NEWS 14 maltatoday | WEDNESDAY • 13 DECEMBER 2023 THE Phoenicia Malta has an- nounced the official introduc- tion of its latest culinary jewel, Contessa. This reimagined din- ing venue sets a new benchmark for high-end Southern Medi- terranean cuisine, elevating the Malta dining scene to dazzling new heights. Contessa emerges from The Phoenicia Malta's cherished Phoenix Restaurant, reborn into a year-round gastronom- ic destination that promises a symphony of flavours for both locals and international guests, elevated by tableside theatre and beguiling signature dishes. With its doors now open, Con- tessa invites diners to revel in the beauty of its surroundings, whether under the azure Mal- tese sky or the starlit nights or within the beautiful internal dining room that have become a signature experience of Phoe- nicia Malta. "The Phoenicia Malta has al- ways been synonymous with exceptional guest experiences. With Contessa, we are enhanc- ing our offerings to ensure that our guests have the privilege of enjoying the finest dining experiences regardless of the season," Robyn Pratt, Gener- al Manager of Phoenicia Mal- ta, said. "Our new all-weath- er Conservatory means that, whatever the weather, guests can now enjoy one of our most-beloved featured – the Phoenicia Terrace." Contessa's design intricately weaves the warmth of Maltese hospitality with the fresh flair of modern dining, enabling guests to bask in the beauty of The Phoenicia Malta's gar- dens and the Mediterranean beyond. The terrace has been transformed into a stunning botanical-garden-inspired con- servatory, providing a weath- er-proof, yet equally enchant- ing dining environment. Mark Shaw, the owner of The Phoenicia Malta, said, "We're delighted with the dedication our culinary team has shown in curating the Contessa menu, which reflects our commit- ment to seasonal, high-quality dining. This week we were also very proud of the team as we picked up The Definitive(ly) Good Guide 2024 Award for Best Food in a Restaurant. Now this culinary excellence will continue, and we will only keep improving from here. This is a significant moment for us as we continue to invest in creat- ing exceptional experiences for our guests." Contessa's menu, a celebra- tion of Southern Mediterra- nean produce and culinary creativity, will be refreshed seasonally to reflect the best that the region has to offer. The Phoenicia Malta ushers in a new season of gastronomy with Contessa Contessa offers an all-season, all- sensory dining experience as The Phoenicia Malta's latest investment in unparalleled guest experiences
