"Southeast Asia's first Smith & Wollensky — in-house dry-aged USDA Prime steaks and a colossal seafood tower in BGC, Manila."
About Smith & Wollensky
Smith & Wollensky has poured steaks in New York since 1977, and in 2025 it opened its first Southeast Asia location at The Finance Centre in Bonifacio Global City, Manila. The room blends the group's clubby American steakhouse signatures with a few local touches built for the city.
This is a classic steakhouse: beef dry-aged in house, big-format shellfish and a serious wine list. The Manila menu adds bone marrow, Spanish and foie gras rice dishes alongside the imported cuts.
The Kitchen
Beef is the headline — hand-cut USDA Prime steaks dry-aged in house, from the bone-in rib-eye to the filet, alongside a colossal seafood tower of oysters, shrimp and shellfish. The Philippine menu adds signature rice dishes: bone marrow rice, Spanish rice and foie gras rice.
Pricing is destination-level: dry-aged steaks run roughly ₱2,500 to ₱5,500, and a full dinner for two with wine runs well over ₱8,000. The award-winning wine program is built to match the beef.
The Room
The dining room carries the brand's look — dark wood, white tablecloths and a clubby, see-and-be-seen polish — with views over Bonifacio Global City. It is built for long, celebratory dinners and corporate entertaining rather than a quick bite.
The BGC address puts it at the centre of Manila's business district, easy for after-work dinners and client lunches. Booking ahead is wise, particularly for prime evenings and larger groups.
Best for Impressing Clients
The dry-aged beef, the wine list and the clubby room make Smith & Wollensky a confident choice to impress clients or anchor a business lunch in BGC. The celebratory polish also suits a milestone anniversary.
Not for
Not for vegetarians or anyone after a light, low-cost meal — this is a clubby American steakhouse built around dry-aged beef and big-ticket seafood towers.
