Good job FEATR on doing a thorough research on these food places. These are legit restos/eateries where a Baguio local like me would consider as a place to find that authentic Baguio flavor that we always miss and reminisce about! These are truly Baguio gems that we treasure! 💙💙💙
Awesome thank you!
Featuring Louisa's Cafe is the highlight for a local like me. One of the few original restaurants in Baguio.
FEATR is so underrated. this kind of videos should go viral and gets spread for everyone.
Totally agree!
+1
It’s not bro there are just type of “people” like us who preferred this type of channel and style. So you can say we’re just not part of the general demograph who’s allured by these vlogs showcasing places who either paid them or just hyping up a mediocre food.
From watching a lot of pinoy TH-cam content creators and foreign ones.. FEATR, any pinoy can tell is directed or edited by someone with foreign influences. In Tagalog hindi akma sa panlasa ng masang Pinoy.
yup tama!
Sa tagal ko dito sa Baguio eto yung nakita ko na talagang nagpakita ng kainan na panlasang baguio talaga. Kudos FEATR👍
Hands down Erwan is one of the best food blogger! Not just food but he includes the culture and nature also. Ive watched the other video multiple time when he visited benguet and mt province long time ago, i loved its cinematography. Thanks FEATR for showing what our culture is. Im an igorot now living in Canada and this video makes me wanna retire and just go back home and live there for the rest of my life😂
Wow, thank you!
yup,
im secretly watching his art since when he start vlogging. and this is my first time commenting on his vlog hehe
The only content creator who really makes "content" with a lot of substance nowadays. Awesome work as always🥰
💯
I appreciate erwan for mingling so well with the local uncles 😊 one in a million.
And yes, he should be in Netflix 🙏🏼
He could definetly be on netflix!
As a local of Baguio, I would say you really showed an authentic side of our city specially those comfort food which I miss the most. These restos will never be overrated. They will forever be our pride. There maybe a lot of traffic and tourists nowadays but we will never be greedy to share these good and fresh food. That Katipunan Inn is a total Baguio locals thing, specially with matching karaoke and ginC2 on the side😂
Thanks!
Yung mga kainan sa tapat ng Burnham park walang kalasa lasa yung bulalo
@@rommelmoralde6300 kaya po hindi siya recommended ng mga locals. punta ka na lang sa slaughter
Definetly a place to go for eating and vlogging? :D
wala na ba talaga nagseserve ng mga dog meat doon sa hilera ng katipunan?? 😅😅
Omg! He made you walk up session road then up to assumption, then, down general luna road, through shoppers Lane to get to the miners hang out! Now, that is a real local food tour! Baguio is indeed walkable. I think that's one big thing visitors should learn from this clip. Thank you for the feature of genuine baguio eats.
Your content is top notch and not personality centered! It's refreshing!
Or baka naedit na yun. Naiba lang timing
Luisa's is truly an institution. I guess it's safe to say that most Baguio locals have fond memories of the place. If only Dainty's, Star Cafe, and all of the other old restaurants we grew up with are still standing. Thanks for featuring the Hometown, FEATR!
This is why research is important, thorough ones. I think it’s what’s missing in most videos now, since lahat na pwede magvideo and upload, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but it’s just refreshing to watch videos like this. As much as I want to gatekeep most of the places they featured, they deserve to be introduced to more people, to better understand and feel Baguio’s culture. Han nga ajay SM lang ti pappanan da.
Great job, FEATR and Erwan! 🫡
Lived the best 5 years of my life while in Baguio during college. I'm working overseas now, thanks to this video I suddenly felt I could breathe baguio's atmosphere again by reminiscing through your clips! I remeber watching indie films in cinematheque which I think got transferred in Ililikha. I left Baguio while the cinema was still a work on progress, I'm so happy to see it finally done, and it looks so cool! I remember painting murals around the city and getting a chance to meet Kidlat Tahimik. It's such a vibrant community.
I thought I could get over Baguio's nostalgic aura, but everytime I see clips showing the food, people and the culture, I start to remember every good memory I had in the city, with a bit of tears haha. Can't wait to go back home ,❤. Thank youuu FEATR!
Thanks for featuring the OGs of Baguio food scene and not the commercial tourist traps and restaurants often featured by other content creators. Kuya JJ is one of the best photojournalist in the city and his photos date back to the 80s as well as the most harrowing shots I have seen during the 1990 Killer Earthquake. He is definitely the best guide if you want to see a different perspective of a cultural melting pot that is Baguio. Good Job, Featr team! ❤❤❤
Thanks for appreciating! Hope you enjoy the rest of the Baguio videos in the next few weeks
Met him once.. He is a good guy 😊
I miss the "secret" food being served in the Katipunan Inn area. Huge respect for featuring the local resto. I think you were the only one who featured them, especially the Katipunan Inn.
🐶🐶🐶
You can have it in Wangal Housing area tho 😁
Sana lahat ganto hindi ung ibang food vlogs na kakain kahit saan parang nakakasawa na kulang sila sa storytelling may background ung gantong pagkain saan galing. Kudos talaga sa FEATR.
Proper respect by showing Good Taste first
This kind of feature/documentary showcases the legit Baguio food (past and present). I think the charm goes on through culture preservation or culture-embedded items that are clearly shown in the food and different forms of art. I was looking at Erwan's reactions when he was served the food and I am more than happy to see him deeply appreciating what is served and how it is served. Most (not all) bloggers and vloggers who are just into views would show unappreciative reactions. They wouldn't understand since they focused on their perspective of what and how it should be, instead of accepting the fact that it is really as is.
Kudos to FEATR, Erwan, the Writers, and the Researchers who did this video!
As a Cordilleran, this is something authentic and unpretentious- an understanding of Baguio City as the melting pot of the Cordillera Administrative Region. I hope you would go on creating these vids for the rest of Cordillera and the country! There are so many underrated food that needs to be revisited and rediscovered by the younger gen!
Matago-tago tako am-in (mabuhay tayong lahat!)
Thank you for featuring the good ole Luisa's Cafe in Session Rd. One thing i appreciate about the staff, is that they speak our Ibaloi dialect whenever possible..Truly one of the original restaurants of Baguio/Benguet..
just wanted to add that katipunan and most of the restaurants in that part of the city..(I don't like to mention, but around the dangwa terminal area), during the old days, is where they serve dog meat. I dont know but, ung sabaw ng karne ng aso, the taste, the smell..it's unique..you cannot compare to others like pork or chicken.. kaya may time talaga na hinahanap hanap ung lasa kc iba talaga..pero wala na..dati pag gusto mo makatikim, jan sa banda jan ka pupunta...
Kudos Featr. Never fails to amaze me. Ito Yun mga content na pinag iisipang mabuti and matagalan Ang research. Plus Baguio has a special place in my heart and also to millions of Filipinos. The food the culture. Good job Sir Erwan. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 Filipino food forward!
As a local, I appreciate you featuring authentic Baguio restos.
Im a resident of Baguio. Indeed, the restaurants you featured truly represent the local's favorites. This is by far the best and most accurate food documentary of my hometown.
there is something about Erwan's storytelling and even the treatment of his material here that appeals to me...like I can be in the place where he is, connect with the culture, and just soak in the simplicity of life. wow. kudos to everyone behind FEATR.
i love how Erwan presented the different restaurants with deep cultural origin. It's Raw & Informative.
So fascinating to see Baguio on a different person's lens. All the areas you went to, I have been and been passing thru everyday, and i have never seen Baguio this colorful. Looking forward to your Mang Ed's story, he is my family's go to place to eat out... lots of love from a Baguio local ❤
Yeah, this video really makes us want to go there and eat and explore!
Grew up in Baguio and Benguet in the 80’s, 90’s and remembering some of these local restaurants. Not sure if the others are still in business but reminiscing all these Highlander food that I’m craving. Having been here in the US for almost 30 years makes me appreciate for this kind of content featuring my hometown. Thank you FEATR, “matago tago kayo”
Thank you for representing the local eateries in my city. Baguio's little charms which I hope will carry on thriving for more years.
I love how this channel gives importance to the culture behind every dish. Each episode is well researched! ❤
What I like about this video is Featr reaching out to the locals who can showcase the authenticity of the place. Been to baguio few times but never knew this gems exist. Can't wait to visit Baguio again. ❤
I'm a student in baguio city and this is actually a great representation of what the city has to offer but this is only the tip of the iceberg, you'll discover cooler spots as you explore. You might even have a go-to karinderya that will call you Ading and your usual order or a local bar that knows your usual drink and how many sticks of cigs.
Nice! Took notes of the eccentric & cozy places you've visited. Nothing like the real old school Baguio. Please continue sharing your passion and the country's "forgotten" culture. You simply rock, Erwan!
As a local of the city, i can easily say that you did realy great in featuring the authentic side of Baguio. You featured places where some of the younger generations may not even know exists. You just made me missed home even more. Thank you!
Kudos to Erwan & team it's so informative. It makes me want to visit Baguio and go the restos you visited.
Erwan is such a cool vlogger no fuss and no kaartehan .
I remember Baguio as a kid. The first time my family vaycayed there was when I first met my half sister. She was visiting from California, and her new husband had then rented a car and taken the entire family to Baguio. Tbh I hate that it's very crowded and tourist-central nowadays. My parents are from Burgos and Pangasinan, and yah, a lot of touristy things now
Great content, FEATR team! It's so amazing how Baguio can sill be stand on its own name of being the summer capital of the Philippines at the same time can preserve its ethnic culture and heritage (food, museums, tourist) sites at this very modern age. Kudos to all!
salute sir erwan sa pag feature sa baguio lalo na sa hidden area food place ikaw lang Nakagawa nito❤❤❤❤
Thank you FEATR for featuring my city. It's special in a way like nowhere else. You took me down memory lane and nostalgia.
Luisa's had been a hang out place for the who's who of the seniors too. Even the servers were the legends. New generation discovered the place na.
heto na talaga ang mas non-linear [nagdadala ng engagement] na food journalism content sa pilipinas. hands down ang finest work. mahiya naman kayo sa mga food vlogging na hindi makakaabot sa mga content neto pero kung sana lahat ng content ay orihinal na lamang hindi na kinokopya lamang sa iba.....
I love it! I hope more people visit these restaurants and keep the culture alive.
Thank you, Erwan, for such a thoughtful piece. I haven’t been to Baguio in ages and now you’ve given me several reasons to go. I know you have a crew with you but seeing just you on screen makes it feel like it’s your personal journey. Good job!
Good job featr! Ito yung content na hindi lang basta may maicontent.
Thank you for featuring our hometown. ❤Indeed all these
are famous resto in our city. Also we have Oh my Gulay in La Azotea Bldg. Also a splendid work of Art in the city like Ililikha 😊.Love this! Missing my hometown Baguio City.🥰
As a full-blooded Igorot, I'm genuinely glad you got to try our authentic culinary and locally grown restos . It's nostalgic. You made me wanna go home Pinas.
I love how FEATR documentaries are so comforting
Dayta ah ti mayat nga istorya..
Authentic Baguio cooking....
Yung good for 2 person lang yung order mo pero kasya na ng limang tao. Goodtaste lang yarn! hope you enjoy visiting baguio
We absolutely loved it. 🥰
Thank you again for all your wonderful episodes..missing Baguio City now...keep it coming!
Nag-aaral ako sa baguio ngayon, grabe ang ganda sa ili likha mapuntahan nga yan hehe
Thank you for showing, not just food, but history, culture and arts too! You showed the legit Baguio food which has been enjoyed through the times.
Love your local food documentaries! More power to you and your crew! :)
Glad you like them!

I missed these type of content from Erwan ❤️ can’t wait for more!!
Thank you! I love how you uniquely tell the story of Baguio City. We need more of these kind of story telling reminding of the roots and heritage.
As an aspiring creative, one of my dream projects would be to work with Sir Erwan's team because the narrative of your videos speaks volumes about the quality and work that you put into each project. This amazing feature of our beloved city won every Baguio locals heart. Agyaman kami and see you around! More power to FEATR.!
You're so back! I missed this kind of vlog of yours. Keep it coming!
As someone who grew up and was born in Baguio, this video just made me think how much I miss my life there. I love Vancouver but nothing beats home.
this channel is si underrated!!! and Erwan is so underrated! he is smart and the channel looks really deep into details and sure is well-researched. Im from the Cordilleras and the video gave me the vibes of it. other videos dont do that. and yes all those featured are the best in the area.... really.
Hello Ewan. I originally from Baguio.but live here in Australia. I love watching you on our SBS channel . You are doing a good job. Thank you.
Proud to be a Baguio local and thank you Featr for putting Baguio food into the spotlight!❤
Top 10 places to visit in the PH for vlogging and eating? 😍
The Secret places mostly locals would only know, hands down to another well researched and produced content, what a champion 👌
Can't wait to try The Farmer's Daughter Restaurant & Luisa's Cafe when we visit Baguio. Miss our Igorot food either.
You are so fortunate to have met sir JJ and got to tour with him! Truly one of the great journos in the city!
I'm so glad you get to visit our town and tried unique food 😊😊😊 Wish I could see you more often when you come back here. Suberp content 💯
I've been living here in Baguio for 4 years now and choosing to reside here I can say is the best decisions of my life. Never heard of the Katipunan though, but I'm excited to visit. ♥ Thanks for this very comforting vlog!
Thanks! We hope you like it
Mostly native dish doon sa katipunan.
I am so impressed by how Baguio is presented. I love the place but this video took it to the next level. Great job Erwan and team! 🎉
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 keep it up, Erwan. great feature and you genuinely look comfortable immersing with the locals and appreciating Filipino cultures and cuisines.
Prolly one of my favorite FEATR vids. Thank you for showcasing what a whole lot more Baguio can offer. Those local restos deserve the attention and love from tourists. That’s what Baguio taste like!
Thank you Erwan for mentioning our coffee shop. I'm the barista at Nest Coffee Roasters. Kudos to your vlog! We hope to see you in our shop someday! :))
Thank you for featuring the authentic and true face of baguio. You are able to shed to what is Behind those glamorous city lights and bustling streets of baguio.
Loved the way Baguio was represented here Sir. Also loved the approach on introducing each spot. Congratulations! Thank you too! 🎊🫶☺️
Omg. This is perfect. We're planning to go to Baguio. Thank you, Featr.
Erwan and this channel really provide great content. Underrated gem for real.
Thanks for featuring the best of Baguio food! Love your video!
Thank you 🙏🏼 for showcasing my hometown again!! ❤
Food and culture = always a great mix! Featr’s videos only get better and better. Way to go Erwan and team 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Part 2 pls! Cuz there are more places you have not seen.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of baguio city, our place!👏👏👏😃
Another quality content. As always, cinematography at it’s finest. Thank you Erwan for always featuring our beloved place. Missing home.
Thank you for walking me around. I like that you styled like a Baguio boy. Or maybe you just blend in naturally. You know how to position yourself so the featured place and people stands out. Those voiceovers in between and at the end were well written. I really heard, felt and almost tasted Baguio.👏 👏 👏
No skipping of ads. Erwan deserves it! ❤❤❤
i ran out reasons to go back to Baguio but this right here made me want to explore Baguio as a whole. Featr great job on the contents
Being a native of Baguio, this video, its tone, theme and style speaks the nostalgia I feel for my hometown. It captures the images of Baguio I vividly remember whenever I think of home. It's become busier than ever, but it holds its charm and the proud culture for those who call it home. Man, I am so excited for your upcoming episodes on Baguio City.
Also, you might notice that the city attracts not only swarms of tourists but also students from neighboring provinces...since you're on a food adventure, might I suggest you check out some of OG the food shacks that students have been frequenting (hopefully they're still there) around the university belt... my favorite being Soledad's near Saint louis University and try out their porkchop and bopis. LoL! Just ask taxi or jeepney drivers how to get there. You need to get there as early as 11am though, they sell out fast.
Anywhooo... thank you for this feature team Featr. I appreciate your artistry and work. 💜
Thank you Erwan and FEATR for this very faithful representation of Baguio. As someone who hasn’t been home for years, this truly warms and comforts my heart. This is the Baguio I know. ❤
Great content Featr, as usual! This made me feel like as if I’ve travelled back in time e.g. watching old travel shows.
I’ve never been to these places but it made me feel like I’ve eaten there before. Truly giving a sense of nostalgia and maybe deja vu.
ganda ng episode na to!! makikita mo ung culture mismo ng baguio, tyaka ung mga kainan more na gantong content pls!
I love how it was describe. Thank you for featuring are local food.
Thanks alot Featr especially Erwan. Watching from London. Haven't been home for ages so this is a great way to remind me and others who have been living abroad what we are missing.❤
Thank you Erwan for showing our home, our tradition, our people and our pride. God speed
I felt the same thing with Baguio when I visited last year there is something mystic with the fog and the view of the mountains that makes time slow down for you to enjoy. Can’t wait to go back 👌🏻🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing! Let us know when you try any of the restaurants we featured!
Well sa dami ng tao di na sya fog. Smog na 😂
I love seeing this documentary style of food and culture. I haven't been back in 15 years and this makes me so excited to explore more of the Philippines when I visit next. One that is not my family's POV of famous places, but small businesses and charming spots that make the city!
We always look forward visiting goodtaste restaurant everytime we we're in baguio. Plus farmer's daughter na sobrang sarap ng food and tama ka Erwan hindi siya typical na food, dun mo lang siya matitikman talaga. Specially yung pinikpikang manok nila! Ngayon may bago na kaming susubukan, yung mga hidden places nabanggit mo. Thanks for featuring lokals! All the best Erwan!
More of this please 🥺 this docu makes me want to travel to baguio, and visit those secret places 🤍🖤🖤🤍
Baguio will always have a special place in my heart. Growing up visiting Baguio twice a year.
Hands down!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 more roadtrips and contents like this 🥺🥺🥺
Thank you for these Erwan and Team FEATR. Something to look forward on our next Baguio trip.
Thank you! This is love letter to my beloved city.
You made me miss Baguio my home town....Thank you for showing all the local restaurants
I'm impressed. You really are knowledgeable with what we locals enjoy. This is highly recommended. Be sharing this. ❤
This is what we call empowering filipino dishes, not only dishes but showing the beautiful places in specific place. Galinga!❤
Wow this is amazing it brings me back to my hometown ..thank you for featuring our rich culture and our food ❤❤❤
Watching this brings so much nostalgia amd makes me miss home even more. The sights, the sounds, even the smell 😅
Thank you for featuring pinuneg and making it known to the world, Erwan and Team! It's also one of my favorite dishes. Also, you sounded like a true Cordilleran when you mentioned etag and kinuday. Like seriously, who knows and talks about those food!? It's official, FEATR is now my favorite digital food video channel. You guys are legit! Looking forward for more! Stay true to your channel description, "to unite people through essential human needs: connection and food." :) All the best!
Great cinematography, hindi nakakahilo panoorin, great job!
