RSM Lutong Bahay

At the heart of Tagaytay City some fifty miles off Manila lies a place

that prides itself in lutong bahay (home-cooked food). RSM Lutong

Bahay is a big restaurant with a big menu specializing in Filipino

home-cooked cuisine. It sits on an awesome location overlooking

Taal Volcano (situated in neighboring Batangas), thus presenting a

great opportunity to sample local cuisine while enjoying a breathtaking natural view of the volcano and the lake around it. I’ve actually been

to the place a few times already, but every single time I was there

was always with family and friends who knew the area well, so I didn’t feel the need to remember the name of the restaurant. What I
remembered well, though, were the spectacular views from the huts where we had our meals.

RSM Lutong Bahay is a Filipino restaurant serving local cuisine and

nothing else,but for that security guard at the nearby Cliffhouse,it

was a place for good bulalo basically a stew with beef shanks and

 bone marrow).I expected a small, cheap restaurant (based on metropolitan Manila standards for hole-in-the-wall bulaluhan joints),but

 RSM Lutong Bahay was simply not in that category.It was spacious

enough to hold wedding receptions,birthday celebrations, and other  

functions that need to house many guests,and the menu was an

 extensive list of Filipino dishes that just dares you to sample each

 option.

   Wooden furniture is the primary theme with lights (in the form of

   bulbs, lamps, and LED string lights) accentuating every nook, wall,

   baluster, and hut at night; pottery, wheels, stones, and a few

   religious figures here and there complete the interior that is

   traditionally Filipino. Of course, the overall restaurant design

   wouldn’t be complete without taking advantage of the scenic

   Taal Lake and volcano view: an alfresco area is situated at the

   back where the huts are placed and wheel couches offer a very

   laid-back dining experience.

  RSM Lutong Bahay Restaurant is located in the heart of Tagaytay

  City. It specializes in “Lutong Bahay” or Home Cooked Filipino

  Dishes. The restaurant has a very spacious and luscious garden

  at the back which offers a magnificent view of the Taal Lake and

  Taal Volcano. The romantic garden of RSM Restaurant is also a

  perfect place for weddings, baptismal, family reunion, and other

  special occasions. The restaurant offers several activities for their

  customers like a Videoke Bar every Mondays, Ballroom Dancing

  on Wednesdays, and an Acoustic Band on Fridays and Saturdays.

  There is also a local band that goes around tables to render you

  a song, customers may request their favorite songs and you might

  just be surprised because the band is familiar even with the new

  and modern songs and gives it a twist and sings it in their own

  style. Of course, the main attraction of RSM Lutong Bahay

  Restaurant is their sumptuous home-cooked Filipino dishes

  and such as sisig, bulalo, crispy pata and adobo among others.

  RSM Restaurant was given the Most Outstanding Home-Cooked

  Restaurant by the Philippine Quality Award for Business Excellence
