Cafe @ the Ranch is located at MGM Ranch and Farm in Mahabang Ludlod, Taal. It is located near the Taal Public Market. The cafe is surrounded by greenery and looks much more like an old house — a Spanish-era type structure — rather than a restaurant, if not for the signage by the staircase.
The dining area is located on the second level; there’s a staircase leading to a small terrace and into the restaurant. It has big sliding windows, made of wood and capiz shells. The whole structure is made of wood; the interior and the pieces of furniture, mostly the same material. The walls are painted off-white, while the counter and the cabinet add pastel yellow accent to the interior.
The ceiling is decorated with lamps and hanging light bulbs. You may use one area, with faux grass wall and flowers, as a photo-op backdrop. It serves rice meals and desserts, but it is known for pizza and pasta with its Homemade Pizza (Big Boy’s Pizza) as the bestseller. It is a place for family and friends, most especially lovers. For catering and other services, you may contact (0906) 504 7308.
Operation Hour: 10 AM – 7 PM
