Diner Dash: The Face Off between 50’s Diner, Jim’s Retro Diner and Future Diner (finale)

Our diner dash competition for the best Baguio diners continues.  Introducing the third and final contender, Future Diner.  And their off!

The Third Contender: Future Diner

Race and I found ourselves on the opposite side of town when we planned to check out what gastronomic delights places like the ones found in Hotel Supreme could offer.  Getting off in front of the old building of Hotel Supreme, the Ivy Grill and Restaurant and what was known as the Orchid Bar was all dark, ominous (woooohhhhh) and deserted.  We had question marks in our eyes thinking that we made the trip out there for nothing but then turning around, we saw that the new building of Hotel Supreme had other restaurants.  One particularly noticeable establishment was Future Diner.

How the List was Made…

You hear it all the time that there are only a handful of places that you can get good food in the City of Baguio.  Before I started on my quest, I had the same state of mind.  The saying, ‘seek and you shall find’ applies to this situation.  If you only go to the places that are found in town, you’ll be missing out on a lot of things.  Let’s establish from here on out that there are many places to get good food in Baguio.  As we speak, there might be a new eatery or restaurant opening in the city.  Beyond the restaurants that you find on Session Road, there are gems to be found that have made it their mission to cater to our needs and our cravings in other parts of Baguio.  Let’s follow what the Good Book says and seek, so we can find.

Diner Dash: The Face Off between 50’s Diner, Jim’s Retro Diner and Future Diner (part 2)

And now for part two of the diner dash competition!  On your mark, get set, go!

The Second Contender: Jim’s Retro Diner

In comparison to 50’s Diner, the longest running diner in Baguio City, Jim’s Retro Diner is fairly new.  It sort of looks like a ‘mini me’ compared to the veteran restaurant for its smaller floor space, smaller diner booths and smaller retro era memorabilia.  A one up that the Retro Diner has on the other diners in this competition is that, they’re right in the center of town, Session Road.  Walking by La Azotea building, be sure to look below Sports House, so you won’t miss it.
