The Best Tomahawk Experience at Manila’s Best Steakhouse (according to the Michelin Guide)

Cru Steakhouse has always been our go-to for top-quality steaks, even before its Michelin-Select recognition. đŸ„©âœš For the first time since opening, they’re serving Sunday lunch with the ultimate Tomahawk Steak experience, featuring premium Wagyu and Angus tomahawk cuts. This bone-in ribeye, with its long “axe-style” bone handle, delivers a show-stopping presentation and crave-worthy flavor in every bite.

Here are some tips to make the most of your Tomahawk Sunday Lunch experience at Cru Steakhouse:

TOMAHAWK SUNDAY LUNCH

The Tomahawk steak is grilled to order, so arrive early to get it first!

Watch the tomahawk grilled perfectly over fiređŸ”„, rested, and cooked just the way you like it.

Complimentary bread and butter is served to whet your appetite.

The Tomahawk set includes a soup or salad, and you can order extras to share with the group.

Cru Caesar Salad đŸ„— is perfectly dressed, deconstructed, and topped with crispy croutons and bacon.

The wild mushroom soup 🍄 is so good—you can really taste the rich, natural flavor of the mushrooms.

Ruby Reserve Australian Wagyu Tomahawk MB 6
Php 9,800

We ordered the best tomahawk—it’s 1.2 kg and perfect for sharing with a family of five.

Love how the tomahawk is presented table-side and sliced effortlessly, showcasing its perfect doneness.

đŸ„© Love the thick cut, perfectly seared edges, and pink center—it’s tender, juicy, and full of flavor.

Pair your steak with a full-bodied red wine to elevate its flavor.

Starch sides: Whipped Potatoes, 5 Cheese Baked Macaroni, Black Truffle Risotto,
Vegetables sides: Creamed Spinach, Cauliflower Au Gratin

The family’s favorites are, in order: baked macaroni, truffle risotto, and creamed spinach.

Blue Cheese, Black Peppercorn Sauce, Forest Mushroom Sauce

Honestly, the steak doesn’t need any sauce, but I love the blue cheese for an extra touch of creaminess.

Best to go for the Ruby Reserve Australian Wagyu MB6+ for superior marbling, but there are more affordable options available, such as the Rosedale Ruby Angus MB3+ (Php 7,500) and the Five Founders MB2+ (Php 7,900).

Crusted Chicken Roulade
corn textures, pickled radish, mushroom cream sauce
Php 1,870

This is like a lean chicken steak with a nice sear and mushroom sauce—perfect for variety or for those who prefer a lighter option and want to avoid too much red meat.

Grilled Barramundi Fillet
buttered farm vegetables, tomato chutney and pesto
Php 2,500

There is grilled fish option for your parents or healthy eaters in the group. Masarap din.

Apple Galette
(fresh apple, phyllo pastry sheet, cinnamon sugar, home-made vanilla gelato, tuile leaf, salted caramel sauce)

This dessert is refreshingly good—fruity with a nice crunch, plus creamy gelato to satisfy your cravings.

Death by Chocolate
(maracaibo dark chocolate 65%, salted caramel ganache, raspberry sauce)

This one was dense and not easy to slice, but the chocolate quality was quite good.

Burnt Caramel Cheesecake
(Japanese-spanish style baked cheesecake, caramelized sugar, and fresh berries)

The cheesecake wasn’t too sweet and had a nice cheesy flavor.


FINAL THOUGHTS

Cru Steakhouse delivered the best tomahawk steak experience we’ve had as a family. We love that they’re finally open for Sunday lunch—because enjoying premium steak feels even more special as a daytime celebration. Go for the Ruby Reserve Australian Wagyu Tomahawk MB6+—perfect for sharing, with excellent marbling, deep flavor, and a show-stopping presentation. For sides, get the baked macaroni, truffle risotto, and creamed spinach, add the blue cheese sauce for extra richness, and cap it off with the apple galette for dessert. đŸ„©âœš

Congratulations to the Cru Steakhouse team on their Michelin Selected recognition, and to Chef Erwin Marquez, sous chef, and the entire kitchen team for the successful launch of the new Tomahawk Sunday Lunch experience—well deserved and truly world-class! đŸ„©âœš
