Welcome to Sentro Botanikos, a hidden gem nestled in the lush landscapes of Alfonso, Cavite, just a stone's throw from the well-trodden tourist paths of Tagaytay. This charming vegetarian café and deli is not merely a dining locale; it is an enchanting retreat for both seasoned vegans and curious omnivores seeking to expand their culinary horizons.

Step inside, and the warm ambiance embraces you like a soft hug. The calm and homey atmosphere, coupled with stunning farm views and refreshing air, creates a blissful backdrop for your dining experience. With every corner meticulously arranged for comfort, it’s a place where you can unwind, reconnect, and indulge in delightful dishes that celebrate plant-based cuisine.

Sentro Botanikos is acclaimed for crafting dishes that break the stereotype surrounding vegetarian food. Guests rave about the deliciously comforting vegetarian Bulalo and callos, dishes that echo the flavors cherished by traditional Filipino cuisine, reimagined for a health-conscious audience. As one satisfied diner, Ard Moretti, remarked, “Drop your misconceptions about vegan food at the door, 'cause you'll forget all about them once you try their offerings.” The café also features a range of delectable items that cater to both vegetarian and vegan diets, ensuring everyone leaves satisfied.

Gerwin N highlights Sentro Botanikos as a "must" for travelers. He notes it as an excellent alternative to the esteemed (and somewhat pricier) Sonya's Garden buffet, just a kilometer away. For diners seeking variety and a chance to savor the essence of organic fare, this café is an opportunity to delight in fresh and flavorful ingredients that are locally sourced. The reviews speak for themselves; Monika Aliguas shares that the cozy ambiance helps you forget you’re even eating vegetarian, while ardith dominguez-tan appreciates the cafe’s unassuming charm and its ability to accommodate guests even on busy evenings.

The inviting nature of the staff elevates the overall experience, making it not just a meal, but a memory that lingers long after the last bite. Carlos Garces summarizes it beautifully: “Excellent food in a quaint setting.”

Sentro Botanikos is about more than just food; it’s about fostering connections—between yourself and the earth, your senses and tastes, and even with those dining beside you. If you are wandering through the enchanting landscapes of Tagaytay and seek a dining experience that nourishes both body and spirit, make sure to visit Sentro Botanikos. With every dish crafted with care, you're in for a wholesome treat!

A must if you are traveling in Tagaytay and seeking a different experience from the usual bulalo cravings and eat-all-you-cans. Also an alternative to the healthy but bit pricey Sonya's Garden buffet (Note: Sentro Botanikos is located in the same area and less than a kilometer away). Homey atmosphere, farm views, fresh air, and organic food that's both vegetarian and vegan friendly Staff and owners are also friendly and accommodating. I've tried their sisig, lechon and chicken bbq (all veganized and tastes great) They also have freshly picked vegetables, condiments and spices for sale at friendly prices. Taste it to believe it! Keep feeding the people and planet good food and good vibes

They serve only Plant-Based food. The ambiance is very cozy and food is delectable (you wont notice that you are eating vegetarian even if you are not vegan)

Went on a Friday date with my husband one of the few hard to come by vegetarian restos in the Silang-Tagaytay area. A little challenging to find Sentro Botanikos at it is off the beaten path but we found it using Waze. We arrived past 6:30 pm and was directed to a non-descript, very unassuming structure that was well lighted. We were graciously accomodated even without a reservation. The food was fairly priced and despite the very simple and basic eclectic furniture, the food was served on surprisingly sophisticated plates and platters. We ordered their Crispy Shrooms, Paksiw na M'chon, Veggie Adobo, Kare-Kare. We did not have to wait too long for our food and they were all surprisingly tasty and pleasing to the palate. Would I recommend this resto? Definitely! Not a lot of vegetarian restos taste this good. Would I bother to make another trip to Buck Estate, Alfonso? You bet!!!

Excellent food in a quaint setting. The best vegetarian Bulalo and callos. Too bad they don’t have the eggplant bacon anymore. Reasonable prices.

Instead of going to the buffet at Sonya's Garden, your time and money will be better spent here at Sentro Botanikos, a vegetarian (menu is veganizable) restaurant. Drop your misconceptions about vegan food at the door 'cause you'll forget all about them once you try their offerings. What they lack in their unassuming exterior, they more than make up for with their delicious menu and cozy, quiet interior with eclectic accents. We liked all of the items we ordered: Bulalo, Adobo ni Lola, Mushroom Sisig, Crispy Kangkong, Paksiw M'chon, Sinigang, Kapinpin (pipino+pineapple shake), and Halo-halo, with the adobo, sinigang, and paksiw being the runaway hits. We're sure the rest of their menu is just as good, if not better, than what we've tried thus far. Price-wise, they're also relatively affordable. You can't go wrong with Sentro Botanikos if you're looking for a more compassionate [but still delicious] way to fill your tummy and satisfy cravings.

I really love the place, only that there were some orders they don't have because they ran out of supplies due to an event yesterday. But everything we ate was wonderful, and the service was kind and friendly.

I love the food! Highly recommend the pineapple cucumber shake. There's a b&b where you can stay overnight at an affordable rate. Please call in advance because they have events there.
