Contributed by Little Feet

I will always be visiting Baguio not just because of the sweater weather, but because of the food and the things to do. Thanks to TPLEX, the travel time was cut down to 4.5 hours, rather than the usual 6-hour drive.

Here are some points of interest in Baguio, most are popular places but I want to share the photos I took! 🙂

Food

I loved their Christmas-themed. Blueberry cheesecake! It was not too sweet and it’s perfect for my palate.

We love going here on rainy afternoons for coffee or for dessert because of it’s cosy ambience. They have a selection of cakes and al fresco dining with mountain views. A hotel is also situated below the restaurant.

Vibrant, creative and interesting, Ili Likha Artist Village is a developing work of art that embraces eco-architecture. It is just a few minutes from Session Road.

It is a collaboration of locals who offer different delicacies at affordable prices.

This is the must-try Balbacua! I forgot about the price but as far as I remember, this is ₱60.

Baguio is also popular for its Panagbenga (Flower Festival)

Entrance of Ili Likha Artist Village

in Legarda road is probably our favourite restaurant in Baguio. It serves authentic Japanese food in a homey, Baguio-vibe set-up. Most of the time, the restaurant is full around dinner so make sure that you call them for reservations.

They have a wide variety of items from their menu list, but this make-your-own sushi (good for 4) is one of our top picks.

I recommend that you try their green tea ice cream. SUPER SARAP

A more popular place to enjoy hot chocolate and merienda.

is a garden themed bar located along Leonard Wood road. It is part of the three restaurants of the Camp. What differentiates from the other restaurants is that it has a live band every night and the tables are consumable.
