The newest addition to Shangri-La Plaza’s dining scene is all about big steaks and bold flavors. LongHorn Steakhouse, known for its fire-grilled offerings, has officially opened its first Philippine location at the mall’s Streetscape wing.

Brought in by The Bistro Group, LongHorn joins the company’s growing portfolio of international and homegrown restaurant concepts.

“As we pursue our business growth objective of vigorously opening new concepts, we express our enthusiasm over the forthcoming launch of LongHorn Steakhouse this March,” said Jean Paul Manuud, The Bistro Group president.

Manuud said the brand’s focus on quality and consistency made it a strong fit.

“Their unrelenting passion and uncompromising standards when it comes to high-quality steaks and dishes resonate with Bistro’s unparalleled dedication to offering the best to our customers. While some take shortcuts and cut corners, at LongHorn, they do things the right way because that is what great steak deserves and, more important, it’s what their guests deserve,” he added.

The restaurant welcomes guests with outdoor seating and its signature warm, Western ambiance.

The restaurant’s menu includes signature items such as the bone-in Outlaw Ribeye, Flo’s Filet, New York Strip, and Fire-Grilled T-Bone, as well as ribs, grilled salmon, chicken tenders, and salads. Guests can also enjoy cocktails, wine, draft beer, and desserts like the popular Chocolate Stampede.

“We are thrilled to expand our relationship with The Bistro Group through the opening of LongHorn Steakhouse here in the Philippines,” said Brad Smith, president of Darden Franchising.

“We know that Filipinos will love LongHorn’s perfectly seasoned and expertly grilled steaks paired with delicious sides and refreshing beverages,” Smith continued.

Founded in 1981 in Atlanta, Georgia, LongHorn Steakhouse now operates more than 590 locations worldwide and is headquartered in Orlando, Florida. The Shangri-La Plaza branch is pet-friendly and offers nightly Happy Hour promotions starting at 07:30 p.m.
