The Tatler Dining Guide Philippines
Via Mare
WHY GO
Via Mare has been serving home-cooked Filipino comfort food goodness for more than four decades—truly an institution like no other. The dishes are all very familiar to the Filipino palate, so you’ll just have to pick your favourites.
TATLER TIPS
What’s a meal at Via Mare without trying the staple? Start or end with the bibingka with Laguna cheese and salted duck egg. For bigger groups, the tender crispy pata is a good choice. The crispy skin combined with the tender meat make for great texture, and the serving size does not disappoint. If seafood is what you’re after, have the pinalutong na tilapia cooked to a golden crisp and seasoned to perfection.
