da Figura Cafe — Restaurant in Sabtang

This is the place to try Batanes special food which is typically served during large gatherings such as weddings and festivals.

We had for dinner the traditional Ivatan meal wrapped in large leaves and served with soothing soup and lemon juice. For dessert, special halohalo was indeed special for its home-made smooth ice cream with balanced flavors.

For breakfast, Uvud lumpia with garlic rice and fried egg is also good to my palate. Perfect with a cup of brewed coffee at the side for a filling breakfast.

Other details: family owned cafe/inn; one of the owner is very kind and also explained how the traditional food set is made; closes at 8PM; walking distance fromSabtang port
