One of the things I look forward to whenever we have a work-related trip to Baguio is the food. Aside from its cool climate and picturesque mountain sceneries, another thing to love about Baguio is that it has a lot of food options. In this post, I list down 20 must-try restaurants in Baguio for your next trip to the city of Pines. I asked my friend Exequiel (Ex), a foodie, for his recommendations on where to eat in Baguio. My friend Violet (Vi) contributed a few items to this list as well.
