Baguio Restaurants

A friend and I wanted to have coffee in a quiet place in Baguio. So, I suggested we go COFFEEKLUTZ! Huge mistake!!! We went there on a Friday night at around 730pm. No one was there at the place yet, but the lady server was escorting to this place where we dont want to be seated. She's saying that they have to seat people appropriately because they usually have a crowd on Fridays.

It was 730, the band will start at 8 or something, NO ONE was in the area. and we were being forced to sit in a remote place. We asked to be moved but they would not allow us. They didnt even bother asking how long we were planning to stay (we had NO plans of staying long, just there for coffee supposedly).

Crappy customer service. Even the owner wasn't too accommodating either. It was really lousy and irritating!

Favorite Dish: With that kind of service, I don't see them lasting long. Sayang.

A not so blissful dinner at Bliss Cafe

I read good reviews about this veggie restaurant in lifestyle magazines and newspaper in Manila so made this resto part of our Baguio culinary adventure. The food was not worth the long wait. I wonder why our order took sooo long to serve when we were the only customers then. We ordered by plate meals and we had to follow up like 3-4x before they serve the first plate, and each order came to our table one at a time, like 20 minutes after the other. While others were eating already, some were still waiting. The Biancci and Miguel were crying because their veggie sisig was too spicy, I was looking for the server to ask for water but she was nowhere to be found, I even have to go to the kitchen to ask for water. I got so pissed to find out that the staff was all in the kitchen just playing around. The staff was not even pleasant nor apologetic for the long wait. When we asked for the bill, I questioned the server why the O.R. was under a different name, she couldn’t give me an answer. I asked her to replaced it (just to make her life a little difficult). When she came back to me, she said “ hindi daw do pwede sabi ng kasama ko” but I insisted. Then one of the staff in the kitchen came to me angry and said “ Hindi pwede kasi magbabayad kami sa BIR!” WHATTTT!!!! %8&#@*%!!!!!!!!! I felt like my blood pressure gone up, and my hidden waray waray nature came out (no need to detail every thing) Then the other kitchen staff came rushing with the new O.R. and apologizing for everything.

The place is supposed to be good in ambiance, but surely I will not recommend this resto and even warn people not to go to here.

I've been to Baguio several times but the recent trip I had, it was superb. Had lots of time to shop, stroll and eat. Oh yes! eat!! Discovered Zola at Session Road, they served the best tasting sizzling, pasta and salad at a very affordable rate. We stayed there for two days but we are always present at Zola from breakfast till dinner. Our bill was only a little over P300.00 that's a complete meal. Am from Makati and having dinner or just snack for two costs more than P300.00. Zola is the best so far in Baguio.

I have tried many restaurants after coming to Boguio but the best so far is a restaurant called Plaisata, its very hidden away, if you find it your are in luck. Its at the top of a parking lot near a pink church, very random all I can say. Its on session road

Sitting at the top you get a best view of the town and the mountains. The food is excellent and the service is very good. It’s small but nice.

but a bit expencive about 500 pesos for a very good meal

Favorite Dish: tanguri chicken, but their steak is also very good

This is a local chain restaurant that I found to be quite good.
The food was good (you get soup of the day along with your meal), the drinks cold and the staff were good and efficient.

Favorite Dish: Aussie T Bone steak

Ok you have to eat and there are some nice local resaurants to eat at such as, Sizzling Plate, Cafe by The ruins is excellent as is The Rose Bowl and Carlos Pizza...
The one place I would highlu recommend though is a Swiss place on Sessions rd - it's a 3 in 1 job with Bruno's Cafe at the front then Le Pettite Bar and right down the back is La Chalet restaurant...
This place is slighty on the high price (for the Pilippines) but the quality of food and service coupled witha relaxed ambience makes it a well worth while eatery...

Favorite Dish: hmmmm The Swiss style Goulash was a fav

456 Restaurant is locally owned and had been in business since I could remember. I have lived in Baguio City from 1978-1989 and this place is still there having the same business as usual - catering to the old folks of Baguio and to local tourists! This is a place to be at lunch time! University students gather here for their weekly meetings. You can see local real estate brokers and local businessmen drink their fresh-brewed coffee and get the latest news in town. The local newspaper journalists come here and chat. Local politicians, lawyers, teachers and the local residents visit this place to eat, rub elbows, read the newspaper or and get their first hand news circulating in town!

Favorite Dish: I like their chopsuey. It comes with freshly cut home-grown vegetables - a beautiful mix of sweet peas, cabbage, lettuce, bell pepper, sweet tiny corns, carrots, onions, shallots, fresh green onions and garlic mixed all together with chicken and/or pork.

The food comes with freshly boiled white rice served in their white china platter.

Make sure to order their freshly-brewed coffee and egg-drop soup!
