11/6/2019 Best Steak in Manila
CONNECT WITH US
A delicious steak is easy enough to define. The starting point is the the beef. It
has to be good—the best if you can get it—and salted just enough to highlight
its natural flavor, but not so much that people think you're hiding bad meat
under the disguise of seasoning.
Some people like Angus, some opt for Wagyu, some love ribeye, some lean
toward filet. We all have different preferences, so this list is not arranged; we're
letting you rank it to your own tastes. We've narrowed the options down to
steakhouses, so if you're looking for restaurants with a great steak course on the
menu, like Stockton, La Spezia or Bistro Manuel, or a Japanese specialty
steakhouse like Miyazaki Gyu, those are delicious stories for another day.

This Solaire eatery had the tough challenge of converting itself from an Italian
restaurant into one of the finer steakhouses in the city. To fully realize the
transformation, it brought in the world's top beef brands, like USDA Omaha
Angus Beef, Snake River Wagyu Beef, Australian Blackmore Wagyu, and more.
It's value-for-money, too. The cuts are enormous and good enough to share, for
those who aren't voracious carnivores.

steaks, but that's only a draw. The folks behind Stoned Steaks are serious about
offering top-quality beef in the city and they hook you in with an even more

to cross the threshold. It even has a special German-made box to properly dry-
age the meats. The steaks are stored right in the middle of the restaurant on a
well-deserved pedestal.

Hai Chix's combination of steak and Hainanese chicken may seem unusual, but
good food is easy enough to understand and this odd fusion doesn't confuse.
The original Ortigas Home Depot was the type of hole-in-the-wall-ish situation
that foodies love to sniff out. Despite its no-frills venue, the steaks are superb,
juicy, perfectly tender, and so good. When you're at Hai Chix, consider yourself
lucky to have not only stumbled into one of the best steaks in Manila but also

The real Texas Roadhouse opened in the Philippines in 2016. The global chain,
founded by Kent Taylor in 1993, is famous for its big, burly steaks and in-house
baked bread. Though it appears to be the usual family joint, Texas Roadhouse
adheres to pretty strict standards when it comes to steak. All the beef is hand-
carried into the country and everything is timed to make sure that it's aged only
between 21 to 48 days (never chilled). It's also hand-cut by a craftmaster who
ensures that each piece has proper marbling proportions.
