The Nasch Restaurant at the Hilton Vienna Plaza will be serving a selection of Maltese delicacies during the coming week. This is the result of an initiative conceived by the Embassy of Malta in Vienna.

The event was launched at a dinner on Thursday hosted by the Ambassador of Malta to Austria, Dr. Colin Scicluna, and his wife Annelies.

The chef for the evening was Marvin Gauci who was brought over for the occasion. The Ambassador’s 50 guests included his counterparts from the United Kingdom, Italy, the Republic of Korea, the United States, France, Egypt, Germany and South Africa.

They were treated to a mixture of tradition and innovation: the central theme was a typical Maltese fenkata, presented with the flair and creativity that is synonymous with Chef Gauci. Maltese wines were served with the meal.

The Hilton Vienna Plaza will be serving Maltese food in Tapas format for lunch and dinner throughout the week, with the selections created by Chef Marvin Gauci and produced under his guidance by the kitchen staff of the Nasch restaurant. These will include staples of Maltese cuisine, including bigilla, gbejniet, tadam mimli, bragoli timpana and various rabbit dishes.

This is a unique opportunity to showcase Maltese cuisine, and thereby Maltese culture, at the renowned restaurant of this prestigious hotel in central Vienna.

The Embassy of Malta said that it is grateful to Vienna International Airport, Malta Tourism Authority and Air Malta for their support in making this event possible.
