Baguio is one of the cities that opened its borders to tourists who want to take a break from being cooped up at home. Having been quarantined for more than a year already, it seems like a no-brainer to just go for the classics like Café By The Ruins, Farmer's Daughter, Good Taste Café & Restaurant, Oh My Gulay, and Baguio Craft Brewery.
If you're staying there for a longer time and you want to try something new or discover a new favorite perhaps, we've listed new restaurants and cafés you can find in the City of Pines!
