Pinares Pagkaing Pinoy - Baguio

The prices are very reasonable for the generous portions they serve. The service is quick, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. The food is delicious and definitely worth trying. This is a must-visit restaurant! I'm sure we'll be back. We ordered bangus, bagnet, dinuguan, pakbet, tausi, and kutsero.

The staff is friendly and attentive, and the portion sizes are generous. The menu items are reasonably priced, and the dining area is well-lit. Just a tip: be cautious with the salt in some of their vegetable dishes.

Eat is absolutely delicious! The textures are spot on: the fried meat is crispy without being tough, and it's cooked with vegetables that maintain their integrity rather than turning mushy, even when prepared with coconut. The flavors are rich but not overwhelming. The portion sizes are definitely worth the price. Kudos!

Pakbet Rice, Bagnet Express... Crispy Dinuguan. Love all of it. Price? The best priced restaurant in Baguio so far!

As foreigner I tried Philippine food in Manila a few times before and I can 't say I was happy with local dish. Overly expensive and definitely not for westerners, you 'd think! So I was very reluctant actually trying it again at a restaurant with local dish. To my surprise, local Philippine food taste among the best in the world! At Pinares they managed to turn my not so positive experience into an extremely positive one. Now I love Philippine food. And it 's always fresh! Dishes I tried so far all the Beef and all the Veggie choices. The soup of the day is a must try, every day delicious. As for the service, perfect! Not sticking to the table nor have to wait for them. Recommendation: remove the posters on the windows. The view to the park in front of the City Hall is amazing for a city-center Restaurant. The park is beautiful maintained. So it disturbs me a bit to have the posters blocking the view to the park. They should have some billboard or these flags some restaurants have in front of the Restaurant on the pavement because I wouldn 't have noticed the Restaurant if not someone would have told me. So instead of posters which are almost impossible to see from the road but block the view to the park, use flags or billboards on the pavement that actually point out the restaurant to the public, especially foreigners, while not blocking the view to the park of the city hall.
