Sam's Supper Club — Local services in Valletta

I’ve reviewed hundreds of restaurants over the years — the kind that are worth writing about. Some dazzled with decor, others impressed with a story. But rarely do I come across something as quietly powerful as Sam’s Supper Club.

Yes, the food is exceptional. Yes, the wine pairings are near flawless. And yes, the setting is stunning. But that’s not what this review is really about.

This is about Sam.

For over 20 years, Sam has been the name you didn’t know behind brands and kitchens you’ve praised, loved, and followed. From Michelin-starred restaurants in New Zealand to the galley kitchens of private yachts, he’s been serving the elite without ever stepping into the spotlight himself.

Until now.

Sam’s Supper Club is more than a restaurant. It’s a moment. A turning point. A realisation — that after two decades of hiding behind curtains and letting others take the credit, his name deserves to be front and center.

The dishes carry a quiet confidence. No theatrics, just depth. Just craft. Each bite tells you this is a chef who has seen the world, cooked for the best, and finally — finally — decided to cook for us.

Even if there were no view, no charm, no ambiance (and yes, there’s plenty of all that), this place would still be extraordinary. Because what Sam has built isn’t just a dinner. It’s a story. A return. A homecoming.

And I, for one, am grateful to have witnessed it.
