A recent feature by Bilyonaryo News Channel spotlighted the culinary direction at Shepherd’s Ridge Mountain Resort, highlighting how its chefs transform Laguna’s local produce into a distinctive dining experience for guests.
The article showcased how the resort’s food and beverage program goes beyond traditional resort dining, positioning cuisine as a central part of the overall guest journey.
Elevating Local Ingredients Through Culinary Craft
According to Bilyonaryo News Channel, the culinary team at Shepherd’s Ridge draws inspiration from the region’s agricultural landscape — incorporating locally sourced ingredients into thoughtfully prepared dishes. From savory regional specialties to refined desserts, the menu reflects both Filipino heritage and contemporary culinary technique.
Signature offerings mentioned in the feature include creative takes on local dishes such as kulawo, alongside desserts like guava cheesecake, demonstrating how familiar flavors can be reimagined into elevated dining experiences.
Sustainability and Sense of Place
The feature also emphasized the kitchen’s commitment to sustainability. Ingredients grown on-site and sourced nearby are integrated into daily service, while food waste is managed responsibly to support the resort’s gardens — reinforcing a circular, environment-conscious approach to hospitality.
This connection between land, kitchen, and guest experience strengthens Shepherd’s Ridge’s identity as a destination where nature, comfort, and cuisine coexist.
