Manila’s steakhouses may come from different generations but there’s a certain quality that makes them all great in their own right Manila has no shortage of steakhouses. But an unsurprising observation about steak dine-out culture here is that it’s more often than not reserved for special occasions. The reason can be generally attributed to the cost of certain cuts of meat (from A5 Kobe beef and wagyu to tenderloin and New York strip).
That said, when did price ever stop people from sincerely appreciating a special product if we can truly embrace the value it gives? After all, the idea of sharing steak is globally synonymous with celebrations—moments that not only enrich experiences but also continue to elevate food culture and experience. And with Father’s Day coming up, there’s no better time to take your old man to any of these steakhouse institutions.
