and dive deeper
At AX Hotels, we believe that travel is as much about experiencing local culture through its food as it is about exploring new destinations. We invite you to watch a special episode of USTOA’s Global Kitchen featuring our very own AX Privilege Culinary Director, Award-winning Chef Victor Borg, as he uncovers the authentic flavours and hidden culinary gems of Malta.
Chef Victor takes viewers on an exclusive tour, revealing the secrets behind Malta’s beloved street food and traditional delicacies. From the flaky, savoury pastizzi to the unique smoked sausage of Mġarr and the traditional Maltese Ftira, this journey is a true feast for the senses. You’ll even discover the traditional date parcels (Imqaret), the distinctive sliced ice cream, and the historic bigilla bean paste.
Chef Victor, with his 35 years of culinary expertise, is not just a guide but a passionate ambassador for Maltese cuisine. As Culinary Director of AX Privilege and the brainchild behind the Grain brand, he leads the team at our Michelin-starred Under Grain, and he also leads the culinary experience at the upcoming Verdala Wellness Hotel, including its new restaurant, The Griffin. He ensures that our guests experience the pinnacle of dining excellence, rooted in authentic flavours.
