JESSIE SINCIOCO

President and CEO, Chef Jessie Restaurants

From being a humble trainee in the pastry kitchen of then Hotel-InterContinental Manila to helming her own eponymous group of restaurants, chef Jessie Sincioco is one of the first purveyors of fine dining in the Philippines. “Having been in this business for more than 30 years, creating such memorable fine dining experiences I think is my best contribution to the dining scene,” she says, citing that what she considers as her greatest credential was when she was chosen to cook for all the meals of His Holiness Pope Francis during his visit to our country in 2015.
