Name: Rafel Sammut
Nationality: Maltese
Background:
Raised in a family rooted in hospitality, Rafel has been able to develop a deep respect for food from an early age. Previously owned restaurant BRIJU and today sits on the board of kitchen concepts group of restaurants.
This foundation instilled a strong appreciation for ingredients, technique, and the time required to cook well. Passionate, patient, and ambitious, Rafel approaches the craft with energy and fairness, valuing both discipline and creativity.
Influenced by the late Enrico Bertollini and by Francis Mallmann’s instinctive open-fire cooking, Rafel draws inspiration from both tradition and simplicity.
