The pastizzi here are the real deal. Crust flaked apart the second I bit in, proper buttery layers. Ricotta filling was still hot, well seasoned. A local swore these were the best in Malta and honestly I can&#39;t argue with that. Just wish they had more than one type left when I got there.

The San Francisco pizza was so good, my friend and I basically fought over the last slice 😅 Garden Lover was solid too, even for me and I&rsquo;m not even vegetarian. Nice to finally find a spot in Malta that doesn&rsquo;t just give you a sad margherita as the only meat-free option. We stayed way longer than planned just chatting, no one rushed us.

The vegan and sugar-free options caught my eye&mdash;nice to see that variety. Coffee was solid, croissant flaky but a bit small for the price.

Owners were really thoughtful&mdash;packed us chocolates for the road and mentioned a discount for next time. Pretty good service, made us want to come back.

Pizza was solid&mdash;crispy base, fresh toppings. Free appetizers while you wait are a nice touch too. Place gets busy but worth it.

Tucked away in Sliema, easy to walk past. Had the spicy prawn starter, decent kick. Mains were solid, nothing fancy but cooked right. Staff let us take our time. Fair for what you get.

Decent sushi spot. Fish was fresh, and they had a few rolls I hadn&rsquo;t seen elsewhere. The sweet Japanese wine was a nice touch too. Service was fine, pretty attentive. Only thing is it&rsquo;s a bit pricey for what you get, but I&rsquo;d probably come back.

The seating area near the window is pretty snug but the light makes it worth it. I grabbed a flat white and a pastry, both were solid. The lady at the counter actually remembered my usual order from last week, which caught me off guard in a good way. It&#39;s not fancy but the vibe is comfortable enough to stay a while.

The staff handled my gluten allergy without any fuss, which I appreciated. Chicken and sweetcorn soup is genuinely the best I&#39;ve had. Food&#39;s been consistent every time I&#39;ve visited.

Solid local pub, decent beer selection and the prices are fair for the area. Staff were friendly too. Good spot for a quick pint after work.

Lovely space and the juices are spot on &mdash; went with a fresh orange and it paired nicely with my eggs. Brunch was easy on the wallet too. Maybe a touch busy but fine.

The tripe stew (Kirxa) here is proper Maltese. Slow-cooked, rich, and not something you see on many menus anymore. I ordered it with a side salad to balance things out. Portion was generous for the price. My only small gripe&mdash;the bread that came with it was a bit stale. But the stew itself? That&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;d come back for.

This restaurant offers a great selection of wines to complement the excellent food. It&#39;s definitely a place to indulge in a fine dining experience.

This restaurant offers reasonable prices and flavorful meats. The service from Sofia and Mirko was excellent!

The granita with brioche was spot on &mdash; chocolate and pistachio together, perfect for a hot day. Inside seating&#39;s better now too, so it works even when it rains.

Grabbed a bacon sandwich here the other day &mdash; proper generous filling, not one of those sad thin slices. Prices are easy on the wallet too. Washed it down with a simple red, worked better than expected with the salty bacon. No frills, just solid food. Place gets busy around lunch, but worth squeezing in.
