Carrying on the tradition started almost two decades ago by Le Souffle, Chef Jessie Rockwell Club continues to offer their patrons exquisite Mediterranean and French
cuisine amid wonderful works of art. It is not just the food that takes center stage here, but the art as well. This is evident in the attention given to such details as proper
lighting and positioning of the art works.

Such gustatory delights as their Pan-Fried Goose Liver in Raspberry-Honey Sauce, Grilled Chilean Sea Bass Fillet in Artichoke Tomato Chardonnay Sauce and of course the Pasta alla Jessie have become signature dishes there, and one’s dining experience is perfectly complemented by the art that is on display. Among the many artists whose work have been featured here are Ramon Diaz, Sylvia Diaz, Allan Cosio, Rolly Soliven, Fr. Armand Tangi and Ms. Chin-Chin Gutierrez.
