I know it's kinda expensive po but as you can see, hindi po ko nagtipid sa food. I wanna try everything the place can offer. From their survival food, famous coffee shops and even Mt. Iraya. I make sure that I'm gonna climb that godamn mountain before heading back to Manila.

I'm pretty sure that the expenses can be compressed down to 15k or less. If your aircraft is PAL, oh please maximize your 10kgs check-in baggage. You can bring canned foods and other stuff needed instead of buying in Batanes. Food and fare are really expensive there. 

It's been few weeks since my Batanes travel and until now, can's;t move on still. It may be expensive but I assure you. IT WILL BE WORTH IT and I will surely go back to visit Itbayat. 😍😊

I wanted to try everything the place could offer whenever I travel. From food to activities to traditions. Batanes, a "a touch of heaven on earth" not only because of it's amazing landscapes and view, but also the FOOOOD.

Here are the list of **must try restaurants to complete your Batanes adventure.

1. PENSION IVATAN

A restaurant located just across Basco Airport. One of the many famous restaurants at gives Ivatan dishes and other Filipino cuisine. Reservation is a must specially if you travel in groups. But on my part. I just walked in and wait a little while until there will be an avail seat for me.

2. PHIL'S BREW COFFEE SHOP

Calling all coffee lovers out there. This is place you must not miss during your travel. Very relaxing ambiance and yes, ang sarap ng kape nila. Brewed Coffee perfectly paired with Tres Leches.  

3.OCTAGON BED AND DINE

Located at the almost end part of the national road. It offers mostly Filipino dishes with reasonable prices ranging from 200-450 per meal. You can dine inside and enjoy the unique interior designs of the restaurant or you may choose to dine outside and embrace the view of the sea and landscape of Basco.
