Holistic wellness resort The Farm at San Benito has gained ground as one of the top health and wellness resorts in the country with its programs geared towards health optimization, such as its wide array of holistic sanctuary integrative medical services and healing sanctuary spa treatments.
Apart from such services, the resort also has a variety of dining destinations that offer wellness dishes. These include the Halal-certified ALIVE! Vegan Restaurant, which offers whole food, plant-based living foods, and gourmet cuisine; PRANA, an Indian-vegetarian restaurant inspired by Ayurveda; and PESCE, a pescatarian restaurant inspired by the Blue Zone diet.
Jennifer Sanvictores, The Farm at San Benito’s global head of sales, marketing, and communications, pointed out how the resort’s philosophy revolves around a holistic approach to health, including food intake.
“What we’re known for is our plant-based living foods cuisine, which is evident in all of our restaurants. It is locally sourced, seasonally harvested, free from chemicals and pesticides, and rich in antioxidants, vital nutrients, prebiotics, vitamins, and minerals, which is actually good for gut health,” said Sanvictores.
As it continues to provide its services to guests looking to optimize their well-being, The Farm has recently opened two new additions to its restaurant offerings—French fine-dining restaurant Souffle De Vie and Mediterranean wholefood, farm-fresh, heart-healthy restaurant The Upperdeck.
Named after the French term for “breath of life,” Souffle De Vie offers a French fine-dining experience with a menu that highlights the fresh and organic ingredients sourced from The Farm’s vegetable and herb garden, as well as pasture-raised chicken, wild-caught seafood, and grass-fed meat from both local and international producers.
Some of the signature dishes from the restaurant include the burrata et tomates, or burrata with cherry tomatoes and basil pesto; soupe à l’oignon gratinée, or French onion soup with beef stock; faux filet grillé, or grilled beef tenderloin with mashed potato; côtelette d’agneau, or flame-grilled lamb chops in red wine sauce; and gâteau à la pistache, sauce cerise et glace au miel, or pistachio cake with cherry sauce and pistachio ice cream.
Meanwhile, The Upperdeck features Mediterranean cuisine, which also practices a farm-to-table philosophy through its menu of fresh and locally sourced vegetables, herbs, pasture-raised organic chicken, and well-balanced dishes. Its signature dishes include the Superfood salad, chicken kibbeh with hummus and tabbouleh, and lemon herb roast chicken.
Speaking about the opening of the two restaurants, The Farm at San Benito Director Rajan Uttamchandani expressed his delight over their official launch, stating that it was an incredible way to celebrate the resort’s milestone of operating for 22 years.
“These new restaurants are a testament to our dedication to creating exceptional experiences that offer wholesome and nourishing culinary options for the entire family,” said The Farm at San Benito General Manager Preet Singh.
As part of the 22nd anniversary of The Farm at San Benito, Souffle De Vie, The Upperdeck and the rest of the resort’s restaurants will be open to both in-house and walk-in guests for lunch and dinner. For reservations, contact +63917572210.
