Meet Chef Robbie Ripalda

Raised in a happy family of meat butchers and liquor suppliers, Chef Robbie at his early age became exposed in the art of cooking. Robbie Ripalda helms the kitchen as executive chef of the Domaine. His 10 years of experience and passion for European cuisine and techniques allow his culinary perspective to continuously evolve. Before putting up Domaine in Silang Cavite, Ripalda started as an intern at the Le soufflé Restaurant in Fort Bonifacio. In 2010, he hones his experience and travel to Paris, France where he finished culinary school at the

prestigious “Le Cordon Bleu Paris” and received a diploma in Cuisine and marked 3rd honor in his batch and a diploma in Patisserie and he continuously received impressive citations. In 2011 he moved to the city of Reims where he worked in Chateau Les Creyeres under the guidance of Chef Philippe Mille as Commis Garde Manager.

From showcasing his cuisine and passion for cooking, he turned the situation into a more challenging goal of becoming an “entrepreneur-chef” that made his dream turned to a reality.
