Lobby Cafe

The Awesome Hotel might be a hotel along the San Juan, but its culinary offerings certainly pack quite the punch. When we mean punch, we’re referring to their own Lobby Cafe.

In addition, their wide pastry array has options that are sugar-free and friendly for vegetarians.

Little Canggu

Secondly, Little Canggu is among La Union’s most well-loved eateries. Elyucanos have flocked to Little Canggu since its inception because of its amazing ambiance and the experience of Little Canggu.

Little Canggu takes you on a palate and visual and sensory experience to Bali, Indonesia, with its authentic Indonesian food. When you step into their space, Little Canggu brings you a quaint, cozy, and homey vibe reminiscent of Canggu, Indonesia - a locale known for its surfing experience. Try out their much-loved Nasi Goreng (fried rice with stir-fried veggies done with a Pinoy twist), Canggu Specials like the Bebek Goreng (crispy fried duck with rice), and Bagnet Guling (Ilocano bagnet with garlic kangkong and pickled bamboo shoots), and the mouthwatering Beef Rendang (slow-cooked beef, rendang sauce, potatoes, and pickled bamboo shoots).

They have another in-house cafe if you want a cool drink or caffeine. Their in-house cafe, Little Cat Coffee, is another wonderful La Union mainstay.

Little Canggu is open from 9:30 AM-8 PM, from Thursday to Tuesday.
