Marcia Adam's: Sweet Weekend Brunch (Tagaytay Alfonso Cavite)

Marcia Adam's is one of my aunt's favorite places and because she super adored every visit, we were convinced to visit it too.

I've read in blogs that we should reserve ahead because they have limited dining space so we did. 

To our surprise, the place was huge and there were different types of dining areas. 


Since we had a reservation, we were ushered to our allocated table passing by the lush green garden.


and other dining areas.

I can see why my aunt loved it here.  Everything is artsy from the structureseven to the littlest details like the utensils.

Dining here felt like your in the comforts of your own home but with the refreshing atmosphere of your dream garden.

It was a cool drizzling day but being in Marcia Adam's Tuscany made us feel like we were bask in bright sunshine and embraced by the colors of spring flowers. 

It's amazing how so many different things chime in as one.   The food takes a while to be served but we didn't mind as we found the place enchanting and we took it a chance to have a fun bonding time. 

Food

Complimentary Bread

Having travelled all the way there, we appreciated the Complimentary Bread as soon as it landed on our well-decorated table.


Salads(additional 75 php to substitute the included appetizer)

♥ Provolone Melon and Arugula Salad (325 php)

The Provolone Melon and Arugula Salad was served in a beautiful form of a flower.  It has some proscuitto, provolone cheese, arugula and melon balls.  It was sprinkled with a sweet and tangy raspbery vinaigrettte.


Appetizers

Soup of the Day (Bacon and Potato)

For such a cold weather, the Bacon and Potatogave us a pleasing warmth from our mouths to our bellies.

Amalfi Prawns

The Amalfi Prawns are rather small fried and bread prawns with subtle marinade of salt, pepper, olive oil and parsley.  Perhaps, I was too famished as it only took me a few seconds to pop these onto my mouth and they were gone. 


Main Course (Minimum of 700 php per person and comes with the appetizer and dessert

Kebabs

♥ Beef Tenderloin and Bacon Kebabs (875 php)

The Beef Tenderloin and Bacon Kebabs was one of the best dishes that we tried.  The beef tenderloin was so savory and succulent.  The only draw back was that we were almost finished before this dish was served.

Fish Souvalaki (700 php)

The Fish Souvalaki for that day was tanigue.  It was somewhat dry so we regretted not ordering a more meaty option instead.

♥ Grilled Aromatic Pork (700 php)

The Grilled Aromatic Pork is a must try!  I can't really pinpoint their blend of herbs and spices but it was definitely good!

Italian Pork Chop (795 php)

The Italian Pork Chop was something new for us as well.  It was not the usually sweet marinade that we are used to.  It was lightly seasoned. 

Stews and Casserole 

♥ Spanish Bean Stew (700 php)

Prior to this, the only bean stew I've tried is the canned Hunt's Pork and Beans.  Since the price disparity is huge, the taste is also that much of a difference.  I loved the Spanish Bean Stew!  ButI think I'll settle for the canned version for most daysdue to affordability.

♥ Spanish Chicken Casserole (755 php)

The Spanish Chicken Casserole was another dish that gained most approval.  It's so good, it will make you eat more rice!


Pasta

♥ Ai Funghi (765 php)

The Ai Funghi was simple but the freshness of the mushrooms gave it a big boost.

Bolognese (765 php)

I liked that the Bolognese was tangy rather than sweet but other than that, it didn't have much leverage compared to the other dishes.


Desserts

♥ Panna Cotta with Lemon Sauce

The Panna Cotta with Lemon Sauce is a great way to end the meal.  It's citrus flavors will cleanse and refresh your palate.

Strawberry Yoghurt Ice Cream with Berry Compote

The Strawberry Yoghurt Ice Cream with Berry Compote brings a mellow tangy berry flavor that will reset your tongue into clean cool slate.

Banana Split with Chocolate Ice Cream

The Banana Split with Chocolate Ice Cream is my least favorite dessert.  THe fried banana slices and chocolate were too heavy for a finale.

♥ Lemon Cheesecake (add 75 php to main course)

The best choice but comes with additional price is the Lemon Cheesecake.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Marcia Adam's Tuscany offers a unique atmosphere paired with their unique quality menu selections.  Other than being expensive and far from the city, I don't see any drawbacks that would hinder you from dining here.  I highly suggest it for dates and all types of intimate occasions.  And, they change their menu every season so more reason to go back again.
