Simon Viewpoint Inn and Restaurant |
Food at Simon's Inn |
Simon Viewpoint Inn and
Restaurant, one of the biggest in Batad, is basically a backpacker
accommodation, with large rooms with multiple beds and shared bathrooms., From
its concrete, railing-less view deck, one can get a breathtaking amphitheater vista
of the Batad
Rice Terraces. The inn can accommodate around 50 guest at a time.
The inn also has a pair of
seemingly authentic rectangular and nailless one-room bale huts at
the back. Used for cooking and sleeping, the huts are built on four
sturdy amugawan tree trunk posts, 2-3 m. from the ground, to keep the
vermin out.
Access to the hut is through
a steep, removable bamboo or wooden ladder. The hut also has outward
slanting waist or chest-high walls, two doors, a wooden plank floor and no
windows. The steep, pyramidal, reed and grass-thatched roof conceals the
walls.
The inn's restaurant also
serves good food (pizza, pita bread, highland rice, veggies, fries, etc.) and
wine (native rice wine called tappuy).
Simon Viewpoint Inn and
Restaurant: Brgy. Batad, Banaue, Ifugao. Mobile number: (0919) 261-9566
