Terranea Resort Debuts New All-Day Wellness Eatery, Solviva, This January 2019
CRAFTED TO BENEFIT THE BODY AND MIND, SOLVIVA SPOTLIGHTS NUTRIENT-RICH, LOCAL, AND SUSTAINABLE INGREDIENTS IN A COLLABORATION BETWEEN CHEF DE CUISINE RJ DELA MERCED AND NUTRITIONIST NAVIL LORENZANA
(January 8, 2019) — Terranea Resort proudly introduces a new on-property nutritional dining destination, Solviva, opening in January 2019. A combination of Solis and Vita, Latin words for "sun" and "life," respectively, Solviva speaks to the vibrant energy at the core of the restaurant's concept and draws inspiration from its location in Rancho Palos Verdes. Centered on balancing wellness of the body and mind with nutrient-rich food that improve circadian rhythm, function, and mood, the eatery offers a unique restorative experience through refined, light-and-bright fare from Chef de Cuisine RJ Dela Merced. With guidance from Terranea's in-house nutritionist, Navil Lorenzana and Vice President of Culinary Experiences & Executive Chef Bernard Ibarra, the menu features composed healthful selections—a majority of which is sourced from Terranea's own farm—and caters to diners' wellness journeys as well as special dietary preferences including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. Menus will frequently change with the seasons and ebb and flow with peak ingredient harvests. The beverage menu, curated by Alicia Ajolo, Terranea's Wine Director & Certified Sommelier, features a large selection of organic, biodynamic, and sustainable libations from wineries, breweries, and other purveyors that support Terranea's ethos in holistic well-being.
"Solviva is an extension of healing," says Lorenzana. "It is a combination of gastronomy and science - a balance of the both, where your palate is excited, and your body is nourished. Our dishes are crafted to heal from the inside out to keep the wellness of the guest in mind."
"I believe there is a connection between the state of one's mind and body with whatever he or she does—an essential part of this process involves eating food which nourishes one's soul," Dela Merced explains. "We propel that message forward with our menu, using ingredients grown from our on-site garden and making most of the elements for a dish in-house."
Located in a calm, mindful environment right on the water's edge at The Spa at Terranea, Solviva is open daily for breakfast (6:00am - 11:00am), lunch (11:00am - 3:00pm), afternoon "Healthy Bites" (3:00pm-5:00pm), and dinner (5:00pm - 8:00pm Sunday - Friday; 5:00pm - 9:00pm Saturday).
