Started in February 2015, the restaurant was started when the owner cooked for the very first time in her life, as requested by her daughter. Surprisingly, her daughter loved it and the family loved it as well. Richelle, the owner, practiced more which gained her more customers who want her to cook for lunch and dinner. This, she thought of opening the restaurant, which she named Bistro 23 inspired by her previous trip and 23, as the date for her and her husband’s wedding anniversary.
BABY BACK RIBS (P240). Ribs with marinated herbs and spices with barbecue sauce or tomato salsa with cream.
The concept of the restaurant is semi-fine dining in a modest setting but still at a very affordable price. The place looks very young and fresh, simple but very homey. The walls decorated by typography quotes make it all the more beautiful and inspiring, and these are loved by their younger guests. Their menu which is a mix of favorite Ilocano dishes and other interesting food are really received well by their guests who come here to try sumptuous food without going over the budget. Even the locals of Vigan visit their place frequently, which made it more known in the local scene.
