Make sure to try any of these steakhouses whenever you have that particular craving, or else it would be a huge missed steak.
Why is Fat Jim’s not on this list?
La Carne Premium Meat is great if you want a wide variety of Steaks in terms of Marbling grade, meat origin, meat knowledge and steak experience.
You left out Fat Jim’s Steakhouse, simply the best with the other 5, while Luzern’s hide their meat under gravy, too much fat there.
Luzern Steakhouse and Acacia Steakhouse are the best in this list
Marble and Grain is the most overrated steak house in Cebu. Tinderbox, Seda Hotel, even fat Jim’s in mandaue are better.
Of all these restaurants, who has the most soft tender beef out there with the best marbling?
My wife and I want a good steak, still haven’t found one yet worth the repeat business.
Thanks for your help
