Sear Steak Scullery – Banawe
From the team that brought us Red Baron Ribs, Sear Steak Scullery is a Western-themed restaurant with Asian influences. It’s for those who want a semi-fine dining experience minus the huge spending. It’s not for light eaters. We definitely recommend their stone-grilled steak, kare-kare and crazy milkshakes.
