‘Local’ and ‘indigenous’ are two concepts that have gained a lot of importance over the last few years, evoking a sense of place and identity.

Some ingredients have even been grown in the hotel’s own kitchen garden, in fact.
Each dish will be paired with fine Maltese wines from Marsovin Winery – a leading winery deeply rooted in Malta’s viticultural history. Each carefully selected wine is produced using the local indigenous grape varieties – Girgentina and Gellewza – and served from Magnum bottles.
