Astralis’ Wine and Raclette buffet

The Resurrection of Mario’s Restaurant
No words can describe how good it feels to be back to an old favorite. Mario’s restaurant has been the mover of the Philippine fine dining scene since it started 38 years ago. My goodness, the restaurant is as old as I am! I remember my childhood days when no visit to Baguio was ever complete without a meal at Mario’s Session Road. My folks used to spend their special occasions at Mario’s and their Callos (ox tripe) was one of the family’s favorites.
The Bo’s of Coffee
Most of the well-known coffee shops in and around Metro Manila as mostly franchises from abroad. For a change I decided to visit a local coffee shop known to have been started in the Queen City of the South, Cebu City.
