Big news for foodies in Metro Manila — iconic New York steakhouse, Smith & Wollensky, is expanding in Manila, Philippines soon! Santos Knight Frank, the leading real estate company in the Philippines, made this exciting expansion possible. Known for its world-class steaks, elegant dining, and its famous cameo in The Devil Wears Prada, this famous steakhouse is set to open its doors in the heart of Bonifacio Global City (BGC). Santos Knight Frank proudly facilitated the leasing of the brand’s first-ever branch in the country.
What is Smith & Wollensky?
Founded in 1977 in New York City, Smith & Wollensky established itself as a premier destination for those seeking the finest steaks. The restaurant prides itself on its signature USDA Prime grade steaks. Skilled butchers carefully hand-cut each piece of beef in-house. They then dry-age the beef to perfection, a time-consuming and expensive process that delivers unparalleled tenderness and flavor. With branches in major cities like Miami, Las Vegas, and London, it’s long been a favorite among celebrities, business executives, and food connoisseurs.
Cooking soon at The Finance Center, BGC?
The first Smith & Wollensky will soon open its doors at The Finance Center, a Premium Grade A building in Bonifacio Global City. According to S&W’s website – their first branch here is set to feature a full dining restaurant with private dining rooms suitable for groups of up to 50 people. They will serve a full and late-night menu along with artisanal cocktails, spirit and fine wines, set against a backdrop of sophisticated live jazz music.
Global to Local
Smith & Wollensky recently joined the growing list of global brands entering the country. Other global heavyweights that have already entered the market include Tim Ho Wan (Michelin-starred dim sum restaurant), Gordon Ramsay’s Bar & Grill at Newport World Resorts, and Morton’s the Steakhouse. The Philippines continues to draw the attention of global brands. This is thanks to strong economic growth, rising income levels, and expanding consumer base. With strategic positioning in Southeast Asia and proactive government support for investments, the country offers a vibrant, fast-growing market for global expansion.
