Why we love it

Only at Renee's offers traditional Filipino food with bold, rich flavor. Their Oxtail Kare-Kare is made to perfection — with a thick, creamy, and savory peanut sauce, steamed fresh green beans and bok choy, and meaty, tender oxtail. Kare-Kare, as one of my favorite Filipino dishes, is something I've ordered and eaten at nearly every Filipino restaurant and gathering throughout my life, and Only At Renee's offers the best Kare-Kare I've ever had. A great complement to their Kare-Kare is their Lechon Kawali, which has an airy, delicate crisp and is sprinkled with just the right amount of salt to truly bring out the flavor. For dessert, their Biko Special is a subtle, not-too-sweet warm sticky rice coated with a layer of light caramel sauce.
