Calle Brewery

Top choice in Vigan


This home-grown craft brewery doubles as Vigan's best restaurant. It's a smokehouse – pick your meat and a couple of sides, and wash it down with home brew. The food is terrific value, even paying up for 'premium' meat (recommended). There's also a wine and tapas bar – pre-order 12-course Ilocano dégustation sets (per person P1800).

Tour of the brewery in this century-and-a-half-old house available for P150 per person, including a flight.
