DON JUAN TAMAD RESTAURANT & SPORTS BAR

About Us

Juan Tamad has since become a "Don," hence, "Don Juan Tamad," as earlier told.

It begets the question, how? How did this ever "lazy-Juan" become a "Don?" Let's leave that best-answer for the last. Shall we?

Meantime, some facts next. 

"Don Juan Tamad" operates as DON JUAN (IHAW-IHAW) in Tagaytay City, since its 11-11-11 GRAND OPENING.

It quickly made few milestones in Tagaytay as the first, only and THE ORIGINAL restaurant of its kind; and one that made an "OVERNIGHT-HIT or SENSATION" as choicest-destination of local guests (Filipinos and foreign-expatriates or "expats" alike),  and of out-of-town visitors, again both Filipinos and foreign. It also caught-on as the "Gimik Central" in Tagaytay. 

In essence, Don Juan Tamad or Don Juan (Ihaw-Ihaw) is simply a "melting-pot" of everyone who wishes to have both wholesome-food and fun. Don Juan accomodates and serves all people of all races, beliefs and in all-walks of life, in VIP fashion.

The idea behind Don Juan Tamad or Don Juan (Ihaw-Ihaw) food and lifestyle concept is quite simple, yet beneficial and healthful.

We have known of "fast-foods or fast-living;" slow-foods or slow-living;" and now . . . through Don Juan Tamad or Don Juan (Ihaw-Ihaw) of course, a step-further one learns of "lazy-foods or lazy-living in a good or wholesome way."  Let me explain.

"LAZY-FOODS." When the "legend of laziness" (Filipino children's storybook character ) "Juan Tamad" lazily-sat underneath a fruit-tree and patiently awaited for the ripened-fruit to fall into his mouth, he was actually teaching us life's great lessons that most might have missed and continually miss specially today, when they matter most. First, this "Lazy-Hero" is actually teaching us to live in harmony with "Mother-Nature." Take or receive from what "Mother-Nature" has to give. Second, the virtue of patience. Wait when "Mother-Nature" is good and ready to give it. And finally, to bear such intelligence to know the difference.

So we take or receive such "back-to-basics or roots" foods that we now come to know as Don Juan Tamad or Don Juan (Ihaw-Ihaw) exotic or native foods, "lazily or patiently" and naturally or organically grown in and harvested from their habitat, which surest "Mother-Nature" nurtures and approves.

"LAZY-LIVING OR LIFESTYLE." In borrowed words, "patience is a virtue." In today's hurried-world, where patience is scarce, we must afford ourselves to be lazily yet responsibly be patient, as "The Lazy-Legend" teaches us. Even the most industrious and successful ones, have to, for a good part, be responsibly lazy, so as to unwind, recharge or just simply relax. Worth noting, even Arnold Schwarzenegger, famous American actor, politician and advocate of healthy lifestyle and living as a professional body-builder, once told in his movie: "Relax, you'll live longer." Don Juan vehemently agrees.

Saving the best for last and to answer our paradoxical question, "How did this ever "lazy-Juan" become a "Don?" The answer lies in yet another question but to one's self: "Wouldn't you feel like a true-Don, when you afford yourself to be truly yet responsibly lazy, even for just one day?" Don Juan did, and you should.

After all, there is and must be a bit of "Don Juan Tamad" in all of us.
