Manos Greek Taverna - Tagaytay FoodTrip #3

Day 2 in Tagaytay. After a hearty breakfast of poached egg, pandesal and assorted cold cuts, we left Sunrise Holiday Mansions to go visit the chapel at Pink Sisters and the chapel at Angel's Camp. For lunch we decided to go to the Greek Restaurant near the Tagaytay rotunda going towards the road to Sta. Rosa.

Mano's Greek Taverna is not hard to miss with its light blue and white sign. As you enter the resto greek music and greek pictures/ art greet you. Tables and chairs are simple fare but that will not get in the way to getting to eat good food!! We ordered Pasta Tomato soup and Saganaki (Shrimp, feta cheese and bread cubes in tomato sauce) as appetizers. My grandfather ordered the Grilled porkchops, my grandmother ordered the Cabbage rolls and I ordered the Mousaka (180php). The Pasta Tomato soup was really good, they used superb fresh tomatoes to really drive the taste of the soup! The Saganaki was ok - I had allergies that day so i wasn't really able to enjoy it because as I took as spoonful I was fretting over a possible allergic reaction! truly woe is me! :( The Grilled porkchops were grilled to perfection! It was really good - that it did not need any sauce to add to the flavor!! I'll say that the Cabbage rolls are for an acquired taste. It has rice and ground beef inside the cabbage exterior and is served covered in lemon-tasting-like sauce. The Cabbage rolls were ok, but if you are like my grandmother that enjoyed the sour flavoring added by lemon-like sauce then it would be delicious for you! haha!! I was initially disappointed with the Mousaka when it was being served - no side dish? no rice? or at least veggies? But the taste made all the difference!! It was not as rich as the Mousaka at Cafe Med, but it was still flavorful that made you want to finish it!

For healthy Greek food in a cool Al fresco setting, head over to Mano's Greek Taverna!

The Greek Taverna is located right before you reach the Tagaytay rotunda coming from Sta. Rosa.
