Introduction: Abagatan ti Manila – Alfonso, Cavite

Abagatan ti Manila Hotel and Restaurant
You can locate their Garden restaurant inside the Abagatan ti Manila Hotel area. The hotel’s name “Abagatan ti,” which translates to “South of” in Ilocano, signifying “South of Manila.”
Interestingly, the restaurant came into existence by chance. Initially, it was a part of the hotel’s interior. However, when the pandemic struck in 2020, the hotel management needed to set up outdoor dining to adhere to the health guidelines. This led to the creation of the Garden Restaurant, which has been serving customers ever since.

We took a drive to Tagaytay for a coffee break and headed straight to Starbucks Twin Lakes. As lunchtime approached, we wanted to find a nearby spot for a quick brunch. While checking the map, we unexpectedly came across Abagatan ti Manila, just a short drive from Twin Lakes.

The place is filled with lush greenery and encircled by trees. In the middle, or just a short stroll away, there’s a human-made pond where ducks paddle about. You can even step onto a floating platform to get closer for better photo opportunities.
