THE NEW BONIFACIO HIGH Street extension saw the birth of dining hot spots to check out. 24/7 had a chance to indulge in the exciting new flavors at Bonifacio High Street, 30th Street corner 7th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.
An exciting dining destination opened its doors recently at the chic Bonifacio High Street district in Taguig. ‘Cue, which derives its name from the Filipino meat lovers favorite--barbecue, prides itself with only having the best quality cuts of meat prepared with their very own house-made rubs, marinades and sauces. These perfectly complement the slow-roasted, char-grilled and ale braised meats that are served to customers.
Street’s new extension in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. To ensure the authenticity of the food, Chef Marino Leonardis, a native of Liguria, Italy was flown into the country. He promised to “make sure to use only the best ingredients, always fresh. Plus, I make everything by hand, from scratch.”
‘Cue is so meticulous with its meats such as their corned beef, bacon slabs, ribs, and pulled pork. The bone marrow and steak tacos dish have become the most talked about appetizer.
So if meat’s your ultimate thing and you need to get that carnivore fix, quickly queue up for those delectable dishes at ‘Cue.

‘Cue is so meticulous with its meats such as their corned beef, bacon slabs, ribs, and pulled pork. The bone marrow and steak tacos dish have become the most talked about appetizer. Take a stab at A ‘Li’l Feast, a tasting of beef belly slices, lamb ribs, half a slab of baby back ribs and a half roasted chicken. If comfort food makes your day, you’ll feel right at home with their house burger (a double 3.oz house blend all beef patty), home-style mac ‘n’ cheese, spicy fried wings for starters or for late night, and a Louisiana-style beef stew similar to a richer and thicker adobo, but with beef and oxtail. So if meat’s your ultimate thing and you need to get that carnivore fix, quickly queue up for those delectable dishes at ‘Cue.

‘Cue is so meticulous with its meats such as their corned beef, bacon slabs, ribs, and pulled pork. The bone marrow and steak tacos dish have become the most talked about appetizer. Take a stab at A ‘Li’l Feast, a tasting of beef belly slices, lamb ribs, half a slab of baby back ribs and a half roasted chicken. If comfort food makes your day, you’ll feel right at home with their house burger (a double 3.oz house blend all beef patty), home-style mac ‘n’ cheese, spicy fried wings for starters or for late night, and a Louisiana-style beef stew similar to a richer and thicker adobo, but with beef and oxtail. So if meat’s your ultimate thing and you need to get that carnivore fix, quickly queue up for those delectable dishes at ‘Cue.

THE NEW BONIFACIO HIGH Street extension saw the birth of dining hot spots to check out. 24/7 had a chance to indulge in the exciting new flavors at Bonifacio High Street, 30th Street corner 7th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.
An exciting dining destination opened its doors recently at the chic Bonifacio High Street district in Taguig. ‘Cue, which derives its name from the Filipino meat lovers favorite--barbecue, prides itself with only having the best quality cuts of meat prepared with their very own house-made rubs, marinades and sauces. These perfectly complement the slow-roasted, char-grilled and ale braised meats that are served to customers.
Street’s new extension in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. To ensure the authenticity of the food, Chef Marino Leonardis, a native of Liguria, Italy was flown into the country. He promised to “make sure to use only the best ingredients, always fresh. Plus, I make everything by hand, from scratch.”
‘Cue is so meticulous with its meats such as their corned beef, bacon slabs, ribs, and pulled pork. The bone marrow and steak tacos dish have become the most talked about appetizer.
So if meat’s your ultimate thing and you need to get that carnivore fix, quickly queue up for those delectable dishes at ‘Cue.

Take a stab at A ‘Li’l Feast, a tasting of beef belly slices, lamb ribs, half a slab of baby back ribs and a half roasted chicken. If comfort food makes your day, you’ll feel right at home with their house burger (a double 3.oz house blend all beef patty), home-style mac ‘n’ cheese, spicy fried wings for starters or for late night, and a Louisiana-style beef stew similar to a richer and thicker adobo, but with beef and oxtail.
Specialties include salads, seafood and meat dishes, homemade pastas, (such as ricotta and spinach ravioli, three-cheese gnocchi), three types of risotto, chocolate mousse and zuppa inglese. A must-try is still Aria’s wood-fired oven-baked thin-crust pizzas that come in 24 variations.
