Via Mare

40 Years of Iconic Events Through Menus, Recipes, and Memories

A look back into Via Mare’s beginnings—from a fine-dining restaurant that it originally was, until changing dining trends led Via Mare to introduce various concepts: a Café that serves classic Filipino meals, an Oyster Bar, and a line of take-out Filipino dishes. Presently, Via Mare’s renowned catering services continue to offer iconic fine-dining experiences, rendering innovative dishes, imaginative settings, and impeccable service to big events both local and abroad.

This book is not only a celebration of Via Mare’s 40 years, but also a tribute to the woman whose vision of excellence remains constant, Via Mare’s fount of ideas and moving force—Glenda Rosales Barretto.
