Thanks to\u00a0Z\u00e9lie,\u00a0<\/strong>the tourists of Banaue have been gifted with a taste of delicious European cuisine. Z\u00e9lie\u00a0is\u00a0a talented French native who fell in love with the Ifugao community and now runs Le Bistro with her Ifugao husband, Samuel.<\/p>\n

Le Bistro, which started its operations in 2016, is now the best place to\u00a0cool down with your friends after a rigorous trek to the\u00a0rice terraces.\u00a0Tourists\u00a0on their way down from Batad may make a quick stop-over at Le Bistro for a well-deserved hearty dinner.<\/p>\n

Among their best-sellers is their V\u00e9g\u00e9tarien Spaghetti (Php 190)\u00a0<\/strong>with rich tomato sauce, eggplant, pepper, and onions, making it a well-balanced pasta ensemble.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These are\u00a0best paired with their collection of pizzas, one of which is their thin-crust\u00a0Campione Pizza (Php 260)<\/b>, with tomato sauce, ground beef, mushroom, and cheese.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Contrary to what some may believe, pasta and pizzas are not the only must-tries on their menu. Tapas, tomato salad, Filipino sizzling dishes of chicken and shrimp, as well as desserts like Banana Flambee and crepes from sugar and chocolate to honey, can be found inside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
