It has been a year since we have shared to you our first ever experience in our stay at Sonya’s Secret Garden. After traveling around the city of Tagaytay visiting ParadiZoo, Jeff and I felt that we need to catch up and balance (at least a little) our diet after consuming a full plate of the yummy baby back ribs at Hawaiian Barbecue. Our last stop is to treat ourselves with garden fresh salad.
The lunch and dinner set meals starts off with a healthy serving of vegetable salad, organically grown inside the garden. Coupled with their dressing, we’ve never been so satisfied with vegetable salad, it’s just so different, we have to stop ourselves from finishing the serving as we know there are more to come.

The salad is followed by a freshly baked loaf of bread, served with several dips.

The main course is pasta is served with either tomato-based or white cream sauce.

For desert, a slice of chocolate cake and turon.
If you are a frequent guest at Sonya’s you would notice the newly constructed dining pavilion right beside the entrance of Sonya’s Country Store and Panaderia before going to B&B (Bed and Breakfast) section. This is where a lot of bonnie sunflowers used to dwell.
Sonya’s Country Bed and Breakfast (B&B) overnight stay with romantic dinner or lunch and breakfast is Php 3,000 (inclusive of VAT & servioce charge) per person on weekdays, Php 3,400 (inclusive of VAT & service charge) per person on weekends and holidays. Check in at 2:00pm, check out by 12 noon the next day. They offer package rates for bigger groups.

Sonya’s secret garden is indeed a nice a relaxing place. Not to mention the super dog lover owner her self tita Sonya. And for some who cannot afford to stay overnight at Sonia’s secret garden guess what you can all just drop by and look at the place at take photos without any fee. You can enjoy taking pictures with tita sonyas lovely dogs, huge dogs i must say but very sweet and friendly special ms. muffin the big fat black lab with a colorful ribbon scarf. and you’ll be facinated with all kinds of flowers all over the place not to mention those lovely couch and parasols beautifully arranged with pillows and romantic curtain that will give u a very relaxing feeling. but i might warn you that once u smell the fragrance of their coffee and the freshly baked bread in the panaderia u cannot help yourself but take a bite.

Sorry but, Sonya’s Garden doesn’t allow non-customers to just go there and take photos, it’s not a park. Actually we were once asked by Tita Sonya herself of course in a joking manner “You guys are customers here right?”.
Our first visit there, where it is still “secret” its really a great place, but due to its popularity now, they are having a hard time to control non-customers going there just to take photos.
Atleast, their bed and breakfast is still not open to the public, so if you really want to experience the “Art of doing nothing” stay there for a night.
