It's one of the birthplaces of Pinakbet Pizza which is a MUST try! The Tamarind Chicken is amazing and has a unique flavor as well! Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The place has a nice ambience and the clientele is cultured. Occasionally, they'll have a live band on weekends. Looks like they were featured on ABS-CBN. https://news.abs-cbn.com/ancx/food-drink/restaurants/08/23/23/theres-more-to-ilocano-food-than-pinakbet-and-bagnet

My cousin told me about this place so we decided to check it out. Here was our experience on a…read moreThursday evening. AMBIANCE: Parking | All street parking it really depends on the time of the day, but on an evening, it wasn't bad at all. Seating | Seating for almost 30-40 people both inside and outside. You have a choice of casually lounging or grabbing a table to study. Feels | It's in the tip of an alley but not too much in the crowded city thus it's a pretty comfortable place to be around. The cafe itself is a pretty neat place. It does it's best to emulate a fancy hip coffee shop with it's art, music, and desserts. Great place to study, catch up with a friend, or simply read a book. FOOD: Chocolate Frappe (Recommend) I would look into their drinks rather than their desserts. This was sweet, milky and smooth. Usually drinks can be overly sweet or just filled with ice but this was a good one. Blueberry Cheesecake (I've had better) It does look like an appetizing cheesecake however I noticed they warmed it up. If you do request for it, I would suggest asking to get one from the fridge. CUSTOMER SERVICE: As a tourist they were pretty friendly. They were helpful and our food came in relatively quick. TL;DR OVERALL 3.5 stars. It may not be THE place to be but I appreciate it's efforts. The menu was creative yet unique, the vibes was chill, and the service was nice. It's a good place for Westerners to chill if they're feeling a little homesick. TIPS: * They got wi-fi here!

Royal Bibingka!! This is one of the food items that we wished to try on our trip to Vigan City in…read morethe Philippines. So when we arrived in Vigan, we immediately asked the locals where we should purchase this item. Everybody said to go to Tongson's so that is exactly what we did. The shop was easy to find as it is located in the heart of the city on Ilocos Sur Crisologo Street. Their sign says that they are "The Home of Original Royal Bibingka". I guess that this is the place that this delicious snack originated from. What is Royal Bibingka? Is it some dessert made for only Royalty? No, it is actually a kind of Filipino Rice Cake made of glutinous rice flour, eggs. and milk for the most part. It has a chewy and sticky texture. The version that Tongson's makes is good. Wifey and I finished our box of eight of them before the day even ended. Tongson's Royal Bibingka sells some other snacks. I was not interested in anything else though. Biggest decision was deciding how many Royal Bibingkas to purchase. Service was quick. There were no seats or tables at Tongson's so we ate ours on the go. Royal Bibingka is something that should be eaten in Vigan City, and Tongson's is the place you should try it first. Bon Appetit!
