CRU Steakhouse is a fine-dining restaurant located inside Marriott Hotel Manila‘s Great Room area.

After a casual welcoming remarks, we started with  Stuffed Chicken Wing Chestnut Cream with glazed duck jus, Palawan honey sauce, celery twirl.

And of course, the highlight of our meal were the premium steaks – tender-juicy Portoro Steak (Grass-fed) Rib Eye and Omi Wagyu (A-5) Striploin Steak. The latter is considered to be one of Japan’s top three wagyu next to Kobe and Matsusaka Beef.

Another unforgettable fare in the launch was the Seared Goose Liver. The foie gras was made even more special with dates herb chutney, chevre milk bread, baked apple swirl, butterscotch soil and maple sauce.
