Grain, the renowned culinary brand at the five-star Rosselli – AX Privilege hotel, continues to set the standard for fine dining in Malta. Under Grain has secured its Michelin star for the sixth consecutive year, while its sister restaurant, Grain Street, has retained its Michelin Bib Gourmand for the fourth year running.

The Grain team is led by AX Privilege culinary director Victor Borg, who consistently delivers “an exceptional dining experience through precision, artistry and warm hospitality”.

Claire Zammit Xuereb, director of Hospitality at AX Hotels, said: “Winning a Michelin star for the sixth year is a testament to the consistency, creativity and dedication of our team. My sincere gratitude goes to Chef Victor and every team member who ensures our guests enjoy an extraordinary dining experience. Having two Michelin-awarded restaurants under one roof for years highlights the high standards and innovation that define Grain.”
