My favorite Japanese restaurant! My friends and I got the gyoza and okonomiyaki to share. Both reallyyy good. The friendly staff and cool ambience makes eating here a fun experience. They also have a good selection of ice cream!

The gf and I spent our anniversary getaway this week in cozy Tagaytay, and we were looking for a new place to dig in before we head back to Manila. Fortunately, we found Lime and Basil here in website! Tip: use Waze when going here as the roads leading to it will get confusing (there was a closure on one of the main roads leading to the resto when we visited) and it is not along the main Tagaytay-Calamba RoadFood: (4.5/5) We enjoyed all our orders but most especially the Bagoong Rice, Tom Yum and the Catfish Salad. Legit Thai food and will give any Thai resto here in the country a serious run for their money. Portions were very big, good for two to three people to share, but flavorful enough that one very hungry person could finish! I liked the iced Thai coffee I ordered also, and such a shame, that we were so full by the end of the main courses that we weren’t able to order dessertPlace: (5/5, if pwede 6/5 pa!) Lime and Basil is what every resto in Tagaytay should look and feel like. Peaceful, clean, surrounded by nature. You’ll forget all the hustles and bustles of life when you dine here, as you’ll get inspired by the serenity around you. The only small downside is the lack of parking space, though there’s a person who will assist and lead you to where you can park outside the resto.Service: (5/5) As previously stated, there’s someone who will help you from the moment you park your car. Servers were also gracious enough to find us a table even if we we didn’t have a reservation, and service was very very quick. Waiting time for food was faster than what we expected for a place so full.Value for Money: (5/5) The price more than justifies the quality and the amount of food served to you. As said before, all orders were good for sharing and they even have complimentary fish crackers with a yummy fish sauce-calamansi dip.I highly recommend everyone to try and dine at Lime and Basil when they go to Tagaytay. It’s well worth the drive!
