If you’re in for some relaxation, best to spend a day here at Nurture Wellness Village. We dined at its restaurant called Gabriela which offers healthy Filipino cuisine with options of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. They have amazing food and the ambiance is indeed relaxing. Gabriela sources their ingredients locally and straight from their farm where there’s also a herbal tea garden. What we tried: Caldereta Osso Buco St. Sisig Seared Salmon Vegie Meat Embutido Nurture Salad Vegie Meat Bistek Chicken Kare-Kare Roulade Vegie Meat Kare-Kare Golden Spring Roll Tilapia sa Laing Suman at Mangga There are Bilao meals perfect for groups, too. I love the variety and I thought it was well-curated. Each has organic rice, Batangas atchara, salted egg with tomatoes, assorted fresh fruit slices, and a pitcher of herbed iced tea.

Girasol means “sunflower” and just like the warm sunshine, they promise to provide dishes that are crafted with the finest ingredients that elicit a sense of adventure but also reminiscent of home. This place is perfect for families or with big groups. They have spacious event space as well for any occasion. The second floor has an amazing view, too. For the Pizza, we had Margherita, Mushroom Pepperoni, and Quattro Formaggi. The pizza somewhat had that ‘biscuit dough’ which was thin and crispy. I am not a fan of this kind of dough but they made it quite good. Generous toppings on each flavorful pizza. You may also try: Tomato Bolognese Seafood Verdure Pancetta and Mushroom Chicken and Blue Cheese Risotto Prawn Risotto Eggs Benedict Crispy Fried Chicken Pinaso For one memorable dining experience, head on to Girasol and enjoy the food they offer. I promise you’ll love it as much as I did.
