Looking for a peaceful and cozy place in Tagaytay to have a good meal, Read today’s Food and Leisure section of the Philippine StarMore photos and the menu here 🙂
A few weeks ago we went all the way to Tagaytay and it was worth it
It’s so romantic here, my couple friends had to HHWW haha!!
Tita Ica told me that the theme of the place was supposed to be Swiss which explains why the facade of the building looks like this, but she managed to mix everything with what she wanted to create and she says it is an extension of her home- When you go inside that is how her home feels and looks like. She is in a way sharing herself and her home with the people who come to try her cooking
Kaffir lime leaves which she grows in the garden of the restaurant – Boi la means cooking with leaves 🙂 Cafe Voi La
Tita Ica tells me that I should go back at sunset so I can see the fog from her place 🙂
It’s not only Asian food and pizza but she has steaks as well!!
Since everyone always takes the view from the front ( and its the most photographed part of the restaurant ) I am showing the view from the side 🙂
Collection of jars from all over the world
Delicious lunch spread made with love
Food always tastes better when shared with great company. Thank you to my good friends Ned and Janet for accompanying us. This is proof that I did not eat all that by myself! haha 🙂
Breads are all made in the restaurant
Special Senator’s salad which is named after Senator Villar who owns the development where they are in – Crosswinds, Swiss Luxury Resort, Tagaytay, one of Britanny’s luxury collection. The area is past the beautiful Starbucks in the main road. Driver further and it is still in a quiet part where there are not too many developments yet so it is nice to go now!
Cafe Voi La Signature Satays – A MUST!!!!
Cafe Voi la Signature Satay – Chicken, Beef, Prawn and Pork still grilling as they place the Balinese griller on the table. Make sure to eat the turmeric rice with authentic turmeric from Vietnam
I love that her curry is not spicy. I wrote about this in the article
Delicious Pad Thai inspired from Chiang Mai. Quite a big portion and could be good for 3 to 5 people
Tita Ica is very particular about her food and drinks – she told me that when she goes to Starbucks she tells them what to do! haha!! So be assured that all her concoctions are unique to her recipes 🙂
Cafe Voi La’s Vietnamese coffee which uses coconut milk! Sip it from the bottom to the top. A must try!
Thai Iced coffee – This time sip from top to bottom! 🙂
Bar 🙂
I remember one very important message from Tita Ica that day – she told me that if you want something or you want to do something, you can always do it if you really want to. It’s very true and can be applied to many things in our life. Don’t say you cannot cook or you cannot build your own dream home, because if you really want to, you will do it 🙂
You can arrange to pick up the whole cakes from Alabang -just call them and let them know
A MUST! The cheesecakes!! Salted Caramel Cheesecake!
By the end of July, they will be opening the basement of Cafe Voi La which will have a bakeshop. As you enter, it will be the bakeshop which is this
and a wine bar in partnership with Jim Araneta of the Bottle Shop called the GoDown. They will be serving pintos and craft beers, and wine and cocktails, whisky and more! A good reason to go back!
