Delectable appetizers, sumptuous steaks, and intense carnivorous cravings ahead!
Steaks are some sort of a religion in the food industry. You can also think of it as one of the pillars of a good restaurant. A good steak should be cooked to medium rare perfection, but some people are just iffy about the whole bloody situation so they often go with the medium-well. But please, give the cow some justice by not having your steak well done.
Melo’s started out back in 1987 and was the first restaurant in the Philippines to offer Certified Angus Beef. Owner Carmelo Santiago had a vision for his restaurant: to give customers nothing but the best kind of experience on every visit. Fast forward to today, Melo’s now has three branches spread across the metro in Alabang, BGC, and Quezon City.
This homegrown restaurant sources its meat from an exclusive supplier and is the only restaurant in Manila that has a steak cart so customers themselves can customize and select the perfect steak for their meals. Choose between angus beef and wagyu steak. Angus beef is a Scottish breed of cattle; while wagyu is a kind of meat that’s classified into different quality grades based on its fat marbling.
If you’re looking for more options, Melo’s also serves an array of pastas and seafood. In this list we checked out 10 of their best menu items for you to try on your first or next visit.
