Myron’s Place at Greenbelt 5
There are just a few places that stick to my mind when I think of steak - Alfredo’s (but I no longer remember the last time I was there), Larry’s Bar (which no longer serves Filet Mignon), and Steaktown in Shangri-La Mall (salad buffet - yummy!). One in particular caught my fancy when I was strolling along Mall of Asia. It was called Highlands Steakhouse. I did not try it at that time as I knew a meal cost an arm and a leg (about Php1500++). I haven’t gone to any of those places now and the last steak meal that I had left me disappointed.
Its a good thing I was able to make my way into Myron’s Place. The entrance of Myron’s presented a formal entryway into an elegant dining place that had cozy leathered seats and full bar. The dining area seem to stretch endlessly and it was enclosed with floor to ceiling windows that looked out into the Greenbelt gardens. Cool, classy, and ultimately fancy, I was inclined to expect sky-high prices had I not read about it in Lori’s and Anton’s blog. My friends too were hesitant but I quickly reassured them that the place was actually affordable.
We opened the menus all at the same time and I could swear we all gasped at the same time. It was not because we saw something ghastly or was shocked by the design of the menu, we were in fact surprised that the prices we were seeing were not as expensive as we had prepared ourselves to see. We got all excited and wanted to order everything on the list. Hehe. In the end, two of us ordered the Bianca’s Cut Rib Eye, while the others ordered kebabs and pasta with bleu cheese.
I was asked by the server to walk with her to where the huge mound of beef was presented to me in a gold-plated chafing dish. I said “wow that’s what you call beef”. She then explained to me how thick my Bianca’s cut would be and I was again surprised. I was expecting more of a thinner slice but I got a huge chunk all to myself.
While waiting for our orders we were served chocolate bread with some creamed butter which disappeared almost immediately, ate some calamari fritti and shared a plate of Mesclun salad with sea scallops and raspberry vinaigrette.
Everything was so good that I thought I would no longer be able to finish my steak as I was so full already.
Bianca’s Cut at Php800
The steak came with three different sauces: mushroom, peppercorn and red wine concoction. I chose the one made out of red wine as it blended really well with the beef. The (again) surprisingly thick chunk of meat was served with some mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. I sliced through the meat cleanly and smoothly to get my first bite. Uhhmmm. Tasty, flavorful, and oh so tender. I’m spoiled for life. No other rib eye (except maybe Wagyu) will ever taste as good as what I had at Myron’s. It tasted soo good and felt so soft in the mouth that I did not realize I had just finished 250 grams of US Certified Angus beef.
Oooh I am definitely in cattle heaven.
I am definitely going back to this place and I am pretty sure that dining in the evening will be an even better experience.

There is a Myron’s at Rockwell Powerplant mall and my wife says that the prices are exorbitant. I guess the price tolerance is very subjective from one person to another so can you give me a price range of how much would it cost for a usual meal there? My wife said something around 700 pesos per head.
ciao!
Erin - I would say 500 to 800 per head depending on what you will be ordering. If you go there for the ribs and steaks, expect to pay around 600++. Rib Eye starts at 800, pasta is less than 300, seafood of course are slightly higher starting at least at 500, and the ribs are around 500 too. Its a nice place to dine at if you are willing to spend but you could frequent it if you choose the cheaper dishes on the menu.
Thanks for the nice comments. We always try to do our best.
Erin, please help explain. Exorbitant? Compared to what? Please help me understand this better.
Ciao!
Ramon - I had a lovely experience eating at Myron’s. I hope the place keeps itself affordable as it is right now.
that Bianca’s cut rib eye looks so good.. how much was it?? I would deifintely go to Myron’s, do you think the rockwell place is ok also?
sugar - Bianca’s cut is priced at Php800. I have not been to Rockwell so I am not sure if that is ok but I can tell you that the Rockwell branch is not as elegant as the one in GB5.
@apple - does that already include the drinks (bottomless iced tea, a can of coke, etc.)?
@ramon - the expensiveness of a place will really depend on the person footing the bill. i usually set the limit to “fine” dining to 500 per head (all inclusive). for non-fastfood dining out, 300-350 is my limit.
ciao!
Erin - No it does not. Sorry I usually do not consider drinks unless I order something really special or unique to the place.
Love your photo of that steak. It look so rich and delicious that it’s making me hungry! Yum!
Tom - Welcome to my food blog! Thanks for the compliment. It’s one of my best pics. Im still learning so I am hoping to produce more mouthwatering pictures. Cheers!
