It is with profound pride and humility that we announce the retention of our distinction in the Michelin Guide for the seventh consecutive year.

Each day in the kitchen is a commitment to discipline, to growth and to the relentless pursuit of excellence. The challenges, the difficult decisions and the moments of self reflection are not obstacles but necessary steps in becoming better than yesterday.

This recognition is not a destination it is a responsibility to continue learning, evolving and striving for greater.

Root 81 is more than a restaurant to me. It is my home, my identity, my purpose, and my greatest source of pride.

My deepest gratitude goes to our extraordinary team whose dedication and passion give life to our vision every day. To my lovely family, for their unwavering support. And to our guests, whose trust and loyalty inspire us to give our very best.

With love and devotion,
to Root 81
to Malta and to the story that continues
