Things to do in Sagada

  1. Yoghurt House

    Fuel up here with mountain coffee and delicious homemade yoghurt before a long day of hiking or caving. Then return for dinner to carb-load on delicious vegetarian pasta dishes or rösti (shredded fried potatoes).

  2. Masferré Inn & Restaurant

    The food here is among the best in town, but what really makes this place stand out are the awesome, powerful prints of the late Sagada-born photographer Eduardo Masferré. Ask the proprietor for a tour of the Masferré Gallery, which is just outside of town. Rooms were under renovation when we visited.

  3. Bana’s Cafe

    This artsy place specialises in coffee and breakfast (great omelettes). Its narrow balcony overlooks a gorge and catches the morning sun.

  4. Log Cabin

    One of Sagada’s many wonderful surprises is this aptly named eatery. The Western-style food is hearty and elegantly presented, and on Saturday evening there’s a buffet (prepaid reservations only) prepared by a French chef, who also bakes fresh bread for the restaurant. To top it all off there’s good wine and a fireplace. You must drop by in the morning to place your order.
