The restaurant serves the classic Filipino cuisine, which is typically a rice-and-meat dish. However, a typical meal in Barrio Fiesta is composed of a full-course meal from appetizers to desserts. Classic favorites are the pork barbecue, lumpiang shanghai and kaldereta. Beverages are a choice between sodas, iced tea and the native buko pandan, while desserts are leche flan and sagot gulaman. The price of a full-course meal ranges from 330 pesos to 350 pesos, depending on the dishes included in the meal.
Barrio Fiesta in Baguio grabs attention through its outer ambience, as vibrant statues welcome the visitors from the entrance. The façade of the restaurant is full of colorful decorations that portray Baguios heritage as it proudly displays the culture of the Igorots who have long inhabited the city. Along the entrance are also statues of famous Filipino historical figures and how they are often portrayed by the modern Filipino society. Because of the restaurants wild and colorful decorations, visitors cannot resist the chance for a photo-op to take home a souvenir of their unique dining experience.
The restaurant is highly accessible as it is situated at one of Baguios main commercial districts, which is Session Road. Hence, Barrio Fiesta is few minutes away from a number of hotels. One of these hotels is the Microtel Inns and Suites, known for its classic and elegant ambience. For more affordable accommodations, there is the La Brea Inn and the Benguet Prime Hotel.
Barrio Fiesta offers the classic Filipino dining experiencesimple, vibrant and sentimental. The restaurant does not only give the customers the opportunity to try out the local cuisine, it also gives a sneak peek on Filipino culture. Barrio Fiesta is specifically located at Igorot Stairs, Upper Session Road, Baguio city and can be contacted through 63-74-443-93-54.
I enjoyed making our project even though it was hard for us to complete everything for the Cyberfair competition because there were other requirements in school other than this project. I enjoyed taking pictures in the said place. I enjoyed viewing the giant-sized statues. I also appreciated the concept of Barrio Fiesta, the statues that reminds us about the Igorots, the Baguio's early inhabitants. I enjoyed the script making because it helped us bring out our talents in speaking. Also, I am glad that we (our group mates and us) became closer to each other because of the project. I am glad that our group mates showed interest in the project. Actually they are the ones who always open up the topic about the project.
Most of all I enjoyed eating in the restaurant. It was my second time to eat there (I can't remember when was the first time). We ate there to get their menu. Unfortunately, they do not simply give their menu to other people. Well, at least we enjoyed.
I enjoyed a lot of things about the project making. I enjoyed almost everything about it... including the experiences. About the interview... only one of us interviewed the general manager. But maybe, if I had accompanied her, I would also enjoy the interview because she told me that Barrio fiesta's General Manager entertained her; she said that he was nice. He had told her a lot about the place... about the history and stuffs.
I am glad that because of this project, we also became knowledgeable about this place. It was surely a great pleasure to know a lot of things about Barrio Fiesta. I just hope that we can win the contest.
Good luck to all of us !!
