Sartin: A Collection of Timeless Homemade Filipino Recipes
Last weekend, I was invited to go to Tagaytay City for the grand opening of Sartin Restaurant. Located in Summit Ridge, it is a 90minute drive from Manila.
Poised to become the next food hotspot in Tagaytay as it complements the city’s suburban vibe with a delectable menu, comforting ambiance and outstanding service. Expect a world-class food experience at Sartin through authentic Filipino dishes.
“Tagaytay is a perfect location for our first F & B operations management because aside from its picturesque views and cool climate, it is a culinary destination on its own. We want to make the Tagaytay experience more exciting and delicious for tourists and locals,” says Fresh Versoza, Chief Operating Officer of Josiah’s Catering, Inc.

I really enjoyed the food here at Sartin. I recommend to try everything that I have posted above because they are all so good! I felt like I travelled to all three regions just by visiting the restaurant in Tagaytay City. The servings are perfect for sharing and are priced reasonably. A perfect destination for family and friends who are looking to explore more outside Metro Manila or to have a quick escape from the busy metro.
