Chef Jessie’s Place, This whole property is a special gift from the Almighty. The lot was acquired on the year when his Holiness Pope Francis visited our country in 2015, when Chef Jessie was tasked to prepare all the meals of the Holy Father.

Chef Jessie Sincioco has come a long way since winning the grand prize in the baking category of The Great Maya Cookfest in 1983. Captivating the judges with her remarkable talent, she was immediately offered a special training course within the pastry section of Hotel Intercontinental Manila. Formally hired even before her training course was completed, she quickly rose from the ranks to become the very First Filipina Pastry Chef in 1990. Many firsts and accolades would pepper the course of her savory career. On top of her many awards in “Chefs On Parade”, the country’s most prestigious culinary competition, she has twice bagged the L’Assiete D’Or, the most coveted gold trophy.

Primed to take her craft to the next level, Chef Jessie set her sights on being a premiere restaurateur. With three expat partners, Chef Jessie set up and managed the hugely popular Le Soufflé restaurant in Greenbelt in 1991. This partnership birthed many Le Soufflé branches as well as other restaurants like Papermoon and Poppies until the break-up in 2009. It was then when Chef Jessie decided to take her craft and herself to an even higher level.The simple blessing turned out to be a whole-day affair, with a casual breakfast buffet set up on the second floor for everyone to partake of, transcending into a leisurely brunch that segued into an afternoon tea and, finally, culminating with dinner featuring live entertainment.

Food was overflowing and consistently good — a quality that guests are sure to enjoy with every visit to Chef Jessie Rockwell Club and, now, Chef Jessie’s Place.

The next party takes place two months from now when the finishing touches are done and every floor of the building has already been set up according to design. From building a restaurant, Chef Jessie has now “built a building” and it is the highlight of her life’s work.
