The Summer Capital of the Philippines do not only offer amazing view and cool temperature among its visitors, it also offers array of everything "Naimas". It doesn't matter if you are vegetarian or if you wanna try to eat in a retro inspired resto name Baguio will serv it fresh in a platter. Here's some resto that we've tried during our stay in Baguio, "Mangan tayon!" (Image above: 50's Diner, Shakes.):
1. Solibao has been consistent since 1972 in serving authentic and fine Filipino food. There are five branches scattered throughout the city, we hit the road to Burnham Park to dine after a long and tiring ride. Here's a primer on why you will skip your diet thing while here in Baguio. :)
Sinigang with Ilocos Bagnet
Solibao's Special Pinakbet
2. 50"s Diner. This is how i describe the restaurant: Inexpensive, BIG SERVINGS, comforting and simple. Located At the corner of Upper General Luna and Brent Roads in Baguio this all American 50's inspired diner with a little pinoy touch will not only delight kids with their shakes but Jukebox, 50's movie posters and others memorabilia's of that time will sure bring smile to the face of young at hearts that will visit and dine here.
"Blast from the past? No, its the interior of 50's Diner."
"Spot the Pinoy touch in this dish?" -----> "Rice!"
Humongous club house its literally "BIG" burrrp! :)
3. Pizza Volante. We had our dinner here, its fun 'coz we did a mash up and a dance number for Pizza Volante in the tune of "Volare by Kings Gipsy" :) Anyways, the restaurant offers pizza, pastas and salads. The food they serve lives up to it's menu discription and the price is very affordable. Pizza Volante is located along Session Road, Baguio City, fronting the side street of leading to Baguio cathedral. "Bon appetit!"
"What i like here is that all ingridients are fresh"
My favorite, Fresh Lettuce top with pomelo, chicken, peanuts and Vinegar dressing.
4. Kubong Sawali. The restaurant serves dishes that are healthy and nutritious that satisfies both local and foreign alike. The restaurant offers authentic and exotic Filipino fused with Ilokano dishes that are rarely done in most of the restaurants in Baguio City.
A platter of Everything: from hito, bangus, shrimps, inahaw na talong and inihaw na liempo.
"Kinilaw na Tuna".
5. Sizzling Plate Baguio. It's a no-brainer, one can really see how Americans influence the city of Pines especially with the food they serve. It was our last meal before heading back to Manila. Yes steaks here are very affordable and they sizzles!
Steak! Steak! Steak! :)
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! :)
Yes! This is the ULTIMATE LECHE FLAN EVER!!! Chocolate Leche Flan by Sizzling Plate.
When you are in Baguio you should not only eat with your mouth but:
with your eyes - you can see how fresh the ingredients are, how consistent they are in their themes.
with your nose - smell the aroma, smell the freshly baked goods.
with your ears - listen to every sizzles and burp of the satisfied tummy.
