⚜⚜⚜ Malta | Valletta - Junior Sommelier f/m/d - Risette - Premium Listing (Michelin Selected) - For Sommeliers passionate about wine, thoughtful pairings and genuine guest interaction in an intimate fine dining setting.

Webseite: Restaurant Risette in Valetta, Malta is looking for a passionate Junior Sommelier!

About us:

Risette is more than the name of the restaurant. She was the Lady of the House — a woman remembered for her great skill, warmth and hospitality, and for making everyone who entered her home feel genuinely welcome.

Today, that spirit lives on at Risette, located within the beautiful Casa Ellul in the heart of Valletta. The historic townhouse is also home to nine individually designed boutique hotel suites, creating an intimate setting where hospitality has always been at the heart of the house.

At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Steve Scicluna, whose culinary approach is rooted in classical French training and complemented by Japanese techniques and precision. Inspired by Risette's dishes and the memories surrounding them, the restaurant brings her story into the present through a modern and contemporary interpretation, while remaining respectful of its origins.

Recognised by the MICHELIN Guide, Risette is a place where the story of the house, its cuisine, wine and hospitality come together — and where every guest is welcomed in the spirit of the Lady who gave the restaurant its name.

Your Role as Junior Sommelier at Risette

• Curate and manage the restaurant’s wine selection, contributing to a thoughtful and well-balanced wine offering.
