Being at the center of the city, Vizco\u2019s has been a signature Baguio restaurant to visit. It\u2019s a caf\u00e9 famous for its cakes <\/strong>which are freshly made and affordable. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people trying to find a restaurant that will get you your money\u2019s worth. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> guests who want a spacious place to eat at. We recommend<\/strong> their wildly popular\u00a0Strawberry Short Cake, topped with fresh strawberries. Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0It opened a sister restaurant in Camp John Hay\u2019s Technohub called Photo Fog Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mario\u2019s Restaurant is a Spanish bistro and an American steakhouse <\/strong>opened by husband and wife Mario and Nenuca Benitez in 1971. Nenuca, a self made cook, introduces heirloom recipes, while Mario\u2019s name has become synonymous with good, quality steaks and the restaurant\u2019s signature Caesar Salad. It\u2019s for<\/strong> Baguio locals and vacationers looking for comforting home-cooked style dishes that won\u2019t disappoint. It\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/strong>people who want budget meals. We recommend<\/strong> the classic Caesar Salad, paellas and the a la pobre steak. Here\u2019s a fun fact<\/strong>: Due\u00a0to insistent demand, the couple opened a 2nd branch in Tomas Morato in 1974, which is also still operating until today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Good Taste is a 24\/7\u00a0Chinese fast food<\/strong> chain serving affordable\u00a0family-style\u00a0lauriat dishes,\u00a0rice toppings, pansit, mami,\u00a0siopao and more.\u00a0The food court style setup allows it to accommodate large groups of people. Word is, the place is\u00a0quite full throughout the day especially during lunch and dinner. It\u2019s for<\/strong> students and office goers during breaks and for late night eats. It\u2019s not<\/strong> the best place to treat\u00a0balikbayans or tourist visitors, unless they\u2019re looking for something local. We recommend<\/strong> their famous buttered chicken, lechon kawali and broccoli. Our insider tip<\/strong> is to watch as orders get sent down\u00a0in\u00a0a small old school\u00a0food conveyor box, from 2nd to 1st floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Happy Tummy is one of the homegrown Baguio concepts of\u00a0Ketchup: The Food Community,\u00a0a popular community food park that features casual Asian to Western dining. Happy Tummy\u00a0serves affordable\u00a0Thai and Filipino<\/strong> dishes.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0friends and families looking for Asian comfort food with big servings. It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0fancy dinner dates with your significant other. We recommend\u00a0<\/strong>their popular Crispy Tilapia in Tamarind Sauce, Sticky Rice with Mangoes, and Thai Milk Tea.\u00a0Our insider tip:<\/strong> Go large for the Crispy Tilapia because there’s only a P50 difference\u00a0from the medium serving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Arca’s Yard is a bed and breakfast, a cozy library cafe that serves unique and healthy dishes, and\u00a0a\u00a0mini-museum that showcases the Igorot culture and personal antique collection of owner\u00a0Ninja Sabado and her family. It’s an<\/strong> escape pad from the hustle and bustle of the city life. It’s not for<\/strong>\u00a0people looking for\u00a0a late night drinking place. We recommend<\/strong> their signature Camote Pie and coffee, and also their rhubarb ice cream, if they’re in season. Our insider tip<\/strong> is beside Arca\u2019s is a Japanese\u00a0art studio gallery where artist Asao Shimura holds workshops for kids and adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Choco-late de Batirol is a\u00a0Filipino\u00a0garden cafe<\/strong> that’s\u00a0said to be the home of the best hot chocolate in the Philippines.\u00a0It’s for<\/strong>\u00a0ambient breakfasts or a chilly afternoon merienda<\/em> date. It’s not for<\/strong> late nights and drinking sessions. We recommend<\/strong> the Suman, Turon, and Red Egg and Tomato Salad. If you’re feeling adventurous, try their customer-recommended\u00a0orange flavored tsokolate<\/em> as well.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong> is to visit on weekends for live acoustic music.\u00a0Fun Fact:<\/strong> Batirol is a traditional wooden rod used to make the tsokolate thick, hence the name Choco-late de Batirol.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Each one\u00a0offers\u00a0a different cuisine\u00a0ranging from\u00a0Asian to Western, and of them is Canto Bogchi Joint. Canto is an American<\/strong> eatery\u00a0serving steaks, ribs, tacos, and fries.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who love big saucy ribs. It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0big groups who don\u2019t like to queue on a restaurant\u2019s good day. We recommend\u00a0<\/strong>the famous Lomo Ribs.\u00a0Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0You can order from any restaurant in the establishment and have it served wherever you choose to be seated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Amare La Cucina is an Italian restaurant<\/strong> famous for its traditional slow-cooked pizza and baby back ribs. Though it\u2019s not in the heart of the city, a lot of people still visit the restaurant for its\u00a0uniqueness and their traditional way of cooking.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong> Italian cuisine lovers who want to try novelty\u00a0pizzas in Baguio. It\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/strong>people who want multiple cups of rice to supplement their meal. We recommend\u00a0<\/strong>the White Pizza, Wagyu\u00a0Pizza and the Foie Gras with Truffle Oil pizza. They have so many unique flavors.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong> is that they even have a nutella-based pizza to satisfy your sweet tooth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

50’s Diner is an American retro diner<\/strong>\u00a0filled with\u00a0<\/strong>pop culture\u00a0memorabilia such as\u00a0posters of American icons, neon lights, a jukebox and even a red buggy. The whole vibe is\u00a0reminisent of diners with\u00a0servers\u00a0on skates. Their menu includes steaks, pastas, fish and chips – as well as some Pinoy comfort food favorites. It\u2019s for\u00a0<\/strong>the young and the old\u00a0who appreciate the throwback. It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0people who want a quiet and relaxed space to chill in. We recommend<\/strong> the Guys on the Hood, Gangsta Gangsta and their milkshakes. Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Avoid over-ordering as servings of some dishes are already good for sharing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When talking about Baguio\u2019s must-try restaurants, Caf\u00e9 by the Ruins has always been part of the list – serving natural and local ingredients<\/strong> that embody\u00a0its way\u00a0of cooking that is distinctly Baguio<\/em>. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who want to taste authentic local\u00a0dishes that tell something about the region\u2019s culture. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> guests who have a deep stomach and\u00a0a bottomless appetite. We recommend <\/strong>the Pinikpikan, which is chicken soup used in rituals by natives, and the Baguio Bagnet with Padas bagoong, tomato relish, and lime. Our insider tip <\/strong>is to try getting their guava preserve jam as pasalubong<\/em>\u00a0from your long weekend adventures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
