Tourists hiking up in Maligcong, going to the hot springs of Mainit, or breaking up their trip to Banaue or Kalinga have a good reason to make a stopover at the Bontoc poblacion: good food and coffee as well as craft beer at the new Bontoc Bed and Bistro.
Happyfoodies chanced upon this eating place, barely two months old, on a recent trip to Maligcong and saw the delicious possibilities. Some friends and I shared a 3-Cheese Pizza (P280) to go along with Sagada craft wheat beer, some Buffalo Wings (P195) (the garlic dip is just yummy) and Pork Texas (P145) accompanied by cold coffee and craft coffee beer (interesting combination really). I’m not really into alcoholic beverages but I do appreciate the fresher taste of craft beers and the Sagada craft beers hit the sweet spot.

The menu reads like a meat-eater’s tale (understandably so since really fresh seafood is hard to come by up here in the mountains): Parmesan Wings (P220), Pesto Chicken Pasta (P145), Hawaiian Pizza (P250), even Clubhouse Sandwiches (P180) though there’s a sprinkling of fish, too (Fish & Chips (P165), Seafood Marinara (P165)).
The brewed coffee is good, especially when enjoyed with some sweet treats (chanced upon two kinds of brownies at the time of my visit; the light kind topped with vanilla ice cream). Next time, will try out the ice blended coffees.
Whether you’re dropping by for a meal or just chilling out with a beer or some java, Bontoc Bed and Bistro just maybe your kind of place, should you find yourself in Bontoc.
