    Conveniently located along the entrance of Calle Crisologo, near the Plaza. I love the heritage house ambiance of this restaurant, as well as the outdoor seating. There's usually a queue since many tourists eat here but the wait is worth it. Food is great! I love the Vigan Express we ordered. Their selections are fairly priced, generous serving, and taste really good. A must-try restaurant when you're in Vigan. Will definitely eat here again and try more dishes.

    This cafe is conveniently located along the entrance of Calle Crisologo. When we got here, it’s like we travelled back to 1800’s as this place is preserved and it is one of the oldest houses in Vigan. We tried their Poque-poque and Cafe Leona Native Special which consists of Bangus, Longganisa, Bagnet, Pinakbet and Rice. One of their staff said that their Native Special is good for one but it can actually be shared by two persons, just order additional rice. Their selections are fairly priced and they serve these generously. Overall, we enjoyed our delicious foods. We would love to visit here again and try their other foods.

    Once you enter here in Cafe Leona. Get ready for time travel to year 1884. Place is preserve, food is delicious, amazing people. One of the oldest house here in Vigan. A must visit here.

    The venue may look old, but it adds to the charm and experience. The food is great, with a surprisingly wide variety to choose from. Service is fast and polite, and prices are very reasonable. No wonder the queues never end!

    During peak seasons, expect a very very long cue. But the food is really worth it. Cafe Leona is an icon in Vigan City. Its a must try for first timers in the city. Dont miss it.

    The restaurant offers Filipino food. It wasn't busy on a weekday. Servers were accommodating and shared jokes with guests. The price range is a bit high but that's because serving is good for 2-3 people.

    Food is great. Good sashimi. Sisig is nice. Longganisa pizza is so-so. Place is cozy and quiet on certain hours. Some staff are friendly, some are not so friendly. Anyhow, I would go back again.

    Cafe Leona is a must place to dine whenever you are in Vigan. Due to its popularity, expect a long queue in their guest list and long waiting time before your food is served. It really tastes good though. Please be patient with the staff handling your orders and preparing your food.

    Your Ilocos experience is not complete without dining at this famous restaurant located just a few walks going to Calle Crisologo. This restaurant serves not only ilocano cuisine but they serve a fusion of Japanese, Italian and other filipino favourites. They have al fresco dining at night when the weather is cooler. This place is named after the famous ilocano poet, Leona Florentino. It has preserved its original structure, no major alterations has been made. This is another famous favourites among tourists and and locals. If you plan on visiting the restaurant, be conscious of the peak hours where customers has to wait for tables. Good food.

    I love the shrimp siningang even my 4 yrs old kid finished the whole bowl of sinigang. And the pizza is very tasty too and the mango shake is verygood. Wish they have more dessert. Definitely coming back here next visit to Vigan city

    Food is great, recommend the sisig bagnet 🤤 Service is a little slow during peak hours (lunch and dinner) 🤔 Their coffee hits like a sledgehammer 😁😻🤩

    The food is delicious, the ambiance is good, and the serving is great. Fair enough with its prize. It is recommended for those who eat a lot. However, their serving is a bit slow, maybe because it's dinner time and the volume of guests is high.

    Located right at the end of Calle Crisologo where the Catholic church is and where a statue of Leona Florentino is located is Cafe Leona which is housed in a well-preserved structure. They serve traditional and modern ilocano dishes here. It's a good place to eat at but just expensive. I like that location a lot

    WORST restaurant we Ate here in Ilocos Sur. Waiters are discortious, the food are so expensive yet it's not totally worth it. I ordered miso ramen and the order I got is Mami the pizza waiting time is long but the order served is cold. We waited like 30 mins for the order and they will tell us the order is not available. We have many orders and only rice and pancit where served Totally not worth it, I will not recommend to eat here and We Will NEVER EVER comeback here

    Great place for your Vigan Favorites, bagnet, longanisa etc. it has an extensive menu. They even have Sinigang Malaga, which is a fish that thrives near rivers as it exits to the sea. Staff was very accommodating .Overall good experience. We were so hungry only managed photo of the outside. Very reasonable prices. This was early August 2023.
