1. 50s Diner
Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account
If you’re looking for cool places to eat in Baguio, then head over to 50s Diner. Inside there is memorabilia and posters of pop icons, as well as a jukebox. They have a kind of 50s atmosphere, but not really. 50s Diner is more of a restaurant than a diner. It’s quite spacious. And what sets them apart from other restaurants is their huge servings. It’s a good value for the money because they offer affordable and delicious food. Visit them on weekdays and during lunch; they have too many customers during weekends.

Tip from Trip101 local expert
I absolutely love The 50’s Diner! It's my go-to spot for delicious and affordable meals. From the moment you step in, the retro decor, nostalgic music, and overall ambiance transport you straight back to the 1950s. What I adore about this place is the generous portions and big servings that never disappoint. The menu is like a treasure trove with so many options to choose from—burgers, fries, milkshakes, and more. It's my little slice of the past with every visit!
