After 17 years, Chateau 1771 dares take us on brash haute cuisine food trips always. With Chef Vicky Rose Pacheco, Chateau 1771 has defied culinary trends time and time again with its own gastronomic innovations. While other chefs went gaga over pesto’s health benefits, Pacheco added sinful slices of chorizo to her pasta.

While others spiked their salads with barbecue sauce, she garnished her Caesar salad with shrimps and squid. Now that most restaurants have embraced with abandon fusion cuisine, Pacheco retains the rich culinary heritage of her borderless cuisine.
