Food Philosophy at REVIVO Wellness Resort

In this interview, REVĪVŌ Wellness Resort restaurant manager talks about their philosophy on food that is nutritionally balanced and strongly influenced by local cuisine.

1. What is the food philosophy at Revivo, and what inspires this philosophy?

Our concept is a vital kitchen. We don’t believe in prescriptive or restrictive diets but in creating nourishing and balanced meals to respond to each person’s needs. Our menu offers a variety of health-conscious options to serve delicious, nutritious, mindfully sourced and prepared food to fuel your days. This inspiration for this philosophy comes from a desire to help people with their goals. Whether that be to detox, destress, lose weight, sleep better and most importantly feeling better from where they started. 

2. What is a vital kitchen?

A vital kitchen is the goal to provide human health effects beyond a normal healthy diet required for basic human nutrition. Our vital kitchen is harmonious and practical. We put a lot of mindfulness and care into the creation of every dish. The criteria of vital cuisine is also to keep the PH alkaline/acidity in balance.

3. Are there categories for the vital kitchen?

Yes, indeed. The vital kitchen divided into 3 categories:

• Super Hi vitality food (good for DETOX) 
• Hi vitality food (best to increase energy and release stress) 
• Lower vitality food (related to animal meat that when eaten correctly is important in the diet of many people)

4. Where are your ingredients sourced from?

We source our food from local farmers who are making a conscious effort to create quality food that is free chemicals and unconscious ingredients or processes. Local produce is delivered in small quantities so we can support each other in our mission. We try to be organic as much as possible, beyond the organic certificate.

5. How do you guarantee the quality of the products and the food?

We want the guests who are eating our food to feeling amazing afterwards and surprised by how tasty it is. Most importantly, we want to create food that people can trust and so everything is made by us. We know where all our ingredients come from, and we know how to cook them to get the most out of them, both in terms of flavour and nutrients. All our meals are cooked from scratch daily from our kitchen, nothing taken away and nothing added.
