We know how hard it is to get your guy to take you to a fancy restaurant. Besides balking at the thought of picking up that hefty check after the meal, he’s sure to grumble about the uptight ambiance! For him, a burger joint is a better place to spend his cash, and he won’t even have to read unpronounceable dish names off the menu to get what he wants.

Here’s a place where you can satisfy your fancy date desires and your beau can chomp on his beloved burgers—Murray & D’Vine.

Burgers And Bottles

Murray & D’Vine at Serendra, The Fort is part-burger joint and part-wine place, serving both gourmet burgers and luxe wines from Titania Wine Cellar. This small, two-story space is intimate enough to be a date place and cozy enough to be a chillax inuman spot.

Think the concept of pairing wine with burger is alien? Think again! “What is a beef burger? It’s made from beef, like a steak, or a roast, which you’d normally have wine with. So why not [have wine] with a burger?” owner Murray Hertz says. “It certainly isn’t a new trend, in the United States and Europe people have been having burgers with wine.”

Murray’s business partner, Tita Meneses Trillo of Titania Wine Cellar, agrees. “Even the French, like three-Michelin chefs, are actually doing burgers. They pair it with wine,” she says. “Some places [are even called] Wine & Burger Bar.”

Eats For Sweethearts

Murray suggests you prime your palates with some tender and tasty Buffalo Wings (P290). We also recommend the Mixed Cheese Platter (P425), which goes fantastic with your wine fix.

Ready for your entree? Better come here starving because Murray & D’Vine offers humongous half-pound burgers! And not just any burgers—Murray & D’Vine is the only spot in Manila that serves their patties and buns heart-shaped. Who says burgers can’t be romantic?

Take a huge bite out of any of Murray & D’vine’s juicy burgers, among them beef bigwigs Wagyu (P595), Angus (P495), and Kobe (P615). Slice your heart-shaped burgers in half and share if you think it’s too big. If you want to have a little bite of everything, go for the sliders, which are three mini burgers on a skewer served with a side of fries.
