Nestled at the urban part of Baguio, entering this sanctuary is like being in an entirely different…read moreworld. 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.

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.

This is now our second time coming here. We were here a couple weeks ago and then today and…read moreessentially had the same experience. Both dining experiences were essentially the same so it does not appear to be an anomaly. A couple weeks ago when we came, we sat in the large outdoor area. We sat down at the table and we were seated at least 10 minutes and server after server walked past, carrying water pitchers, walking here and there and not one offered water. I finally stopped someone to ask for water. The next thing was waiting for someone to take our order. Again, we appeared to be invisible. There were 3-4 servers just standing 15 feet away from us at what looked to be a gathering spot for the servers. They were looking around but really doing nothing. I asked my wife if she could see me, as apparently no one else could. I finally raised my hand to get someone's attention and a young lady walked over and I asked her if there was a server for our table and she said yes, it was her! She took our order and after a period of time the food came. She sat the food down and walked away and returned to her "post" and was again looking around. I raised my hand again and she came over and I asked if we get forks and spoons with our food. She went back to her post and returned back with silverware. The rest of the meal I watched and it was clear some if the servers had no idea how to service a table. No other refill of water. It was just a very odd experience. And this evening we decided to sit inside where there was a band performing. Tables were full and eventually a table opened up. It was a larger table and we were only two and the gentleman said he would seat us there but if a larger group came or another table opened up he would move us, which was fine. He partially cleaned the table and then left. Another 5-10 minutes went by and he came back by and asked if we ordered and we said no one had come to take the order. There are not so many tables in that room and there were, I believe 4 servers+. He took our order and cleaned off the rest of the table. I watched other diners trying to flag down a server to take there order, one table that had asked twice for someone to take their order. He was just shaking his head. Before iur food came we saw a table open up and we moved as it was closer to the band. There were dirty plates and glasses, and bottles on the table. Suddenly our food came and I told the guy bringing the food we had moved to just bring it to the new table. He sat it down and walked away. We tried to flag somebody down to clean the table and again seemed to be invisible. I asked the hostess to send someone and finally after about 5 minutes a young lady came to remove the items, not realizing part of the items on the table we were eating. The food in the restaurant is good, but honestly the service is horrendous. It is as if no one understands at all what the job is. As if someone put a uniform on them and didn't tell them anything about the job. We are staying in the hotel for two nights but we will not be dining here again. For the loftiness of this venue, I am truly shocked. And I am not alone...saw other diners having the same experience. I truly hope someone cares enough to look into this. If the hotel guests were not a captive audience, as a stand-alone restaurant, I don't think they would stay in business.
