In a special one-night only affair, Manila's discerning gourmands and gastronomes enjoyed a night of extraordinary Argentinian food, wine, and culture.
On Christmas Eve last year, La Cabrera took over the location of the iconic Paparazzi restaurant in EDSA Shangri-La Manila. When it opened the doors of its second branch, diners were welcomed to a posh bar filled with top shelf wines, liquors, and spirits. The bar leads to the main atrium of the restaurant, adorned with trinkets and decors evoking a homey vibe. In contrast to Parrilla La Cabrera in Argentina, its Filipino iterations are elegantly designed and give a first-class fine dining treatment to its straightforward Argentinian fare.
Parrilla La Cabrera has consistently made it to Latin America's Best Restaurants in the recent years. With no frou-frou Argentinian steaks distinctively grilled La Cabrera-style (using only the heat emitting from the enormous oven at the side with only charcoal and fire) and paired with a good selection of wines ranging from the Calchaquíes Valleys in the North to the provinces of Mendoza, San Juan and La Rioja, all the way down to Patagonia—indeed it is one of the best in the region and among other parrillas.
