Haha). We got: chicken skin, palabok, sisig, kare kare, and dinuguan. Everything was delicious. The dinuguan came out way later because of some issue in the kitchen, but I wish that they had told us and asked us if we still wanted it. Both desserts that we got were also pretty good. Service was also great. My only other issue was that they tried to turn us away saying that they were full, but soon after we got seated, three large parties left and they didn't even clear the tables for a long time. I won't hold this against them, since they did eventually seat us... it was just a bit strange. Would highly recommend this place for a yummy dinner!

The steak meat was cooked according to your preference, they individually asked us first! We tried the unlimited steak & ribs with sides and we could only handle one serving due to the large portions! The sides came in different varieties. The mashed potatoes were delicious, consistency and flavor was excellent! The other sides were excellent as well and I really enjoyed the baked mac/lasaña. They were so generous to give us free pitchers of iced tea! Wow! Our guests were so impressed also of the experience. They said it might turn into a good habit! Thank you, Fat Belly Project, you were successful in increasing our waistline in just a little less than two hours! Hahaha Suggestion: Can you include a salad option in your sides? Salamuch po!

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.

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.

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.

The restaurant is huge, great for groups and more native style than modern. Place is clean. I saw a ratatouille mouse again going outside from inside but it's an outdoor restaurant so what do you expect?! Should I be worried? We were the first to eat there for lunch as we got there once it opened. We were well attended. This is what we ordered: Complimentary- Lomi soup that is like a hot and sour soup without the sour or hot! Just looks like it. It lacked a little salt. Pakbet - pretty good Kare kare - lacked peanut butter so it was less salty. Lechon kawali - very good Liang - it lacked taro leaves and had more huge slices of ginger instead. I actually thought the ginger was meat cuz it was huge pieces! Fresh Coconut - lots of juice inside and they opened it to eat the coconut meat Four season in a pitcher Manga juice in a can There was nothing special about this place or food. Decent prices.I am always in search of an authentic Filipino restaurant but this was not my fave; good enough; 2.5 stars. [113/100]
