Satya Graha Cafe and Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Baños

My partner and I were visiting family in Philippines (his first time and I live overseas), and we were after some vegetarian food which was quite hard to do as Philippines is a predominantly meat eating country. We tried this place out after a lot of googling and some recommendations from family in the area; it was one of the best places for food I’ve ever gone to ! The vegan liempo was so flavorful and crispy, the pickled papaya was so yummy and fresh, the sizzling tofu was amazing and the vegan chicharron chips were phenomenal!! It was so heartwarming to be able to share classic Filipino cuisines to my partner who has been vegetarian pretty much his whole life and who I thought would never be able to appreciate Filipino dishes !!

6 May 2023, around 1230. Al fresco dining is good. I had the fried "chicken." The food looks and feels like its meat counterpart, but not the taste (at least that's what i think). They also have a stand full of dried goods sold at very reasonable prices (i bought a 100-gram pack of dried shitake at only 100 PhP). It is situated just behind the Lopez Elementary school, but the alley may not br suitable for huge vrhicles. Also, parking is a bit limited since there are other establishments. The value for money is great. Will i come back? Yes, if the opportunity...
