Rose Bowl Restaurant - Comfort Food in Baguio City

I was supposed to write this last year right after we returned from a trip to Baguio City. Somehow, I never got to finish this article about a sentimental trip to the Summer Capital of the Philippines. Here are a few photos from January 2025. Since it had been years since the last trip to Baguio, we just had to go back to Rose Bowl. My first time to eat there was in 1995, for my first project out of grad school. That was a traffic study for the Bokawkan Flyover.

Fast forward to 2025 and we just wanted to go to familiar places we've gone to before. One of these was Rose Bowl. We were so hungry when we arrived at the restaurant that I was not able to take many photos. But we did have a great lunch there. The food is still good! The staff were also quite familiar as many have been employed there for a long time now. The kitchen and the staff are very efficient and our food was served soon after we ordered.

I have always eaten at Rose Bowl since my first time in Baguio in 1995.

I am already looking forward to the next trip to Baguio. Hopefully, that will happen sooner than later. Will I be going to Rose Bowl again? Likely, if it was a family trip. If I will be traveling there for work, then probably we'll try out other restaurants, too. Baguio, after all, has so much to offer in terms of food.
