On September 5, 1975, Glenda Barretto, an intrepid culinary expert, raised the curtains of the first Via Maria. The idea of establishing a restaurant was hatched by a group of businessman and their wives who have tried the list of restaurants in the metro and found them wanting in many aspects. Thus, Larry and Flor Tolosa, Efren and Judith Bautista, Bert and Fely Arceo, Carol and Gov. Jose Roño, Pancho and Glenda Barretto bonded together to create the perfect dining milieu. Located on Legazpi Street in Makati, Via Mare was established at the second floor of the La Tasca Building as a seafood specialty restaurant, serving the most sumptuous catches from the seas. Mrs. Barretto, with her prodigious knowledge of the culinary arts, took the challenging task of developing the restaurant’s menu and concocting new innovative recipes.
Via Mare brings its rich tradition of fine cuisine into the frozen food industry with the name brand Redi-Feast Meal – a variety of popular Philippine dishes namely: Kare-kare, Adobo, Kalderetang Baka/Tupa, Pinakbet, Laing, Lumpia Ubod, Callos and Pancit Luglog. To satisfy more of the Filipino’s appetite Via Mare opened its manufacturing at Guadalupe – Nutri-food Specialists, Inc. Mrs. B’s Pancit are canton noodle variants: Pancit Saluyot (rich in Beta-carotene); Pancit Kalabasa (good source of Vitamin A); Pancit Guso (Iodine rich noodle) and Pancit Ube (rich in Vitamin B Complex).
Via Mare’s latest expansion strategy is franchising. Outlets of Café Via Mare and Via Mare Oyster Bar are at the Rockwell Center, Eastwood Center in Libis and Ayala Alabang.
