Whenever there’s a long weekend coming up, a trip to Tagaytay is almost always a given. But, with how unpredictable traffic down south can get, we almost never know exactly what time we’ll arrive—you’re often likely to end up getting to the city in the wee hours of the morning. This is why it’s best to be prepared with a list of restaurants in Tagaytay that are open round-the-clock is a must. We’ve prepared a list of restaurants open 24 hours in the city, from all-day breakfast places to cafes and bulalohans.
All-Day Breakfast
Bayani Tapsi
The quintessential Tagaytay breakfast is tapsilog, and you can get that and more any time of the day at Bayani Tapsi. You can go for Tapa Ni Rizal (P95), or tapa cooked sweet, asado-style, or their signature, tender and garlicky Bayani Beef Tapa (P95). Aside from tapsilog, Bayani Tapsi also offers other kinds of silog like Pork Tocino (P85) and Fried Chicken Silog (P90).
Bayani Tapsi is at 249 Francisco, Santa Rosa Road, Tagaytay City.
