Cafe Breton

Cafe Breton is known for its crepes, coffee, and posh, French-like shop. According to Cafe Breton, “Britain” is short for Great Britain, and a “Briton” is a native of Great Britain. “Brittany” is a region of France, and a “Breton” is a native of Brittany. Thus, the name of the cafe.

Me at Cafe Breton

I have only been at Cafe Breton twice but I am already loving this chic cafe. So far, La Creperie was my go-to crepe place but now I am adding Cafe Breton on the list. I just wished there was a nearer branch from my abode in Pasig City. Let’s hang out there..

Crepes are one of the few things where hot and cold meet to create something awesome. The crepe is hot, the filling can be cold and sometimes it is topped with ice cream which is colder. When these elements marry each other, a great dessert is made.

Tagaytay is the nearest destination you can go to from Manila if you want to escape the busy city. Tagaytay is popular for it’s amazing sight of the Taal Volcano and it’s endless offering of gastronomic goodness. Foodies and travelers alike find Tagaytay as one of the most charming cities that you can drive to in an hour from Manila (especially there is no traffic jam).

If I want to find solitude with a breathe of fresh cool air, I just drive to Tagaytay. Especially now that it’s scorching hot in the city, Tagaytay is the place I can go to where I can cool off and unwind. (Baguio is just too far.)

Me and my partner in crime, Isabel, reached Tagaytay around lunch time so we had to look for a good place to dine. I was searching for Buon Giorno and I think this time, Google Maps is just wrong. I reached Nasugbu without seeing the Cliff House. My friends say it isn’t far the Starbucks in Tagaytay but Google Maps said it is still way after Bag of Beans. Oh men, next time I know where to look for it.

I saw Sonya’s Garden along the way but I don’t think I can handle a buffet meal at that time. So, we chose to go to Breakfast at Antonio’s.

Though Breakfast at Antonio’s is  far from the main road of Tagaytay, it isn’t difficult to find because there are many signs along the way pointing to the restaurant. You may even find a sign with a cute blogger pointing to the breakfast house.

Awww. Just your luck! Lol!

When you reach the place, it shows a friendly atmosphere that brings you closer to nature. It’s relaxing and being in Antonio’s made me feel like I was on a long vacation in a far away place.

I didn’t mind dining Al Fresco because of the cool breeze and the awesome view of nature. You can dine outdoors or indoors. Both locations are awesome.
