The Tatler Dining Guide Philippines
Oyster Bar by Via Mare
WHY GO
Absolutely the go-to place for that Philippine oyster fix at a very reasonable price.
TATLER TIPS
Get a table on the second floor for a more intimate ambience. Raw oysters on the half shell are served well-chilled and fresh with just the right level of salinity. Perk it up with a squeeze of fresh lemon followed by a dollop of cocktail sauce laced with hot sauce. Slurp the meat slowly along with its “liquor” and be prepared to experience goodness in its purest form. Oysters are best washed down with a mug of ice cold beer, a glass of chilled champagne, or very cold straight-up vodka.
