About this Blog

Hello everyone,

This blog, created on Boxing Day 2016, is an attempt at navigating the Maltese food and restaurant scene in an honest, independent way. The views published are my own, and no sponsorships are given/taken. Furthermore, the review is a snapshot of the experience had - meaning that the place reviewed might fare differently on other occasion.

The blog was born out of a need to have a place to catalogue dining experiences, which are not limited by genre or price range. The aim is to be as comprehensive as possible, with a personal touch.

Pinned to the top right hand side of the blog is a post listing places I still need to visit; let's call it motivation.

I hope you enjoy reading this and that it may be helpful if you are looking for a place to eat on this small island called Malta.

Our old friend, Giuseppi's

Image
Few can boast of a long culinary tradition. One such place in Malta is Giuseppi's. Chef Patron Michael Diacono really needs no introduction here in Malta. He is beloved by all, his recipes shared and discussed. 2016 brought the BIG MOVE for Giuseppi's from its historical location in a townhouse in Mellieha, to the newly opened Salini resort. We had many fears that the new location, in what we feared would be a new, identity-less apart'hotel would remove the soul that imbued the Giuseppi's of old. The cosy tables, the rare to find Sagrantino wine (on the Maltese restaurant scene that is). All that was set to change with the move to the Salini Resort. As it turned out, we need not fear. Yes, it is a stark contrast in decor to the Mellieha townhouse, it is less intimate, but it is not worse or better. It simply is. The decor is what we would call beach-house. Or what we envision a beach-house to be but don't have the space or the disposable income for. The outs...

Ta' Bertu

I just love when a place just takes me completely by surprise, and what you thought would be mediocre turns out to be a total blast. It happened to me when I was a teenager and my parents' idea of a family holiday was to go to watch the military tattoo in Edinburgh. For me it was something stuffy my parents enjoyed, in a place known for rain. Boy was I ever so wrong! It turned out to be one of the best family holidays we ever had - the Edinburgh fringe festival was on and I got to meet Dara O'Briain, explore Edinburgh, the tattoo was a pure spectacle set against the backdrop of the castle, and to top it all off we then went on to explore the Highlands. It was fantastic. I approached my first visit to Ta' Bertu with the same sort of trepidation. "Ta' where?" I hear you ask. Don't worry, I had the same reaction back then. Set on a main road in St Paul's Bay, is this unassuming little place. Blink and you'll miss it and will have to drive the whole ...

Il Corsaro Ristorantino

Image
Yo-ho-ho, shiver me timbers! Although the next place we have reviewed is named after the corsairs, whose ties to Malta run deep - Il Corsaro Ristorantino is anything but a pirate venture. Wied iz-Zurrieq is mainly known as the location to embark on a voyage to visit the Blue Lagoon. It is also a popular destination with the Maltese and with foreigners alike since there are many eateries packed into such a small location. It was with great pleasure that we discovered this diamond in the rough, in the midst of all the restaurants, divers, and birds of prey (honest! there is a man and his eagles and owls who sets up shop opposite the restaurant). Il Corsaro is a tiny restaurant, hence the "Ristorantino" in the name - barely accommodates mores than 5 tables, but don't be fooled by its modest appearance. The restaurant serves up some of the best fish dishes in Malta - freshly caught and lovingly prepared. We have visited this esteemed establishment on a number of occa...
