Only very few will have the courage and sense of adventure to go as far as Tagaytay for a first date. This will require at least an hour’s road trip from Manila, which can mean two things: lots of awkward silences or belting out songs together. This kind of first date is definitely a risk, but if it pays off, you’ll have a solid foundation to a potential relationship.

Don’t worry. If all goes south, the excellent service, scrumptious food and breathtaking view at Breakfast at Antonio’s can still save your first date.
