Deli de San Honore, Tagaytay

St. Honoré (also known as Honoratus) of Amiens in Northern France, is the patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs. Deli de San Honore, a homey bakery and gourmet restaurant of Chef Jeremy and Kate Joson in Tagaytay, was named in honor of the patron saint.

The couple are former New Yorkers (Chef Jeremy worked as a baker in New Jersey) but decided to return to the Philippines to establish their own food business and dream bakery. It later evolved into a restaurant upon the request of their regular patrons, who wanted a decent meal with pasta or rice, aside from their usual staples – the special country and sourdough breads.

Though many rave about their pizza, it was their Herb de Provence porkchop that captured my heart and palate. Served with side salad, garlic rice, and sweet pickles, it was cooked to perfection.

I also like the ambience of the restaurant, especially their garden area. They grow their own herbs in their little nursery. Orchids and wild animals such as civet and Philippine eagle also co-exist in the place.

From Manila, take Nasugbu or Alfonso bound bus from Lawton, Buendia or South Terminal in Pasay. Get off in Brgy. Neogan (landmark is the Antonio’s Cabana signage on the highway). From the highway, ride a tricycle going to the Deli; or it’s a 5-10 minute walk.
