Get Closer to Nature At This Newly Opened Restaurant in Nueva Ecija

After being quarantined for so long, it's normal to feel cabin fever and get itchy feet (to travel). Since the pandemic began, there have been numerous restaurants and cafes opening in and around Metro Manila that offers an al fresco dining set up, paired with a relaxing view.

If you're looking for a place to relax for the weekend that's not as crowded as the likes of Tagaytay, Rizal, La Union, or Baguio, you can go on a three-hour ride (from Metro Manila) to Nueva Ecija and check out Sirmata Ecofarm and Nature Park.

Sirmata Ecofarm and Nature Park has a restaurant called Kàyo. The establishment itself looks like a glasshouse in the middle of a forest. The restaurant has a combination of floor-to-ceiling glass windows and dark wood, the bigger al fresco dining area just beside it shaded by trees, overlooking a lake.
