A First For Malta: Ion Harbour Awarded Two Michelin Stars
In a first for a Maltese restaurant, @ionharbour has just been awarded two Michelin Stars.
The Michelin Guide was published moments ago, awarding some of the best establishments on the island these coveted Stars.
Mark Weingard’s establishment was awarded for its seaside ambiance and delicious food curated by chef Simon Rogan.
“I cannot say enough Thank Yous,” Weingard wrote on social media.
“Our anonymous inspectors explored the local culinary scene, which is constantly evolving, both in terms of the number of restaurants, and the quality of the cuisine prepared and products used. This year marks a milestone in the history of the Michelin Guide Malta, with the announcement of the first two Michelin Stars restaurant in the selection, underscoring the commitment of professionals to deliver the very best to their diners” explained Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides.
“The inspectors also noticed that the Maltese culinary spirit is changing and becoming ever more zestful and innovative. Chefs are now focusing on local gastronomy, bringing the island’s agricultural economy to the fore and thereby consolidating a more sustainable approach to Maltese cuisine. Small kitchen gardens are springing up adjacent to restaurants, enabling chefs to take advantage of local Mediterranean-fragranced products.”
