WRMC 2022 - Another missed event.
Monday, 24th January, 2022, being the third Monday of January, under normal circumstances was going to be once again, the WRMC Restaurant Awards day, in which event we had welcomed over three hundred guests from the top restaurants and hotels in Malta and Gozo, year-in-year-out. This was supposed to be the 10th Anniversary of this highly sought after and awaited event.
The event of January, 2021 had to be missed as a result of the first year chaos caused by the COVID-19 pandemic which hit the industry like a tsunami from March 2020.
2021 has been the year of the COVID Variants, mostly named by letters from the Greek alphabet, with no less than four or five variants from this list, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, the famous Delta, the very fast moving Omicron, and others which had been classified by their geographic name viz: the African, Brazilian, English variants etc.

WRMC News.
The WRMC and the WRMC Restaurants Quality Recognition Awards
were created in 2012 to celebrate restaurants as a culture, to be considered in
the same way as the film, art and music industries. Relevant categories are
judged assessed and reviewed in an attempt to better reflect the true range and
diversity of the Malta restaurant scene: from fine dining innovators to humble
establishments; around Malta and Gozo.
This Facebook Group has well over 21,200 registered members
all of whom can participate in the Group’s open forum; to post and publish
their own, direct and very recent restaurant experiences; as well as to
comment, once again through their own, direct and recent experiences, on posts
and reviews posted by Admin as well as other members. This participation and
constant scrutiny of our own reviews help greatly to arrive at a fair and
deservedly short-list of the top local restaurants in the various categories....

Fine dining - Whither Thou Goest?
It is no secret that fine dining restaurants are run on slim profits anywhere. These establishments are rarely considered to be cash-cows, and taking present economic trends, recession problems that have plagued the industry during the last four years, huge set-up costs, staff-competence requirements and commensurate salaries, and general shifts in customer behaviour, mean that it is even harder than ever to make fine dining pay. That is of course, if one is going flat out, for this restaurant model and concept. There are many who think that they are operating a fine dining establishment, but once visited and reviewed, most fall far short of this model.
