So I've been eying this restaurant for lunch for quite sometime already. It's a quaint restaurant near that windmill feature at Tagaytay Crosswinds called CÀFE VOI LA. I remember it specifically because I loved its colorful bohemian-shabby chic interiors and I did buy a piece of cake from them before as pasalubong. It was pricey and (for my salary grade) meant for special occasions only. Anyway, the right time came, and I get to eat at Cafe Voi La with my colleagues.We ordered Fried Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Crispy Tamarind Prawns and their Signature Chicken Satay. Where to start? Not all lumpia are made equal, and this is one of the best I had. I think they used rice papers to wrap the meat(mental note to try this sometime). The prawns are good too but not so memorable. But the same cannot be said with their Chicken Satays and their peanut sauce! There is a reason it's their signature dish! Boy, I love it!!!For their service, understandably perhaps because of the pandemic, their staff was short thus food was served a bit late. But then again, they are serving less than 10 tables when we were there. Hmmmm.

Their ambiance and location are the only redeeming quality of the place. Otherwise, the long waiting time to be seated, long waiting time for the food, and the subpar quality of food does not really make the visit worth it. We were waiting for 30 minutes in line before we got to the seated waiting area. After that, we had to wait 20 more minutes to be seated. Then another 20 minutes for the food. Understandable that they are receiving a high volume of visitors and they are doing their best. But if you’re hungry and need to eat urgently, I would not recommend eating here.
