What started as a conversation with Chef Bella on what business to engage in during one of their private cooking lessons, Architect Magsie and wife Maria Rossini Valdez never thought that LMuse Food Tasting would be realized during the time of the pandemic.
L’Muse meaning wonder or beautiful, a name that will bring a classy and elegant dining experience to the local clientele within Zamboanga City.

Meet the dynamic husband and wife team behind the brand. They are Architect Magsie Valdez and his wife Maria Rossini Valdez. Both are avid foodies and passionate about quality and service. During the interview, it was revealed that it took them 2 years to execute L’Muse to what it is today, but they say you cannot rush a masterpiece!
The interiors were designed by both Arch. Magsie and Chef Bella. The result was an ambiance that is both modern and elegant, with a clean and minimalist décor. We love the lighting of the place because it helps you appreciate the food being served. The tables and chairs are truly bespoke designs. Every detail has been scrutinized to satisfy even the most demanding client.
