The Ultimate Baguio City Guide for 2015: Where to Stay and Eat in the City of Pines

I’m really thankful that a lot of people loved my feature last year about the 10 New Must Try Dishes and Experiences in Baguio City.  I never thought the article would be such a hit, that it definitely  helped the businesses that were featured. It feels truly fulfilling to know that I was able to help a lot of people in my own little way.

I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about Baguio since that successful feature, so I made it a point to visit more frequently this year, in order to come up with an updated 2015 feature. Since the holiday season is just around the corner, and due to insistent public demand, here’s an updated list on where to stay and eat in Baguio City collected from all my visits this year.

Before I proceed with our “Eatinerary,” here are my recommend places to stay:

If you’re looking for affordable accommodations in Baguio City, I recommend you stay at Tasaday Transient House located at 34 Claro M. Recto Street, Navy Base, Baguio City. Super homey, safe and conveniently located near Botanical Garden. Every room has its own toilet and bath with reliable heater plus the house also has fast wifi connection. There’s also a kitchen where you can cook and spacious living room area to entertain guests.

Here are the current rates: 

Annex unit – P4,200 good for 12
Main house – P5,400 good for 12

If you plan to “hybernate” for a couple of days, I suggest you stay at Cafe in the Sky. They have a couple of rooms for rent there, plus a house that can accommodate around 10 people for only 5k/night. Their cafe also serves highly satisfying dishes and coffee to-die-for!
