lomo ribs (half salb)
Canto Bogchi Joint or famously known simply as "Canto" is located at 25 Kisad road, Baguio City. If we look at Google Maps, the joint is near the intersection of Kissad road, Jose Abad Santos Drive, and M.H. Del Pilar street. For landmark references, it is just pretty much at the border of the Burnham area beside the Baguio City public library and the Burnham park office.

The place is elevated so its quite easy to spot if you are in the vicinity. They have a number of parking spaces in front but don't be fooled as most of the time its full especially on lunch and dinner times. As a matter of fact, we arrived early dinner at that time and we were put in a queue for the next available parking slot (just like what happened last year).

As per my observation, most people who go and check the place are really willing to wait even though there are other options nearby.. It seems they really intended the place which says something great about this joint. If you are blessed enough, you won't find another queue before going inside the establishment and being assisted to a table which usually happens (near yet so far, lol).
I find the ambiance of the place very simple. I like the high ceiling part of the place since the other half of the dining area is elevated and I also like how transparent the establishment is.. It makes the joint feel more spacious even in a full house.
Inside Canto
They actually serve a variety of food here.. But of course, their ribs are still the most recommendable item to date (especially for the first-timer). In reference to the first photo, that half slab is worth P310 which is already a generous amount of serving for one person - a reasonable price compared to the norm. What stands out about it is its texture and taste. Everything is superb from its tenderness, color, and up to its temperature. The meat slides through the bones and there is no part that is not delicious (lol). Are you hungry now? Haha!
I captured their menu and I hope this helps you have a great experience when you get to visit them soon.
