The legend began way back in 1977 when the premier hotel showcasing Filipino artistry featured in ingenious craftsmanship of Philippine cowrie, the most coveted seashell found in the deep waters near Leyte. Remarkably unique, the lavish decor with thousand of rare cowries made the charming features of the restaurant.  Hence, The Cowrie Grill was born.



Offering signature creations of steaks and grilled entrees with gracious classic tableside service, where food is cooked and served right before the guests, the Cowrie Grill promises to be so much like the old times preparing dishes in the highest of standards.  Feast on various dishes like lobster bisque flambe with brandy, the elaborate rendition of the freshly tossed Maitre'D Caesar salad, as well as the restaurant's signature Angus Prime Rib using a Montague steakhouse broiler and a complement of wines from the restaurant's exquisite selection.  To cap off your meal, don't forget the repertoire of desserts, the most favored of them, the Baked Alaska flambe.



Today, patrons of the signature restaurant of the Grand Dame which - opened its door in its new home at the heart of Greenhills in the City of San Juan are introduced to stylish booths at the Cowrie Grill offering privacy of diners making it the perfect venue for intimate occasions.
