Papa Fred's Steakhouse

Puerto Galera


Hone in on Fred's seven-course special menus – there are four choices, usually including steak, seafood or a combination of the two. They're worth the splurge. The à-la-carte section sees fondue, Bavarian pork and good wines orbit a core of steaks. Bonus points for the waterfront location.
