If you’re looking for the perfect place for a private, intimate and relaxed gathering or you want a place where your family and friends could come together and celebrate life over excellent home-cooked meals, why not visit Chateau Hestia Garden Restaurant and Deli in Silang, Cavite where a magical European dining experience awaits.SOURCEI was invited by the restaurant to try their July offerings and their Bed and Breakfast accommodations. It was truly a magical experience as each dish was very delicious and flavorful and our stay was every bit comfortable and relaxing. I’ll be telling you first about the restaurant and their amazing dishes and all that the restaurant offers..Chateau Hestia is a quaint restaurant that specializes in European cuisine. Founded by Austrian national Johannes Zehethofer in 2008, Chateau Hestia offers classic European dishes and modern interpretations of such, capitalizing on both local and European ingredients.We got to the restaurant in the evening and we were ushered into a beautiful pathway that led to this cozy nook outside the restaurant. Notice the German sign on the doorway. It adds an European feel to the native inspired garden.The sitting room inside also looks very cozy and homey. Now I wouldn’t mind waiting for my table if the waiting area is this pretty.To the left of the restaurant is the Deli shop where different types of wines and gourmet deli is being sold.They also have other imported European snacks that guests could buyThey also sell different types of cheese, preserves and cold cuts in the deli shop.They also sell different types of home made bread.We went to the dining area where every table is adorned with beautiful fresh flowers.Our host, Chef Natalia Moran is the Executive Chef of the restaurant. She studied in Culinary As in Florence, Italy and was also a graduate of HRIM from the University of the Philippines. She also spearheads Spicebird in Boracay and also works at Gruppo Il Piccino. We were served freshly baked bread with malunggay pesto. According to Chef Nat, while most dishes are European, she still likes to add a Filipino twist to some like the use of malunggay leaves for here pesto. Much like the whole inn, where the European theme is laced with Filipino inspirations.We were also served a variety of sausages such as currywurst, bockworst, wienerwurst and weisswurst.We were also served different types of cheese such as the Truffle Pecorino, Smoked Cheese, Appenzeller and Ramandolo. I liked the Ramandolo the most (probably because I like soft cheeses more) because of the sweet fruity taste. Their set menu changes every month. For July their menu includes a hearty pumpkin soup.For the main course, you can choose between a lamb ravioli with mint sauce, feta cheese and tomato-lamb au jus,or the Australian flank steak with red wine plum sauce, served with corn and chick pea cakeFor the dessert, they have Apple Streudel which has a very flaky crust and warm apple-cinnamon compote. The powdered sugar just adds a kick of sweetness to tart flavor of the apples. The set menu also comes with a glass of wine (of your choice, or you can ask what would go well with your food). We stayed a bit longer as we finish our wine and headed on to our Casitas to relax. (detials on the Casitas and accomodations on the next post).The set menu costs Php 850 per person.The next morning, we headed on to breakfast, ready to eat our way to Chateau Hestia’s breakfast offerings. The night before though, they already took our orders so we won’t have to wait long for our food.We were greeted by the smell of warm toasted bread as we went back to the restaurant. The bread was served with an assortment of spreads such as coconut jam, apricot jam and pineapple curd.Here are some of the breakfast that we ordered:Fresh fruit platterHestia Pancakes with honeyCroquet sandwich with garden saladSausage and eggs platterBacon and eggs platter.Chateau Hestia also affers Al Fresco dining. With it luscious gardens, it would be unwise not to opt for it. We went on a tour of the whole lot since we didn’t had the time to do that the night before. After a tour of the whole area and the nearby farms, we headed in to al fresco area for our lunch.For our lunch, Chateau Hestia served us their best sellers and boy, did they deliver! The dinner and the breakfast was excellent but their best sellers were not called best sellers for nothing. It was amazing and the food was exquisite.We had their signature Hestia Garden Salad, which has lettuce, microgreens and edible flowers, nuts, mangoes and greek yogurt and Palawan honey vinaigrette Wewere also served an Australian Pure Angus Striploin with radicchio chips and potato gratin. It was juicy and tasty. The cook on the meat was perfect. The radicchio chips was crispy and goes perfectly well with the steak.Kummelbraten, a Viennese style pork belly with bread pudding and sauerkraut. The pork belly was delicious. The skin was crispy and the fat was not too thick.Baked Salmon and sauteed shrimps, Lemon crsuted salmon with potato gnocchi and shrimps and vegetables. The shrimp was crispy on the outside but still very juicy once you slice it. The gnocchi was delicious and flavorful. This dish is comfort food at its finest.Fried Pumpkin Chicken, pumpkin butter-filled chicken, fried to a golden brown, with mushroom sauce and scallop potatoes. This is heaven on a plate. It was amazing to see the pumpkin butter drizzle out when you slice through the chicken and mix with the mushroom sauce. It was rich and creamy and tasty. The chicken is still very juicy and the outside was crispy.They also have desserts such as the Love Triangle which is a trio of Chocolate mousse, Mango Napoleon and Panna Cotta with passion fruit jam. The jam is made from their own passion fruit vines located in the garden.The vegetables Chateau Hestia uses for their dishes are always fresh and organic. They are very lucky ot have organic farms nearby such as Malipayon Farms to supply them with fresh vegetables, microgreen and edible flowers.Chateau Hestia also offers pizza making. It’s a fun activity, especially for kids, because you’ll get to make your own food.We were also taught how to make fresh pasta, the pasta we made was turned into this delicious Baked Spinach and Mushroom CanneloniIt was fun to make your own dish. Not only do you learn how to make your own pizza dough and pasta, you’d also get to appreciate the hard work a chef/cook does for a dish to be delicious and presentable.
The place to go to when you want to leave your busy weekday life in the city. The food’s great with European and some local dishes. The Villas are very relaxing and it can be a perfect spot for a garden event like weddings.
The ambience is cozy. We love the place! We felt relaxed on the scenery around but most of the food they serve tastes sour seems like they put lime on the dishes. The pumpkin soup, the pizza and the creamy mushroom pasta tastes sour. I dunno maybe because they serve Italian dishes but personally I don’t like the taste of it. Food is a bit pricey too.
The place really had a good ambience and the place was very rustic and charming. The food was reasonably priced for its size. We ordered the chicken schnitzel and osso bucco and they were exceptionally delicious. Will definitely go back. -RL
You’d have to find your way to the Chateau because it’s nowhere near the main road but the trip was worth it. It’s instagram worthy on all angles. The food – we weren’t a big fan to be honest. We just tried the corn soup, mushroom soup and pasta and they were kinda bland. A little salt helped though.
We ate in this place as part of their complimentary service offered to their rooms guests. First of all, the place is wonderful. You’re surrounded by nature all over. It feels refreshing and cool. Their food was okay, considering it’s complimentary, but the place more than compensated. When I come back, i’ll try their other menu items.
Place is peaceful and serene. You can definitely enjoy your time with your family or special someone in this place. Food is good and the staffs are polite.
