Meet Gin! 🍽️ 🔮

Chef Gin Gil brings two of her worlds to the table at Sanctuary: food and tarot. With a culinary background spanning Café Ysabel, The Westin Manila, ReCraft Bar, and Flora Tea & Gin Bar, Gin brings the creativity and craft of a professional chef to everything she makes.

But what makes her food special is how warm it feels. There is something almost life-giving about it; it's the kind of food you can tell was made with heart. It carries the creativity of a chef while still holding the warmth and comfort of something lovingly cooked at home.

Because food can do more than nourish us, it can comfort, connect, and heal. ♥️

Gin is also the founder of @simplespiritualityph, where she has been making tarot and spirituality more accessible since 2018.

For Sanctuary, Gin will be cooking seven courses and guiding us through tarot, with a shared reading woven through each course and a personal reading for every guest.

We’re very lucky to have her at our table. 🥹

September 26, 2026 · UM Kitchen, Quezon City
7 guests · 7 courses · 7 readings

₱9,500 per guest
₱8,550 for Ruby Aro members + complimentary Slow Bloom photobook

August 2026

First photo: My Halaan and Gata Soup photographed by Gertrud Trinidad (Dios Mabalos Luna!)

Main August realization: One of the things that drastically changed for me once I hit kinda late thirties was my capacity for food — physically and emotionally. Back then, I still had the ability to go to all-you-can-eat pasta joints in NY and huge Amish buffets in Pennsylvania (thanks Kuya Jay for these roadtrips turned foodtrips hahahaha)!

Nowadays I find myself getting happily satisfied even with just a couple of bites. I miss being able to eat without “limits”, but I’m also fascinated with this newfound satiation point. It gave me idea that every dish has one chance to draw you in or push you away. A single bite has one chance to reveal itself to you. If it can’t tell you the whole story with that instance, then that first decisive experience has to have a hell of an intro to keep you coming back for more.

Also, it remains that I couldn’t care less about how expensive or rare or luxurious an ingredient is. I most deeply care about how everything that went in the dish (ingredients AND technique) helped to give birth to it and give it a life.

Here’s to being kinda chic with one-bite decisions. 🌻
