Grain Street’s fifth consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand
Grain Street’s fifth consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recognises its consistent quality and value driven culinary offering. The award highlights flavour-forward dishes delivered with precision and generosity.
While Under Grain offers a Michelin starred tasting journey, Grain Street presents a vibrant yet polished alternative. Mediterranean-inspired sharing plates and seasonal dishes are designed to encourage convivial dining without sacrificing quality. Five consecutive Bib Gourmand distinctions demonstrate the team’s ability to maintain high standards across different culinary expressions within the Grain portfolio.
Why is consecutive Michelin recognition significant?
Consecutive Michelin recognition signals discipline, evolution, and long-term culinary vision. It reflects a restaurant’s ability to maintain exacting standards while continuing to refine its craft.
For Chef Victor Borg and his team, seven Michelin Stars represent more than annual accolades. They affirm a sustained commitment to excellence within one of Valletta’s most intimate dining rooms. Together with Grain Street’s five Bib Gourmand recognitions, these achievements strengthen the Grain brand’s position within Malta’s gastronomic landscape. They speak not of fleeting success, but of enduring culinary integrity.
