MANILA, Philippines - The food you and your family eat each day affects your health for a lifetime. It will determine how you feel today, tomorrow, and in the future. When it comes to eating healthy, restaurants have come a long way today and consumers are opting for healthier choices. Restaurant chains have responded by changing their menus to reflect how people want to eat. With today’s busy lifestyles, it’s not realistic to expect to eat at home all the time, so how do you make healthy choices when you go to a restaurant? Look for healthy alternatives.
Tagaytay Highlands, the country’s premier leisure destination, boasts a wide array of specialty restaurants, offering families healthy choices that take them on a gastronomic journey around the world.
First stop is the cowboy-theme inspired log cabin structure Highlander Steakhouse which does not only offer succulent steaks but a healthy seafood menu and salad choices as well.
Meanwhile, the Highlands Golf Clubhouse is every golfer’s destination. Try the delicious meals inside the two-storey Club. The first floor has the Golfers’ Lounge where international dishes are served from breakfast to dinner. Warm up a little and sip a cup of Amadeo’s famous kapeng barako to rouse your taste buds.
If you are craving kimchi, drop by at Chosun with its authentic Korean mainstay dishes.
A short drive from Highlands Golf Clubhouse is the Country Club. Considered as one of Highlands’ family recreational sports facilities, the Country Club introduces an alley of food outlets in a dining area called “Gourmet Avenue.” Situated at the newly refurbished second floor, Gourmet Avenue showcases Italian restaurant Toscana which offers a wide selection of pizzas and pastas and Akasaka which serves delicious Japanese cuisine.
Sugar-free loaves, cakes, and pastries are sold at the Bread Shop at the Country Club’s second floor. The baker’s selection includes freshly-baked sumptuous treats. One can’t leave without tasting the ube twist bread and Highlands’ fiber-enriched chewy oatmeal cookies which kids will surely love, too.
Overlooking the Country Club is Highlands China Palace known for its authentic Cantonese cuisine.
And finally, there’s Bistro Saratoga, the answer to everyone’s desire to have a healthy lifestyle as it offers preservative-free meals and organic dishes.
