Greenhouse Cafe brought an elegant culinary experience to the table through a curated wine and food pairing featuring dishes inspired by the travels and family memories of CEO Atty. Rina Cristobal-Wang, with proud Kapampangan wine connoisseur Odie Pineda guiding guests through the art of pairing food with wine.
The experience highlighted Greenhouse Cafe’s appreciation for thoughtful cuisine, quality ingredients, and the stories behind every dish, transforming a dining experience into a journey across flavors and cultures.
The curated menu opened with pan-seared ahi tuna in orange butter on cos lettuce, paired with NV Crémant de Bordeaux Brut Rosé by Sieur Gaillard, followed by quinoa-stuffed peppers with roasted cherry tomatoes and feta, complemented by Mud House 2024 Sauvignon Blanc.
For the fish course, creamy Tuscan salmon pasta was served alongside Château de Montgueret 2022 Anjou Rosé. The main course featured beef Burgundy, slow-cooked in red wine sauce and served with silky mashed potatoes and green vegetables, paired with Aegerter 2009 Fixin.
The experience concluded on a sweet note with mango mousse and chili-lime crumble, matched with Domaine des Bernardins 2011 Muscat Beaumes-de-Venise.
Beyond the carefully selected pairings, the gathering celebrated the personal connections between food, wine, and travel. Through Cristobal-Wang’s family-inspired menu and Pineda’s wine expertise, Greenhouse Cafe offered guests an opportunity to appreciate how flavors, memories, and culinary traditions come together in every course.
