Dine Under the Stars by Mon’s Restaurant: A Romantic Spot to Dine!
“Farm to plate” kind of dining. This is what Mon’s Restaurant is all about. In collaboration with their in-house source, WIN (We Lead Integrated Natural) Farm, the said restaurant promises its customers a healthy and quality dining experience as their ingredients are straight out of their own organic farm cooked to perfection. Specializing on Filipino cuisine, this restaurant has truly become remarkable for its signature dishes are prepared with a contemporary touch and twist.
My Mon’s Restaurant Experience
I have dined on several occasions at Mon’s restaurant and never would I not return because the service and the food per se are outstanding making it worth the come back. I have tried a lot from their menu – their breakfast, desserts, drinks, snacks, main course and others. What makes it different from the other restaurants is that, theirs is purely organic and they have experimented on fusing the ingredients of a dish to the unlikely ones creating a unique satisfying taste say for instance the buko pancit, adobong manok sa tablea, crispy kare-kare, sinigang trio and others. Among the must try dishes are the following:
 |
| The Mangga Plate and Taywanak Choice for breakfast. Mangga plate is composed of their home-made sausage, bacon, sauteed mushroom and mashed potato. Taywanak choice on the other hand is composed of beef tapa, danggit, buco atsara and fried rice. These meals come with a cup of hot chocolate. |
 |
| Adobong Manok sa Tablea, a signature dish. |
|
| Calamares |
 |
| Mon’s Restaurant’s Bulalo |
 |
| Pancit Canton |
 |
| Crispy kare-kare, this is among their specialties! |
 |
| Sinigang Trio – it is composed of the usual sinigang vegetables topped with crispy chunks of pork and beef and some shrimps.

Dine Under the Stars
More than its mouthwatering food, what has truly made Mon’s Restaurant remarkable for me is their ‘Dine Under the Stars’. First introduced in 2015, Mon’s Restaurant offers a whole new dining experience as it lets you enjoy their food under the stellar canopy and capiz lamps hanging on the trees. The sporadic light from these sources add up to the romantic ambiance not to mention the soft music that plays at the background. There ain’t no classic Tiffany chairs; just some cushions and a knee-high tables set up on the grass. It is made even fancy since the table has a fine dining set up coupled with few dream catchers, greeting boards with calligraphy, fairy lights and canopy depending on the package that the guest would avail. This set up is only available from 6:99 PM to 9:00 PM.
