Overlooking Restaurant in Tanay, Rizal: Ricardo's Vista Del Cielo

If it's not for the food, it's the view that makes people visit a restaurant.

Just two hours away from Manila lies a not-so-hidden restaurant located atop a hill in Tanay, Rizal. Ricardo's Vista del Cielo offers an all-day breakfast menu and other Filipino dishes good for sharing that will feed the hungry traveler in you. More than the food, this restaurant offers a stunning view of the mountains in Sierra Madre Mountain Range and a sea of clouds. 

We went there past 5 in the afternoon and ordered a plate of buttered shrimp and a bowl of bulalo perfect for the windy weather that could almost make your bones chill. Honestly speaking, I wasn't into their food. The buttered shrimp was a bit bland and the bulalo was just okay. Though I'm still intrigued by their all-day breakfast offering like silog meals, so I might come back there soon to give their food a try again.

But what I loved most about Ricardo's Vista del Cielo is their location. You see, nowadays that we can't travel long-distance, we crave a new sight that will take our stress away, and this restaurant did just that. The views are astounding, letting you see a bit of the Sierra Mountain Range, a sea of clouds, and a rainbow if you're lucky. Just a piece of advice though, don't wear short shorts or sleeveless tops if you're not a fan of cold weather because it's windy and the wind blows cold air that best matches a cup of coffee while admiring nature's beauty. If you're too cold, you can stay in their cabin-like dining area on the ground floor.
