Recently appointed as Executive Chef at The Xara Palace’s Michelin-starred restaurant de Mondion based within the bastion walls of the medieval fortified city of Mdina, Chef Clint Grech will continue to elevate the unique gastronomic offerings at this stunning restaurant concept.
Chef Clint joined The Xara Collection nearly 20 years ago, working under the talented Chef Kevin Bonello, who served as a mentor and guided Clint to build on his creativity, skill and love for the culinary world. Throughout the years, Clint has nurtured and developed his passion for ‘Culinaria’ continuously - his talent and dedication were instrumental in achieving and recently maintaining the one Michelin star at de Mondion. Prior to joining The Xara Collection, Clint studied at the Institute of Tourism Studies for four years, and then moved on to spend time at the Gavroche with acclaimed Chef and Restaurateur, Michel Roux.
Now settling into his new role as Executive Chef at The Xara Palace, Chef Clint is excited about the new prospects for the exclusive restaurant, and takes pleasure in working with the dedicated and skilled teams. Together, the team at de Mondion have a hunger to keep building and improving themselves, which is reflected in the carefully curated experience they offer to diners. Executive Chef Clint comments, “My goal is to take our guests on a journey around our beautiful island. As Executive Chef, my responsibility is to honour the seasons and people behind our produce here at de Mondion and my vision is to showcase Malta’s wonderful culture, history and art through our food here at The Xara Palace.” Chef Clint will help to guide the kitchen team at The Xara Palace, working alongside Head Chef Gabriel Caruana to ensure the very best food offerings.
