One Star: High quality cooking
The Rosselli hotel, which houses the restaurant, is located along one of the most elegant streets in Valletta, and the historic and imposing building that hosts it is the best calling card for the stylish dining room awaiting guests. Descend via the lift to the elegant cellar, where you walk past the kitchen before entering into a room with a vaulted stone ceiling and dark, moody décor. Under Grain is inspired by Merchant Street’s former tailor shops and evidence of this theme is all around, from the sewing pattern menu to the clothing displays – and even a pin-cushion bill-holder.
As a tailor would create something exquisite from cloth, the chef here does the same with fine ingredients, skilfully applying his talent to produce a beautiful end product. In the tasting menu or a limited à la carte selection, the cuisine features many references to the most renowned local products, from the catch of Maltese waters to the famous rabbit, interpreted using sophisticated and international culinary techniques. Professional, personable service and a relaxed atmosphere add to the experience. The wine list is well-chosen and contains plenty of gems from the world, especially from Italy and France.
