Msida restaurant Rocksalt on Monday (today) announced the passing of its Chef Patron Tor Holmedal.

The experienced chef, who died on Sunday at the age of 31, was also Head Chef at meal guide plan company Plan H.

In a joint statement, the teams behind the two businesses stated that while Mr Holmedal gave the impression that he was a tough guy, “those who knew him best, knew he had a heart of gold, with a passion and talent in the kitchen second to none.”

“He wanted nothing more than to serve the best and tastiest dishes possible, recognition, appreciation, and love,” it continued.

The teams said that they cared for him very much, and that they were determined to see him obtain a MICHELIN Star for himself, as they “strongly believed he would.”

“We all miss you already Tor. You have left a void that will take quite a long time to heal. Rest in peace, dearest Tor. Gone too soon,” the post continued.

Located on the 10th floor of Park Heights Hotel in Msida, Rocksalt is a restaurant that offers a range of tapas to fine dining. Plan H is a company that offers healthy and ready meals that are prepared by professional chefs to be delivered to clients across Malta and Gozo.
