Grove, and I’m always curious and want to drop by for coffee.
Well, finally I’m here na!

Its
so soft and tasty, The recipe of this roasted chicken will remind you of your
mother or grand mother that always cooks the best food at home.

”Creamy crab and shrimp penne with roasted bell peppers,
gratinated with emmenthal cheese”

Seafood Bouillabaisse
I super love this..and the fish meat inside this bowl.
It’s the most tastiest seafood here in Tagaytay.
I hope that they can offer
this in a regular season.

tenderloin stuffed with truffle mushrooms and wrapped in bacon
For me, this
is the holy grail in Restaurant Verbena…Im adding this now in my list of
