Life in the city can feel fast-paced and exhausting. Crowded streets, bumper-to-bumper traffic and the constant fog of pollution can make you crave a quick escape.

It is not impossible to take a quick breather without straying too far from the metro — and we are not talking about the usual Tagaytay or Antipolo getaway.

Tucked within the surprising Villar City located south of the metro, we drove away from the popular hubs and found just the spot for you.

A peaceful hideaway awaits at Forresta Café, where you’ll find the perfect blend of hearty food, refreshing drinks and the kind of scenery that transports your senses.

Even the design of Forresta Café exudes coziness and elegance. Its wide window walls let natural light enter, framing the lush greenery outside. Warm wooden accents on the flooring and furniture blend seamlessly with the soft glow of ambient lights, while indoor plants add a refreshing touch that relaxes the eyes.
