Our very first meal in Sagada was at Log Cabin. Thank you, Wikireena and Mr. DJ for making the arrangements. It sure was a nice treat for us after almost 24 hours on the road.
Reservations are a must at Log Cabin. The place is quite small-- I'd say 20 to 25 diners max-- and the French chef apparently doesn't like to stock up on produce and prefers to serve everything fresh. Wikireena pre-ordered some dishes, including tomato soup, but when we arrived we were told that we couldn't have it because of a lack of tomatoes.

Mixed veg. Take note of the squash blossoms. (They'd run out of tomatoes by this time.) |
No, we have not turned into vegetarians. Here's the meat:

Pork chops with more tomatoes. |
Basta, our server said: No tomatoes, no tomato soup.
Log Cabin is an inn/ bar/ restaurant, just a few steps away from Sagada Homestay Inn and Strawberry Café. They have the cutest kitchen. You have to walk through it to get to the rest room, and I like that it's an open book. A very neat and clean open book.

Smells good, too. |
Verdict: There were some hits and a few misses (e.g. the chicken was moist and tasty, but the potatoes were rock-hard) but when in Sagada, one must eat at Log Cabin at least once. I especially liked the vegetables because they were so fresh and natural, the way we NEVER get them in the city. Yez, the tomatoes were fabulous. The ferns were a bit hard to chew, though. Next time, we have to try their Saturday evening buffet.
