José Luis “Chele” González is a chef who cannot sit still. When he’s not busy creating innovative tasting menus for his flagship restaurant Gallery by Chele, you can find him meeting with farmers to make breakthroughs in sustainability, sharing this knowledge on the global stage or even consulting for new concepts around the country. His Spanish restaurant, Asador Alfonso, shows another side to González—designed by architect Carlo Calma, the stunning dining destination in Alfonso, Cavite makes a grand impression that the kitchen surpasses with every bite, championing simple, produce-driven Asador cuisine you cannot find anywhere else in the Philippines, or perhaps even in Asia. More recently, González has also launched his new catering services, offering bespoke casual bites (Deli by Chele Event Catering) and innovative, refined dining (Chele Catering) bringing his signature cuisine to your table.
