Underrated beautiful and unique!

Mar 2023 • none

Underrated and beautiful place, lots of green scenery and unique decor and setting, murals and colorful plates and decoration. We were the only people here which surprised me! The food is delicious and good for it's price, as well as the cute boutiques and pastrie shop, it feels as if you are out of country for awhile. The boutique has a cute selection of jewelry, bags and dresses that are all unique finds in its own way and the servers we're very polite and courteous :))

Great food, ambient and relaxing atmosphere, worth it!

Apr 2023 • none

Food is definitely worth the price. Ordered their Carbonara, Seafood Pasta, Burger, and the Lequestria Salad; price seemed expensive at first but the taste and serving size justified it! The staff are attentive and friendly. The ambiance is nice and relaxing. Overall, the dining experience here is pleasant; we'll be coming back again for sure!

You get what you pay for

Apr 2023 • none

Food is as great as its ambience. Peaceful and above the typical so the price may be within average it slightly above but you get what you paid for. Food is in generous serving and served on time and visually enticing. Food is nice but you may may find there filipino menu a bit lacking on taste since its Europeanized. Nevertheless great food. Service is also top the notch. Kudos to the team specially our server Ryan. Hopefully wider array of choices for food

LEQUESTRA RESTAURANT A MIXED FEELINGS REVIEW

Apr 2023 • none

As a family of seven, we were excited to try out this establishment, but our experience left us with mixed feelings. Although the wait staff were friendly and accommodating, the food didn't quite live up to its price point. In fact, we were disappointed to find that some parts of our Pompano dish were still undercooked, and the Pork Liempo was also undercooked. However, the oriental beef was a true standout - its succulent flavor tantalized our taste buds and left us wanting more. Despite our mixed experience, we were grateful for the accommodating service from the wait staff. If you're looking for a unique culinary experience, LEQUESTRIA Restaurant may be worth checking out. While the food can be hit-or-miss in terms of quality, the friendly and welcoming atmosphere makes it a great option for a casual evening out with friends or family.

Best Laksa in PH coming from a Laksa addict.

Apr 2023 • none

Huge servings! Yung laksa at nasi goreng ay legit na laksa at nasi goreng na same taste ng sa singapore! A little high on the price but considering how big the servings are, mas ok kung sharing ang orders instead of one order person especially yung Laksa at Pansit! Maganda din yung place mejo malayo lang kung compared sa mga ibang kainan sa tagaytay pero if you want different kind of food especially asian food, this is a good place to go!

total definition of exceeding expectations

Oct 2023 • friends

The food, the service, the ambience, everything was 5 stars for us. We highly recommend!! We went to Alfonso for my best friend's wedding. We arrived late at the accommodation, so we went out for a quick dinner run at the first fast food chain we see. We already passed this restaurant because my husband thought it was a hotel. I said I saw "restaurant" in your sign. We went back. No other cars was parked. We thought it was closed as it was around 8pm already. Christian, the best server in town, greeted us and advised immediately that the kitchen closes at 830pm so we had to order asap. At that time, I thought twice of going inside, but he said "last call at 830 but we can stay for another hour." When he gave us the menu, we thought it was just a café with pasta and some rice bowls to offer. Surprisingly they had a lot, different cuisines, Filipino, Italian, Indian, Mediterranean. And to be honest it was expensive! Thought of ordering the cheapest from the menu. But it was not often that we go out of town with friends so why not. Once he started serving, we were in awe. Everything was commendable, the plating, the portion, the taste was excellent! We understood the price. ;-) My husband tried to ask if he could order a bowl of rice, even just the local Filipino rice (his order was Nasi Goreng) and they did not disappoint! They gave him a bowl of plain rice, on the house! While we were eating, he asked for the bill to be cleared, which we totally understand, as their cashier is closing up shop. When we were almost done with out meal, the bride messaged us if we could buy her some coffee. We then again asked Christian, our superman server, if we can still order. And even they already closed, they still accommodated us. So we still ordered more, coffee and cake to come with. We spent more than our budget but it was worth every penny!! Sorry readers, my review was quite a story because it was a very amazing experience not to share. :)

Oct 2023 • couples

Wobderful ambience, spacious accommodations, and good customer service. Would highly recommebd the pizza, smoothies, morrocan green mint tea, and pastries. Lots to choose from, all excellent so far and worth the drive to Tagaytay. Don't hesitate to stop by if you're nearby.

Relaxing atmosphere with authentic choices from around the world.

Sep 2023 • couples

Lequestria is a place where my wife and I have dined many times. We like the variety of the menu which includes dishes from India and other parts of Asia, as well as the Philippines. They also have some great sandwiches, pasta and pizza. Every dish which we have ordered tastes authentic and is really good quality. The setting is a relaxing garden setting, and the staff is attentive and friendly. And I can't forget to mention some great dessert choices from their bake shop! Another plus is spacious parking.

DISSAPOINTED!! 😤

Dec 2024 • family

Very dissatisfied with their service; even though they were just serving two tables, it was terrible. Employees were not attentive. It took a while to get the sisig and rice I ordered for take away, but it was fine.. But when it was taking too long, I asked how long it would take, and that's the only time they asked the kitchen. The staff returned to tell me it was ready, but she hadn't gotten the food, so she went back to get it. Afterwards, we had to ask for disposable utensils because they were not provided. We had to tell her again after 10 minutes had passed, and the staff had arrived without the utensils we had requested! We had to ask for disposable utensils because they were not provided. After ten minutes, the staff arrived without the utensils we had asked for, so we had to tell her again, which took ten more minutes!The staff saw that my child had spilt his water bottle by accident, yet she did nothing. She simply looked back when I gazed at her. I had to request another clean plate and ask her to get a cloth. Although the food was good, our experience was ruined by the service.

Nice restaurant and great dining experience. Mushroom and pumpkin soups have big portions and really good, Quattro formaggi pizza was delicious and carbonara was rich but not overpowering . Went on a weekday so we really felt the ambience and serene vibes

Manila

A Dining Gem in Alfonso!

Apr 2023 • couples

Al fresco setting is ideal especially during these days when most people ar sour but Covid is still around. The general vibe of resto is laid back French-Filipino setting which is a pop of surprise in the area. Food quality is great and ambiance is commendable. Owners had a great idea of having bistro, boutique and bakery appointed in one spot which again makes it a go-to area for dining experience and bit of shopping. Service took a tad while but given the ambiance, it’s hard to be bored. It was a long way from Manila but worth the detour. Keep it up and all the best!

Awesome breakfast experience!

Aug 2023 • couples

Had a good time at this place. - The place looks very nice and has a relaxing vibe. - Food is good. Price is a bit on the high side, but so is the quality. Plating was excellent. Longganisa was good. Sunny side up eggs we're cooked just the way I like it. - Service provided by Andrew was excellent. He was very friendly and enthusiastically answered our questions. You can tell that he loves his job. He also offered to replace our coffee when my wife mentioned that it was already cold when our food arrived. (coffee was served hot early, but was already cold when our food arrived)

Lequestria, best fine dining in Tagaytay

Nov 2023 • friends

This restaurant is amazing and well worth the effort to get there from the middle of Tagaytay. A well balanced menu and all of our party's food was fresh, perfectly prepared and delicious! We were well filled, but couldn't resist taking a variety of the deserts from the bakery back to our hotel. The chocolate orange truffle was amazing! If you are looking for a fine dining culinary adventure in Tagaytay, make the effort to go to Lequestria!

Stumbled upon this hidden gem on our trip to alfonso. We had a great experience, from the ambiance to the food to the service! Our server was Sir Andrew and he was very accomodating, even takes great photos! Everything we ordered was delicious and worth the price. The little boutique also offers some really nice, locally made clothing. Highly recommend, esp for special occasions.
