Another one from the archives.

Back in 1989, Doreen G. Fernandez, a food critic and writer for the Philippine Daily Inquirer,described Café by the Ruins as “food for the body and soul.”

Attached is our Gado-Gado Salad, one of our original recipes that has been with us since 1989.

More than three decades later, we continue to serve food rooted in local ingredients, tradition, and creativity.

Truly, food for the body and soul. 🤍

Did you know? ❤️
Café by the Ruins was started by a bunch of friends among them, a painter, a surrealist sculptor, a journalist, a dog-lover, an anthropologist, a musician and a cook. They all laughed a lot and loved to eat.

The ruins were the remains of the house of Phelps Whitmarsh who was once the governor when the Americans were beginning to develop Baguio as their hill station. In an earlier incarnation, the ruins had been a garden theater but when that venture failed, Whitmarsh turned it into his residence. The bombs of World War II destroyed much of the house leaving only 4 concrete arches.

The friends took over the ruins and set up a place to hang out and meet in. Soon enough, a dap-ay was built and Cañaos were offered to the unseen guardians of the place. The business grew and grew steadily for many years until a fire burned its cogon roof in half an hour in 2017.

Today, Café by the Ruins welcomes friends and guests in a new structure but the ruins continue to witness all comings and goings.
