One Producer, One Chef – Josef Farrugia and David Buttigieg, Malta

We explore the relationship between Chef David Buttigieg of The Harbour Club in Valletta and Organic Farmer Josef Farrugia, who supplies fresh produce to the restaurant.

Located in the historic town of Valletta, The Harbour Cub is befitting of its name, as its sun-drenched terrace boasts impressive views over Malta’s naturally occurring Grand Harbour. Built in the 18C as an ice house, the building provides a unique and intimate setting, and is certainly the perfect place for dinner with a view.

Chef David Buttigieg’s cooking is creative in its conception and attractively presented, and his dishes showcase top quality produce sourced from across the island. In this video we take a look at his relationship with one of his producers, Josef Farrugia, who supplies him with lovingly grown, freshly picked ingredients for the restaurant.

The launch of the 2023 edition of the MICHELIN Guide Malta will take place today, Thursday 2nd March, at 2.30pm. Check back on the website for all the latest news and to view the new restaurant listings.
