TRELL Restaurant — Restaurant in Marsaxlokk

We came to look at the menu that was standing on the street aisle and a middle-aged waitress with long blonde hair approached us and seated us at a table. The waitress, wearing a low-cut top,was leanening over the table while taking our order, she placed the laptop on our table to take our order.

If you find yourself in Marsaxlokk, do yourself a favor and enjoy a wonderful...

We had high expectations for Trell, but unfortunately the meal was very underwhelming. We ordered the fish soup and octopus as starters — they were fine, but nothing special. Things went downhill with the mains: the swordfish steak was thin, completely overcooked, and dry, while the paccheri with prawns and pistachio had a strong liquor aftertaste that lingered unpleasantly for the rest of the day. The prawns themselves were so chewy they were hard to eat.

For €77, we expected much better quality and flavor. Not even a small gesture or discount was offered despite the poor food. Sadly, we won’t be...
