Weekend Food Trip Guide to Cavite for Meat Lovers

Editor's Note: Some data below may or may not be accurate due to the ongoing pandemic. Before you travel, it is best to check updates of the province or city guidelines to get the latest information.

Observe minimum public health protocols including the use of face masks, face shields, and bring your own hand sanitizer.

Some people from the metro visit nearby provinces mainly because of exquisite foods and drinks. The province of Cavite is a one-to-two-hour drive away from Manila, which is also home to exclusive restaurants and local specialties.

From steaks to samgyupsal, our team hunted some of the best meat restaurants in Cavite that are worth visiting for a weekend food trip.



The Black Apartment Bacoor

To begin your hearty food trip of meat restaurants in Cavite, visit The Black Apartment that offers big gourmet burgers made from 100% pure premium beef patties. The restaurant’s gothic-themed interiors combined with string lights and solid wood furniture make it a pleasant place to enjoy meals.

Their American-inspired beefy burgers are always fresh off the grill and cost around P137 to P295 only. Of course, there are chicken wings, crispy fries, and chilled beverages on the menu, as well.

They are open for dine-in and takeout orders from 10 AM to 7:30 PM. You may also visit their Imus branch, which is open daily except on Mondays.

This meat restaurant in Cavite serves dishes like T-bone steak with mushroom gravy, Brazilian ribeye steak, Hungarian sausage, and salads. They locally source beef (100% grass-fed) from Mahogany Market Tagaytay to ensure fresh, safe, and clean meat.

Obviously, a weekend food trip for meat lovers wouldn’t be complete without the all-time favorite Korean barbeque – samgyupsal. Another option to satisfy your samgyupsal cravings is to drop by the recently-opened Korean barbecue restaurant in General Trias. They offer unlimited samgyupsal for as low as P249.

Aside from the food, the whole family can indulge in the laid-back vibe of the province with open-air, outdoor dining.

Kenny Rogers Roasters Marks 30th Anniversary with Self-Love Campaign
Kenny Rogers Roasters Photo by Kenny Rogers Roasters

Popular fast-casual chain Kenny Rogers Roasters celebrates three decades of flavorful legacy with a new campaign that reminds Filipinos that mindful eating can also be a powerful act of self-love.

Known for its signature roasted chicken, hearty sides, and exciting food innovations, Kenny Rogers Roasters has redefined how Filipinos enjoy wholesome meals, proving that true greatness only gets better with time. 

Moreover, the brand is renowned for its “deliciously healthy” meals, having provided well-rounded menus that balance indulgence and nutrition, such as the fall-of-the-bone ribs and Healthy Plates and Salad. These offerings often come with calorie counts, giving customers more transparency and encouraging them to make mindful food choices.

Complimenting their delicious mains are tasty sides that have become fan favorites among locals, such as the corn muffin, mac and cheese, and steamed vegetables. These thoughtfully crafted combinations reflect the brand’s enduring commitment to making deliciously healthy food both satisfying and accessible to all.

To celebrate the incredible milestone, the brand launched its “I Love Me Better” campaign, which is its most personal and empowering yet, as it recognizes that choosing what to eat every day takes intention and courage.

“Sometimes, better choices start with something as simple as choosing better meals for yourself,” said Marketing Director Lorent Martin Adrias. “When we choose healthier, better meals, we’re not just fueling our bodies but embracing self-love. Choosing Kenny Rogers Roasters is more than a meal decision — it’s a commitment to loving yourself better.”

This campaign promotes self-love through mindful eating and perfectly embodies the staple dishes and menu innovations the brand has offered through the years. It has since taken over high-traffic and unexpected spaces, from a full train wrap on LRT-1 to bike boards and inspiring billboards along EDSA, with each placement carrying messages of self-love and empowerment, and turning commutes into reminders that even the smallest decisions, like opting for healthier meals, can be powerful acts of self-care. The campaign also introduced a new, feel-good jingle now streaming on Spotify.

For over 30 years, Kenny Rogers Roasters has led with purpose and has redefined what deliciously healthy means, all the while pushing for impact and innovation. “The legacy of Kenny Rogers Roasters is unmatched,” Lorent added. “And the future is set to raise the bar even higher.”

IHG Hotels & Resorts PH Plans to Make 30% of All Menu Offerings Plant-Based

Sustainable dining is the way forward as IHG Hotels & Resorts (Intercontinental Hotels Group) properties in the Philippines pledge to make 30% of all menu offerings plant-based by 2027

IHG hotels across the country namely Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria, Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria, Holiday Inn Cebu City, Holiday Inn & Suites Batangas Lima Park, and Holiday Inn & Suites Makati pledged to this policy, which represents one of the most comprehensive plant-based dining initiative undertaken by a major international hotel group in the Philippines. The initiative spans multiple dining venues at the properties, including restaurants, room service menus, and banquet offerings. 

“Our commitment to increasing plant-based options to 30% across our menus at Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria by 2025 reflects our dedication to sustainable hospitality and responsible dining," said Patria Puyat, Cluster General Manager at Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria and Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria. “This initiative aligns with our global 'Journey to Tomorrow' sustainability program and reflects our determination to reduce our environmental footprint while meeting the evolving preferences of today's conscious travelers.”

"We've always believed that great hospitality is about making people feel cared for, not just through comfort, but through the choices we offer,” added Andy Belmonte, General Manager of Holiday Inn & Suites Makati. “Expanding our menus to include 30% plant-based dishes by the end of 2027 is one way to support our guests' well-being while caring for the planet. It's a meaningful step for us as part of the Makati community, where modern living and conscious choices go hand in hand."

Research shows that plant-based proteins generate up to 90% lower greenhouse gas emissions and require up to 90% less land and water use than animal proteins. Additionally, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) found that plant-based foods also generate approximately 50% less food waste than meat and dairy products. This undertaking from IHG showcases meaningful progress toward conscious dining and provides a more thoughtful and forward-looking guest experience.

“This commitment demonstrates how the industry can evolve with purpose, integrating care for people and the planet with the quality and comfort guests expect,” said Marielle Lagulay, Sustainability Program Manager at Lever Foundation — a global NGO that assists leading companies to upgrade their food sourcing to a more sustainable supply chain.

“We hope IHG Philippines’ great initiative inspires other hospitality groups to pursue similar commitments, understanding that thoughtful changes in food service can generate substantial positive impact.”
