Delectable appetizers, sumptuous steaks, and intense carnivorous cravings ahead!<\/p>\n

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<\/strong> should be cooked to medium rare<\/strong> 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.<\/del><\/p>\n

\"Melo's<\/a><\/h2>\n

Melo’s started out back in 1987 and was the first restaurant in the Philippines to offer Certified Angus Beef<\/strong>. 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<\/strong> branches<\/strong> spread across the metro in Alabang, BGC, and Quezon City.<\/p>\n

This homegrown restaurant sources its meat from an exclusive supplier and is the only restaurant in Manila that has a steak cart<\/strong> so customers themselves can customize and select the perfect steak for their meals. Choose between angus beef and wagyu steak<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for more options, Melo’s also serves an array of pastas<\/strong> and seafood<\/strong>. In this list we checked out 10 of their best menu items for you to try on your first or next visit.<\/p>\n
