My morning walk at Session Road led me to discover Ili-likha right in the middle of Assumption Road. I was actually looking for a breakfast place and lucky enough, they open at 7:00 in the morning. The facade will instantly generate interest. It appears to be an unconventional multi-level treehouse. Art pieces are placed together in harmony. To simply put it: "Ili" means village and "Likha" means to create. Everything draws inspiration from everywhere: mosaic windows, recycled bottles on walls, carved woods, and painted floors. Even the seats and tables are installed like a contemporary art. The village is also a habitat for healthy eating. It houses different food stalls that serves unique dishes. I ordered Bannoffee Shake and Waffle at Cafe Cueva. The catch is: I only paid Php 100! I also tried the homegrown dish, Balbacua at Urban Camote. It's a soup based meal for only Php60. It's worth adding to your next Baguio itinerary.

As we rambled down the streets of Baguio, one of the places that was highly recommended was Café by…read morethe Ruins. The eclectic menu was highly satisfying and we gorged on so many dishes. It is an iconic café, restaurant and bakery in Baguio that's long been beloved by both locals and visitors. The ambience has a rustic, artsy vibe and has played an important role in the city's cultural and culinary scene. It's called Café by the Ruins quite literally because it was built beside, and partly within, the ruins of a war-damaged building in downtown Baguio. After World War II, much of Baguio was destroyed during the battle to retake the city. This is why the café became a natural home for artists, writers, activists and thinkers, the space itself tells a story of survival and reinvention.

I thought that I wrote a review for this place years ago. I have been going here for about 30…read moreyears. It is an amazing restaurant with a historical location. All this time I thought the restaurant was located on Chuntug. During my younger days, Baguio was known for the clubs and casinos at a couple of the hotels. Things changed after a major earthquake, and I guess the name of the street for the Cafe By The Ruins also changed to Shuntug. I love all the architectural changes that the restaurant has made after the horrible fire they had. Of course the restaurant would have a wonderful ambiance, since the co-founders were artists and creative minded individuals. This is a location where memories are created with an unforgettable dining experience. They proudly served farm-to-table food before the social movement of using local ingredients in food preparation. In fact, the menu changes due to the seasonal fruits and vegetables. I encourage you to ask your server for their recommendations. They will know what's currently popular, and it is a great way to discover new items you might not have considered otherwise. I say that only because I would not have tried the duck pinikpikan, since I remembered how chicken pinikpikan was made. I'm glad we ordered it, because it was the perfect match with the rice that was served with it. The black ink pasta with fish rose cream sauce and crispy tapa are dishes that I'll be ordering again. I also asked what the server recommended for a dessert, and I'm hoping that they'll always have the strawberry pavlova on their menu. I also enjoyed Christine's Crepe. The Ice Ruins Coffee was a wonderful beverage with my desserts. This is a restaurant that I always go to whenever I go to Baguio.

Fam got famished after putting in what felt like thousands of steps at the Igorot Stone Kingdom. We…read moreasked our tour guide/driver what place he would recommend to eat and he immediately said we should check this place out. Who are we to question a local, right? We were lucky enough to score the last open parking spot. They were busy for a Monday lunch rush. The place isn't that big, could seat maybe around 20-30 people if at that. There was a wait since they were packed which gave us the opportunity to look at the menu. We also availed putting in our orders while waiting so they'd be good to go by the time we're seated. (They timed it perfectly, too!) Rice all around. KINUDAY JEN BABOY: Really REALLY good! The smoked aroma came off only slightly, but ever so present. Meat was tender and seasoned well. Does not need anything else. Recommending! PINIKPIKAN: We ordered this out of curiosity. Although the primary protein is supposed to be chicken, there was a bit of gamey taste to it which I attributed to the broth. It wasn't at all overwhelming and there was depth to the broth. Wasn't bad at all. SMOKED LONGANISA: Big bro and I weren't fans. The smoked aroma was way too overwhelming and were tough bites. It might be for some, just not for us. KINUDAY LUMPIA: Not the usual lumpia (be it regular or vegetable) I'm used to. The smoke aroma comes at you immediately at first bite. Pretty tasty, too. PAK-PAKO SALAD: An absolute must-have! The vege was so fresh I almost made a meal out of it! A great starter and palate cleanser! This I would highly recommend. FOOD: 4. SERVICE: 4. VALUE: 4. PARKING: Private lot, but only a few spots. Plan accordingly. OVERALL: 4. They offer unique dishes not seen at local places. They steered away from the normal and common Filipino cuisine, a new and different experience, if you will. It's a place to try when venturing out of the norm. Definitely worth a try!

This restaurant is famous for serving authentic Cordilleran dishes. It's been featured in different…read moremagazines and TV shows in the Philippines. They've managed to elevate common Cordilleran dishes without compromising its authenticity. The menu is written in Ibaloi but the description is in English. We came here for breakfast. We had the Pak-pako (River-fern salad), the kinuday jen manok , kinuday wrap chicken set and blueberry and ube cheesecake for dessert. The pakpako salad or fern salad is probably the best salad we've tasted in Baguio. The dressing is vinaigrette based I think and it is very refreshing. I was honestly surprised at how good the salad was. It can compete with the Japanese salads I so love here in Vancouver. The stir-fried chicken was very tasty, seasoned just right with a hint of smoky flavour which I loved. It comes with rice and beef soup. The beef soup is very rich reminding me of my grandma's beef soup. The chicken wrap was so good, I enjoyed making flavourful wrap with the fresh salad, chipotle sauce and stir-fry chicken. Then the desserts- ube cake was delicious but the blueberry was another surprise for us. I didn't expect to find this heavenly blueberry cheesecake in this Cordilleran resto. The blueberry is obviously not fresh since we don't grow blueberries in the Philippines but it surprisingly tasted really good. The cheesecake is a mix between the western and Japanese cheesecake in terms of texture. It was just right, not too fluffy, not too dense either. It was very cheesy with just the right amount of sweetness. We liked it so much we ordered a whole cake. Unfortunately I only tried these dishes but if you guys ever end up in Baguio, check out this resto representing my roots.

We came as a large group and were seated relatively quick and the service was really lovely. The menu had a lot of options between Filipino and other cultures and some fusion.

You could taste the anchovies in the dressing, it was just very refreshing and super fresh! The interior of the restaurant is beautiful. I love the decor and that the building had a vintage charm about it, but felt clean as well. I would definitely come back for a special occasion if I was in the area, especially a date.
