Via Mare is a must for oyster lovers! In addition to an oyster bar, they have great views and even better fresh seafood. There are several outlets across the city. The first outlet opened in 1982 and over the years Via Mare has become one of Manila’s most celebrated seafood restaurants. This place is also the right place to experience local's favorite with a modern touch, such as the famous Bisque de Mediterranee, a tomato-based soup with seafood, sealed with a pastry on top. If you are into street food, Via Mare has its way to turn some exotic food into a gourmet dish. Here, Balut or duck egg is served with puff pastry in Balut Surprise, replacing the usual spicy vinegar.
