An Authentic fine-dining
Experience in Malta
ION Harbour is a one Michelin Star Restaurant in Malta offering a unique dining experience that ventures beyond the usual boundaries of fine dining in Malta. Multi award winning Michelin starred chef Alex Dilling runs the kitchen at ION Harbour, situated on the stunning rooftop of Iniala Harbour House in Valletta – Malta’s iconic capital.
Whether seated indoors amongst impeccably furnished interiors or out on the sun-lit terrace, diners can enjoy impressive views of the majestic Grand Harbour – particularly magical when lit up at night. It’s the harmony between setting and attention to the finest of details; from artfully assembled dishes to impeccable service, that makes the ION experience so distinctly memorable.
“While we are the proud holders of one Michelin Star for the past 2 years in succession – our motivation remains to continuously provide our guests with an unforgettable gastronomic experience” – Alex Dilling

History of Michelin Star in Malta
Established in the late 19th century, Michelin has maintained its benchmark of international food for more than 120 years, recognising some of the greatest restaurants in the world. Malta was first included in the Michelin guide of 2020, alongside more than 25 other countries already listed in the guide. Since then, thanks to the Islands’ high-quality food offering with a long list of astonishing restaurants, Malta has been recognised as a culinary hub by Michelin, now home to 5 Michelin starred restaurants.
