Margarita Fores , the renowned restaurateur and chef celebrated for her contributions to the Manila culinary scene, has passed away at the age of 65. Her son, Amado, announced the news on social media on February 11th, expressing the family's profound grief over the unexpected loss. Margarita's legacy is deeply intertwined with the flourishing restaurant scene in Metro Manila.
She burst onto the scene in 1997 with the opening of Cibo, a chic and casual Italian restaurant that quickly captured the hearts and palates of Manila's diners. Cibo's success propelled Margarita to establish a culinary empire, expanding her reach with restaurants such as Pepato, Lusso, Grace Park, and a catering business, Cibo de M. Her commitment to showcasing the finest local ingredients and championing the 'farm-to-table' philosophy earned her widespread acclaim. In 2016, she was rightfully awarded the title of Asia's Best Female Chef, a testament to her culinary expertise and dedication. Margarita's influence extended beyond the realm of restaurants. She became a respected figure, catering to not only Manila's elite but also heads of state in recent years. Her journey began with a career in accounting, but a transformative trip to Italy sparked her passion for culinary arts. Upon returning to Manila, she embarked on her culinary adventure, opening Cibo and forever changing the landscape of Manila's dining scene. In recent years, Margarita collaborated with her son, Amado, who has established his own successful restaurants, including Amano and Steak and Frice. Margarita Fores's passing marks the end of an era for Manila's culinary world. Her contributions will be deeply missed, but her legacy of exceptional cuisine and unwavering commitment to quality will continue to inspire generations of chefs and food lovers
