Consider this my lucky day. Yes folks, we visited "The" Sonya's Garden in Alfonso, Cavite. And what can I say, much is said about this talk of the town - Bed and Breakfast. A romantic getaway, so great if you yearn for peace and quiet, very refreshing, just what you need for an amazing vacation and instant too - coz it's very near Manila. A lot of weddings take place in Sonya's. And who wouldn't love to? It's an amazingly beautiful place. We went there for a lunch, an eat-all-you-can. Someone really special took us there and it was a memorable experience -one that is climbing my chart of unforgettable places. We really love the food, the garden, the flower bowls, the bakeshop, and the rest rooms too! Oh how nice they are!
The restaurant is amazing in itself, it takes you back to your old Filipino heritage with their interiors. I love the salad menu and assortment of spreads into their high-fiber, healthy bread. The pesto is heavenly. The eat-all-you-can is not the usual buffet type. The salad, of course, is served first along with the bread and spreads.The leaves and fruits and nuts are served separately so you can create your own salad. They replenish whatever it is you want to get replenished. When you're done, then they would serve the pasta, you can also create your own pasta meal with the different sauces. They also replenish everything that you want. Cool! But I didn't get to enjoy it much coz I ate a lot, and I mean a lot, of salads already. So this is great if you are on a diet, really.
But I was told that the menu do not change very frequently, so it's not advisable to eat lunch there every now and then. You might want to go back there after a couple of months to see a different menu.
This photo above is that of the rest room in the restaurant my friends and I really liked. The capiz, wood, and curtains are all nostalgic Filipino. Meanwhile, the tea that they serve after the meal, fresh tarragon leaves, can be bought from their herbs garden. I bought myself a basil, tarragon, and mint. I'll put up my own herbs garden, just wait and see.
The things I fell for in this amazing place are its romantic nooks such as this one. So fairly tale-like. So many photos were taken in this area alone. Come and see Sonya's Garden for yourself. Bring along your special someone, it's a place meant for the romantic. If not, bring your friends along, or family perhaps, it's a nice place to experience. But remember, it's a quiet place, let's keep it that way when we visit. Cheers!
