Cafe by the Ruins Dua

The clean white, vaguely colonial decor makes one of North Luzon's best meals taste even swankier. Local specialities such as carabao (water buffalo) cheese, etag (smoked pork), mountain rice and jackfruit are woven into a seasonal menu inspired by dishes from around the world. Live music and poetry readings pop up on occasion and there's an all-round intellectual, bohemian vibe.
