Where to Order Good Steak in Metro Manila for Your Last-Minute V-Day Meal Preps

Got no plans for Valentine’s Day? Fret not. Nobody wants to be stuck in traffic while attempting to score a table at a restaurant at the last minute. We also do not recommend jostling against the crowd on a Monday for a V Day takeout. To save you from the rush hour and a potential infection, why not order a slab of red meat and whip up your dinner instead? Admit it, cooking for your partner shows effort in ways no fancy dinner reservation can topple.

For carnivores who are observing Valentine’s Day but have nowhere to go, here are retailers around Metro Manila that can deliver juicy steak to your doorstep.

Chingolo Deli

Owned by brothers-in-law Erwan Heussaff and Nico Bolzico, Chingolo Deli offers a range of organic and antibiotic-free meat, as well as wines and deli products. It carries the Bolzico beef brand, Nico’s version of grass-fed Angus beef from Argentina and Brazil that combines the right amount of fat, marbling, and flavor. One of their bestsellers is the Argentine ribeye, a cut from the beef rib known for having a tender texture. It goes for P495 per 250 grams. Do not forget to add barbeque sauce (P230), garlic aioli (P249), or our personal favorite, homemade chimichurri (P330) to your cart!

Chingolo Deli delivers within select areas in Metro Manila, with fees starting at P95. Cut-off for same-day delivery is 2PM. Pick-up is also available everyday from 10 AM to 5 PM.
