LA CARNE
The busy street locals simply call Banilad is where you’ll find 88th Avenue. Several dining options are lined along this strip, but if the delicious and savory aroma of meat being cooked entices you, go right past everything else and head straight to our third restaurant ecommendation, La Carne.

While not strictly a restaurant, La Carne nevertheless elevates the Cebuano steak enthusiast’s taste by providing access to premium meats and introducing an inventive one-menu concept. Customers pay a fixed rate of P399 as cooking fee for their meat of choice ordered from the display. The price includes their locally sourced seasonal salad, mashed potatoes or garlic rice and some grilled local veggies. La Carne may not have the full dine-in menu, but there are other meat options to order: a selection of steaks, sausages, burgers, short ribs or brisket.
An artisanal butchery, La Carne’s premium cuts of beef and lamb come from reputable producers in Australia, U.S. and Japan. Meat provenance is a highly coveted label, and La Carne has it in spades, being proud licensed retailers of true Aussie beef, lamb and certified Angus beef. The meat at La Carne is prepared with care and full transparency and they welcome any and all questions you have on meat.
This no-frills outlet is manned by experienced butchers and servers who honed their craft abroad. We highly recommend eating there to experience how premium steaks are perfectly cooked — charred on the outside, juicy on the inside.
