{food finds} Breakfast at Antonio's

Mike and I spent the Chinese New Year holiday this year food-tripping at Tagaytay with our then three-month old Terrynator. Our first stop was Breakfast at Antonio's.

We read so many rave reviews about Breakfast at Antonio's. So we were pretty excited to find out for ourselves just how good the breakfast joint really is.

We arrived a little past 8 in the morning and the restaurant's parking lot was already full. We had to park by the roadside, but still in front of the restaurant. We waited 30 minutes to be seated. The waiting area was packed!

We got one of the tables near the window, which to us offered the best spot in the house--bright, chilly, with a view to boot.

The menu was extensive and everything looked really interesting. Mike and I usually order two different dishes and share, so that we get to taste both dishes. Mike chose the Eggs Benedict while I chose the Reuben Sandwich. For drinks, Mike had the Hot Chocolate, while I had the White Chocolate.

The Eggs Benedict was on the petite side, but the taste made up for the size. I was not a fan of the smoked ham which was a bit tart, but Mike said he liked it. On the other hand, the Reuben was gigantic and quite filling--a bit dry though. Our hot chocolate beverages were extremely rich and comforting.

Overall, the food was ok, just really pricey. For so little, we paid over a thousand pesos already. I suppose that's how much the Tagaytay ambiance cost.
