Cru Steakhouse
WHY GO
In Manila’s hyper competitive steakhouse market, Cru is among those that stand above the rest. The quality of meats, grilling methods, and service are why customers, both local and foreign guests, keep returning to this venerable steakhouse.
TATLER TIPS
• The appetisers range from crab cakes to seared yellow fin tuna and seared goose liver. To get a taste of everything, best to order the Cru Appetiser Sampler, which is perfect for sharing. Salad lovers should not miss the Cru Caesar!
• For steak, the US Angus prime rib-eye, which comes in three cuts, is strongly recommended. Those seeking more marbling should order the Australian Mulwarra Wagyu, which is well worth the premium.
• The wine list, while somewhat limited, is well-chosen, focusing mainly on New World varietals.
