I can't believe it's taken this long for me to write a review about Dagupena…read more I remember coming to this place as a kid many times when we lived nearby, but it wasn't until about a year and half ago when I finally came to visit as an adult. Party of 12, my aunt just did all the ordering for us. Big Bro and I remember just loving EVERYTHING. Fast forward a few months later, it was a must have for lunch. This time, party of 8, we decided a repeat of a few things. The sizzling bangus was a must have as it is the one thing they're known for. I saw the lumpia bangus as their special, so I had to have that as well. Drunken shrimp was also a must, and orders of calamari, pinakbet, bagoong fried rice, grilled prawns and crispy pata followed. And just like the last time, everything was fantastic. The sizzling bangus, marinated in perfection, was delicious as always. The shrimp, geezus, I couldn't stop eating. It was like popcorn on crack, it was gone in a minute. The pinakbet with fresh veggies was amazing. I only ordered the bagoong fried rice out of curiosity, but nothing above par. Ditto the lumpia bangus, but it's definitely something I would order again. Crispy pata was seasoned crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Didn't get to try the prawns as that was GodNiece's grub, but I heard good things. Seriously, though, we all left with the happies. We all succumbed to food coma not too long after. FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 3. It was a challenge trying to catch our server's attention, but I have to mention it is NOT his fault. They were clearly understaffed and overwhelmed. I hope upper management does something about this. VALUE: 5. Worth it. PARKING: Private. It can get full, but security guard will help guide you to a spot. OVERALL: 5. They have a true following which is why they've been around for about a century. It doesn't matter what day or time you come through - they will get packed. Just hope a table is available for you and your party upon arrival. One of me and Big Bro's favorite restaurants. Highly HIGHLY recommending.

After reading the reviews before arriving to the Philippines, we made our trek to dine here once we…read morevisited Manaoag. For a first time visit, the dining experience wasn't to our expectations or we came at a bad time. When we arrived, there was no one to seat us in the main dining area, so we just stood there and waited. It was not busy, only one table with a few people was occupied. We saw employees in the back gathered together just talking. They looked at us, but kept talking for awhile until, finally, a guy helped us. He wasn't welcoming or offered any assistance. We had to ask questions. Right away, we got bad vibes here, and said the hype on this place is very misleading. Anyway, we ordered fried crispy bangus, steamed rice, chop suey and buko pandan. The bangus wasn't as crispy and the chop suey had too much cornstarch in it that made the sauce too thick - gross. Only positive is the nice parking attendant who guided us parking the car and holding an umbrella above my head from the heat and extreme sun. This place is a big NO for us. The place wasn't hard to find and the gardens are nice. They had a large snake, I think a boa or python in a cage for those who want to be amused.

Disappointing Experience - Would Not Recommend…read more This was by far one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The fried rice tasted like leftover food from a previous event--cold, clumpy, and unappetizing. The crispy crab was overly salty, the pinakbet was watery and lacked flavor, and to top it off, the buko juice was warm. Service was equally disappointing; we waited over an hour for our food, and the staff seemed indifferent. Overall, a complete letdown. I won't be coming back.

You have to climb a few flights of stairs and the last flight feels a bit rickety, but it's totally worth it for the ambience. Like a storybook land and art museum turned into a restaurant, OMG offers a wide open and green space, with views of the city. You won't find many vegetarian restaurants in the area (OMG is the only one I know of), so it's a welcome change of pace. The service is good and the food isn't bad, but I'm rating OMG five stars strictly on the ambience of the space. The food is more like three or four stars, but if you're looking for non-meat dishes, this is the place to go. Just be prepared to walk up a bunch of stairs. I tried a few dishes and they were all right; I was hoping to be surprised by the putanesca (which normally uses anchovies), but it was a pretty straightforward pasta. I also got the egg noodles and veggies and they were exactly as written. I'm assuming there's no patis used due to the vegetarian menu, which is a shame because that magical umami could've livened up the dishes I had. Still, I can't rate Oh My Gulay any lower than five stars due to its amazing interior. I'd recommend OMG for a merienda or light lunch so you and your crew can enjoy the spectacular atmosphere. Take your time and enjoy the place for what it is: a unique restaurant with good views and decent eats.

So sad not to give this beautiful place a five star! I have…read moregiven it 3 tries hoping for improvement but it seems to have gotten worse each time I have been. It's at the top floor of the La Azotea Building in the middle of Session Rd. The view and ambiance is worth all the flights of stairs (once you reach it). It's a vegetarian restaurant that serves very good food (if they are not out of it). Sit upstairs at your own risk! because you WILL BE FORGOTTEN! 1st time- 3 items on the menu was not available, we had to go downstairs to get the server to order desserts. 2nd time- 4 items on the menu was not available AND THEY WERE ALSO OUT OF THEIR HOT CHOCOLATE (Baterol) that they boast about. Again, had to go downstairs to get the server. 3rd time- ordered the only thing they seemed to have during our first 2 visits, the Caesar Salad. CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY WERE OUT? we proceeded to order what we didn't get to try (cause they were out of it) the last 2 times... they were out! The place was nice, the food was good ( what they had available), the price was decent. Unfortunately, the service was very slow and they are always out of at least 4 items on their menu.

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.
