First of all, to clarify what is misunderstood by many people, the place got Bib Gourmand, which is between Michelin Plate and Star awards. Secondly, we have spent there an amazing night what was guided by an amazing Serbian waiter (Thank you mate!). He was spot on and paid attention to every little detail. Thirdly, the food was unexpectedly flattering. Snacks: -the Rabbit liver was very interesting, but definitely wont be my favorite. -Eel was also some specialty I haven’t even seen before. Starter: -Macrela was aestheticly served, very tasty soaked in cucumber ketchup.. it was an art on the plate Main: -Beef sirloin was one of a kind, the grain fed beef had significantly different taste than other sirloin i tried before. With snail on the side, it was an excellent composition. -the Lamb, although they had a different part then supposed to have, was still like butter melting in my mouth. Served with mini caprese sauce that was something phenomenal. Coctails were okay, nothing outstanding but its not a cocktail bar afterall. ( we had 2-3 tho) We paid 130€ for this course. Which is a reasonable price for the high quality and experience. Finally, we decided to come back tomorrow, to try other dishes and desserts from the menu. The 2nd day we chose 2 starters: Starter: -sheep cheese, shimeji mushroom tagliatelle which was so rich and creamy. Pasta places in Italy should try catching up. - MILK-FED VEAL RIB, which was served in such composition delivering the perfect harmony of flavors that i cannot describe with words. MUST TRY!!! Michelin star quality. Main: - Fish de Jour, which was already bringing summer vibes in April.Melting Seabass with fresh sea spinach, citrusy sauce with mussel chowder sided with white asparagus. -Pork Loin was a decent piece of juicy meat with the skin burnt, some fermented grapes and lardo on side in agrodolce sauce. Again, piece of art which was presented with the siders. Desserts: - Tea cream with levander powder accompanied with a solid almond cake. - Fig and cacao nib cake with orange sorbet. Both desserts were highly enjoyable. All in all, it was an amazing experience. I have visited many quality (even michelin plate and star) restaurants at different places all around the globe but this hidden gem is really a one I would come back anytime. Hope they will strive to get that star in the future. Recommendation: One thing that could be improved, is the aesthetic of serving (more colors, well thought concept)!

Excellent food and good service made for a well deserved 5 stars. We started with the tomato and chorizo risotto and the Truffled gnocchi with lamb from the specials. Both excellent and a very generous portion. We then had a rib eye each. Again the portion was very generous and the steak was perfectly cooked to our requested temperature. It was service with a thyme butter, vegetables, mash potatoes and polenta fries. It was delicious but we couldn't finish it. We shared a desert; the chocolate fondant. Again excellent. Definitely recommended, make sure you book in advance though.

I cannot recommend Commando Restaurant highly enough, the staff were very attentive throughout the evening. The menu had enough variety for most tastes including vegetarian, the wine list was also extensive. The meals my wife and I chose, steak and fish were both excellent as were the starters and deserts. It is mid range regarding price but excellent value. The Raddison hotel in Golden Bay a 10 minute taxi ride away recommend Commando to their guests if they want a change from their restaurant's. The WW2 history of the restaurant which gives it it's name is very interesting.

This meal was amazing. Everything we had was so tasty. We had the rabbit croquettes, burrata and scallop ceviche to start. The croquettes were the best I’ve ever had. The mains were just as delightful, we had duck, veal, beef and the mushroom. We didn’t order dessert as we weren’t too hungry although we did regret this. If we visit malta again we will definitely return and get pudding. The staff were lovely and so accommodating, perfect service without being ontop of the table. Definitely recommend for a fancy meal in a beautiful location.

I was here last November and it’s such a great place. Very unassuming at first but it turned out to be the best food and overall dining experience I had during my stay in Malta. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I had the fish (barracuda I believe) and it was so good! The hot bread that’s offered before the main meal was also great. Overall, I had a pleasant evening just before my birthday. Highly recommend, especially in the evening. Cozy and worth it.

Overall this was a somewhat underwhelming experience. The restaurant is itself boasts of a great location just off a pretty square in Mellieha. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly but surely a 30 minute wait simply to place the order is a little excessive. The quality of the food was good, especially the fillet, but not cheap. Expect to pay 55Euro per head for a 3 course meal. The wine was reasonably priced. Overall recommended, but could have been better.
