Kevin, yes, some of our local restaurants charge a lot for what they offer. Several folks or restaurants serve wet aged steaks. But I have yet to find someone with dry aged steaks on offer…

Marketman, i just came from new york 3 weeks ago. and you are right, prices in new york fine dining (jean georges, delmonico’s, babbo, etc) are comparable to the prices here. sometimes, its even a rip off here in manila. I was fortunate enough to have joined the new york summer restaurant week. it was a blast! great food for a bargain. hopefully, we can have something like that in manila. lastly, would you know anyone here in manila selling aged steak? thanks.

I’ve been to an 8-day trip to NY recently and due to business have not had time to get my daily marketmanila fix. i weep at the fact that i have not had a chance to try this place while I was there…:(

Hi Everyone. My sister just emailed me to correct the amount paid for dinner at P. Luger; it was $280, not $180, so the average cost was $56…that’s more like it. Sorry for the inaccuracy, I have changed the post above. jafores and Alicia are right, figure on $50 per person, before wine, if any… Thanks!

I tried to get a peter luger card but if you dont have a SS number, no dice.. I remember the steak for 2 was $75 (best to order in this denomination, as the larger steaks although cheaper has less of the tenderloin potion of the porterhouse) and appetizers around $11, think $50/head without wine would be good. please dont forget the desserts!

Ratacutie, It should be fine to bring your 1 year old. While I wouldn’t exactly qualify Peter Luger as a “child friendly” restaurant, its not formal enough to not welcome kids. I may suggest you go for lunch because with the business crowd in the evening it can get a bit loud and rowdy. For planning purposes I would use $50/head, give or take a few dollars. I would rather you think you are spending more and come out spending less than the other way around.

For everyone else, if I may so bold as to make a recommendation for those of you planning a trip to Hong Kong and wanting excellent steak, try out THE STEAKHOUSE in the Intercon, former Regent hotel. Its just great and am sure the MM readers will enjoy it. They let you choose your steak knife from a selection of 12 knives (French, American, Japanese). They also have 14 different salts they bring to your table and about 12 kinds of mustard. But let me say the restaurant is more than just these “gimmicks” . The steak is really good!

Megamom, you are right. They only accept cash OR their own PETER LUGER charge card. If you go there once a year or more and want to order their stuff on-line, it is good to have their in-house card. Not sure if it entitles you to a discount as well. But yes, I think they are behind the times on that one…they need to take credit cards!

My only beef (pun intended) with Luger is that they only accept cash. (or has that changed, MM?) First time visitors ought to know that when they go.

The Steak Lady, sorry, I don’t know if Morton’s dry ages its steaks. Please put your contact details on the next post asking readers to post their food business numbers…I want to make sure readers can buy your meats this holiday season! jafores, I think we only ordered two porterhouses for 5 people (including the Kid). It was just right, but no leftovers. I was a bit surprised by the prices too…I would have guessed closer to $50 if we were really hungry! :) dizzy, a good steak is sublime…a bad one is forgettable.
