Lovely terrace right by the sea, food&rsquo;s still solid after all these years. Card payment at the bar feels a bit dated though.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the lamb shank with grilled veggies. Meat was properly falling off the bone. Place got pretty busy but the staff stayed chill. Bay view from the table was a nice bonus. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Tucked away on a side street in Xlendi, so it&rsquo;s quieter than the main strip. Had the grilled calamari and fried rabbit &mdash; both were fresh, tasted like proper home cooking. Portion was decent for the price, which surprised me. Not fancy, but you&rsquo;re paying for the food, not the view. I&rsquo;d go back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

Cozy little place right on the square. Food was spot on, and the staff handled the rush really well. Just wish we had a bit more room at the table.

The ribs and seafood pasta were proper good. View over the harbour is stunning, just a bit busy with tour groups when we went.

The salmon rolls were so good, I kept ordering more 😅 Price felt fair for the quality, honestly. Good spot if you&#39;re out with friends and want something easy.

Stopped here for a full English breakfast and honestly it hit the spot. The eggs were done right, bacon crispy without being burnt. Waitress was super friendly too, checked in on us a couple times without hovering. Place was pretty busy but we still got our food quick. One of the better breakfasts I&#39;ve had here so far.

The rabbit stew was proper comfort food. Rich sauce, meat fell off the bone. Place has that unpretentious vibe, mostly locals which I liked. Only thing is it got a bit warm inside when it filled up. But honestly, that stew made up for it.

Nice view, food was okay. Service felt a bit all over the place though. Got our food last even though we ordered first. Calamari wasn&#39;t crispy either. 😕

The steak tartare was properly seasoned and tasted fresh. Asparagus came with a sesame sauce that kinda took over the dish though. Staff checked in on us a few times. Caught the fireworks from our table which was a nice way to end the night.

Great spot for drinks with friends, that view is hard to beat. Staff were super friendly. Food was a bit hit or miss though, beef olives were great but the fish was meh. Toilets could use some work 😅

Service was genuinely friendly, not the fake kind. Burger came out a bit overdone but the whole vibe made up for it. Easy stop if you&#39;re staying at the hotel upstairs.

The octopus starter was spot on &mdash; tender and fresh. Daniel and Lynn took care of us well. Nice spot for a relaxed dinner with a decent glass of red.

Lovely old palazzo setting, staff really looked after us. Rabbit was decent, though a bit heavy on the salt for me. Worth a stop if you&#39;re after proper Maltese food.

The seabream in buttermilk was lovely, and the prawn tortellini in bisque really stood out. Beautifully presented too.

Lovely spot right on the harbour, watching the traditional boats while you eat. Staff were friendly and the owner gave us a free limoncello. Chocolate fondant was decent, maybe a bit pricey but fair for the view.

Stopped for coffee and ice cream &mdash; both were solid. Service was quick, staff friendly. Nice little spot to just sit and take a break.

No printed menu, just whatever the chef feels like that day. Our server walked us through every dish and it honestly felt like a dinner party at a friend&#39;s place. Great spot to bring a few people.

The mussels in prosecco broth were spot on. Octopus was tender too. Didn&#39;t care much about the view, but the food did the talking.

The pasta trio was the reason we came and honestly it didn&rsquo;t disappoint. The waitress was lovely, and the chef actually came out to talk through the specials which felt personal. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price. Still, a solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

The calamarata was huge and really well done. Sitting by the water made it better. Waiters were lovely too. Probably my favourite meal this trip.

Came here after a mate told me about it. The linguine with baby calamari was decent, pasta cooked right. Goat cheese starter was good too. Place is small, got that old-school Maltese feel. Service was fine, nothing fancy. Prices fair for what you get. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area.

Stopped here after Blue Grotto. Seafood was fresh, no complaints. Tried the beetroot burger from the specials&mdash;decent option if you&#39;re not into fish. View over the water is the real draw. Service was fine, nothing slow. Prices fair for what you get. Solid stop if you&#39;re in the area.

Been here a few times now and the char-grilled steaks never miss. Cooked exactly how I asked. Bay Street location makes it easy to pop in. Menu&#39;s huge but the platters are decent value.

The pasta was fresh, really well cooked. My carbonara had that silky sauce, not the clumpy kind you get in tourist spots. Staff left us alone until we needed them, which I appreciate. Prices felt fair for what came out of the kitchen. Only thing, the place got a bit loud by 8pm, but that&#39;s on me for going at peak time.
