Kurt Micallef has joined the kitchen team at The Phoenicia Malta as senior sous chef.
Micallef trained at Le Cordon Bleu in London and across Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe, including Belgium’s In De Wulf, where he built a classically French repertoire and developed a passion for locally sourced, exceptional food.
Years of hands-on experience followed, with senior posts in some of Malta’s most respected kitchens – Noni, Risette, Ion the Harbour and, most recently, Fernando’s.
“We are delighted to welcome Kurt as senior sous chef,” the hotel’s general manager, Robyn Pratt, said.
“For Kurt, food is more than a profession – it’s a way of life. With his extensive knowledge, creativity and expertise, we look forward to the exciting experiences he will bring to our guests.”
