Cru Steakhouse, Pasay – Award-Winning Grill at Marriott Hotel Manila

Cru Steakhouse, the signature restaurant at Manila Marriott Hotel in Pasay, has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for its focused, high-quality grill cuisine. Located within Newport World Resorts, it offers a sophisticated escape for steaks that are hand-cut and cooked with precision.

The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Meik Brammer, whose 27-year career has taken him from Switzerland and Egypt to Kuwait, Shanghai, and Thailand before he took the helm at Marriott Hotel Manila in 2010. His team works from an open kitchen, where the modern, elegant dining room allows guests to watch as the prime cuts hit the grill.

The menu centers on US Certified Angus Beef Prime, with cuts available from 250g to 350g. The standout 900g Prime Rib, served with five sides and two sauces, is a celebration of quality beef in the heart of Manila. For those seeking something deeper, the OMI Wagyu (A-5) Striploin Steak and the Tajima Tomahawk MB5 (1,500g) are substantial options. The menu also extends beyond beef: from an Asin Tibuok Cured Atlantic Salmon starter to a Pan Seared Barramundi main, and desserts that include a Japanese-Spanish style Burnt Caramel Cheesecake. A set menu pairs an appetizer, soup, wine, and dessert with the steak of your choice.

Guests return for the consistency—cooking a steak medium rare and delivering exactly that. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, suited for both a serious steak dinner and a special occasion.
