Morton’s The Steakhouse to open in BGC in November

MANILA, Philippines – Morton’s The Steakhouse from the US is bringing “The Best Steak… Anywhere!” to the Philippines on November 25, at Uptown East Gate, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City. 

The Bistro Group will bring the award-winning steakhouse to Manila. It is behind Denny’s, Texas Roadhouse, Hard Rock Café, Buffalo Wild Wings, Modern Shanghai, Fish & Co, Italiannis, TGIFridays, and Randy’s Donuts.

The Bistro Group said its partnership with Landry’s Incorporated — one of the world’s largest owner-operator of high-end steakhouses — was signed a couple of years ago, because of Morton’s “best quality and consistently good food from source to plate, genuine hospitality, and a solid reputation for over four decades.”

News of Morton’s opening in Makati City and Bonifacio Global City had already been circulating as early as 2022.

Morton’s is known for its USDA prime-aged steaks, seafood, and extensive wine selection from around the world. Its wine collection of over 300 bottles has earned multiple accolades, such as the prestigious Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

Founded in Chicago in 1978, the US-based steakhouse began with hamburgers when Klaus Fritsch cooked one for co-founder Arnie Morton to try. The chain now has 60 locations worldwide.

Morton’s BGC location will be its second branch in Southeast Asia, after Singapore. It can also be found in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Tokyo. – with reports from Rev Dela Cruz/Rappler.com
