The Old World: The Historic Camalig Restaurant


The Old World: The Historic Camalig Restaurant

In 2001, a friend introduced me to a place called Camalig. I was in Angeles City, Pampanga for a visit and since he knew that I am a sucker for history and culture, he figured he had to bring me there.

I fell in love with the place. I couldn't get enough of it.




Now called The Historic Camalig Restaurant, I visited it again after a decade. Located at 292 Sto. Rosario Street, Angeles City, Pampanga, Camalig is a 150-year old architecture of wood and stone sorrounded by photographs and relics of the old world. Philippine history, culture, and cuisine, all in a magical place that would bring the past back to life.

You can actually give historians a break.
The place, and what’s in it tells you everything you need to know.
