(SPOT.ph) Most people know I’M Hotel in Makati for its massages and onsen, but not everyone realizes it’s also home to Osteria M, an Italian-Filipino restaurant tucked right in the heart of Poblacion. Led by MasterChef Singapore alum and hotelier Chef Melissa Lim, the restaurant serves up a spread of Italian comfort food with a Filipino twist—think breads, pizzas, and freshly made pasta tailored to our palates, showcasing her mastery of both flavor and technique.
This month, Osteria M is adding Beef Wellington to the menu—a savory-meets-pastry masterpiece—just in time for the second run of SPOT.ph x Esquire Philippines’ Secret Menu.

Check out Osteria M's Beef Wellington:
Osteria M’s take on Beef Wellington (P1,300/half, P2,600/whole) keeps things classic: flaky puff pastry, a layer of umami-rich duxelles, and a tender beef center. The pastry is the real standout here: crisp, buttery, and clearly made with skill. The beef is tender with subtle seasoning that lets the meaty, umami-forward flavors of the filet mignon shine. Topping the Wellington is stroganoff peppercorn sauce that packs a punch. It’s served with mashed potatoes and some lettuce on the side.
Before you rush into the restaurant solo to order this beefy beauty, note that the entire roughly six-inch log is meant for sharing for up to three people (two if you're hungry). That price tag isn't looking too steep now, yes? If you're decided on dining solo, know that you can order just a half portion too. But hey, dining is more fun with more people so make it a date and bring your friends and family to try this limited-time-only offering in Makati—maybe sneak in a spa date at I'M Hotel's onsen and wellness center.
