Our Story

A home opened with love, for the love of food and community

From Café to Home Dining

Before 113 Wagner Café was born, Baguio City knew Techie Maravillas Pantaleon through her beloved café, Everything Nice — a warm gathering spot inside SM Baguio. When the pandemic forced Everything Nice to close, many feared that chapter was over.

But Techie had other plans. Encouraged by her seven children, she decided to do something extraordinary: open the family home at 113 Wagner Road for guests. What had always been a private sanctuary full of warmth and good food would now be shared with the world — one reservation at a time.

The transformation was a true collaboration. Techie brought in Chef Rudolph Cabuay, her former professor at the International School for Culinary Arts, to develop the menus. Francis "Kiko" Villalba — an interior landscape artist — designed the lush garden spaces that surround the dining areas, creating an atmosphere unlike any restaurant in Baguio.

The 113 Wagner Philosophy

Everything we do is shaped by three core convictions — the same ones that drove Techie to open her home to strangers who would soon become friends.

Hospitality as Heritage

Hosting is not a transaction here. Every guest is welcomed into a home — with the same warmth, generosity, and care one would offer to family.

Food Made with Intention

Our menus are carefully curated — never rushed, never generic. Each dish is prepared with quality ingredients and conscientious technique to honour your palate.

The Garden as Experience

The lush, pine-scented surroundings are not a backdrop — they are part of the meal. Dining outdoors at 113 Wagner is an experience for every sense.
