MÉZ — Restaurant in Saint Julian's

After we took our gorgeous dinner @Rafael, we needed to walk those beautiful calories down... So we found Méz: funny, because in Hungarian language the word MÉZ means HONEY. 🍯

As always usual, the Ladies went to Toilette, so I had a bit more time with the Bartender, to find our perct Mixture à notre arrivée au soir... 🔱

[Back in the days, I've been working in a craft cocktail bar in my hometown, and I remember one of the most badass Prohibition cocktail; but the name of the Drink was not running up on my tongue, even though I felt THE recipe in my mouth.]🍸

⏳️

Let me copy for You - Dear Reader - from Wikipedia some main information about this Classy Cocktail:

"The LAST WORD is a gin-based Prohibition-era (1919-1933) cocktail, originally developed at the Detroit Athletic Club. John Frizell revealed later that the drink was slightly older predating the prohibition era by a few years. It was already offered on the club's 1916 menu for a price of 35 cents (about $8.22 in 2019 currency) making it the club's most expensive cocktail at the time. The cocktail however fell into oblivion sometime after World War 2️⃣. While the drink eventually fell out of favor, it enjoyed a renewed popularity after being rediscovered by the bartender Murray Stenson in 2003 during his tenure at the Zig Zag Café and becoming a cult hit in the Seattle area." 📖

Absinthe-wash! in the chilled Coupette. Pour 4.5 cl Nordēs Gin into that shaker. 2 cl Yellow Chartrause. 1 cl Ricard, for the smoother touch of the Anise.

He was also correct with the prizes, but far away downstairs in kindness & service-moral from the crew of Rafael.

I am happy to be in Malta on the last day of...

My recent visit to the newly opened Mez at Spinola Bay was an unforgettable journey of taste and ambiance. This dining spot is perfectly positioned by the iconic love sign, surrounded by gondolas and twinkling lights, making it an ideal romantic retreat.

Ambience: Mez’s interior is a dreamy blend of oceanic themes and coastal charm, creating a serene and enchanting dining atmosphere.

Food: The culinary offerings at Mez are a testament to its inventive spirit. The Lotus Chips and Squid appetizers set a high bar with their perfect balance of texture and flavor. The main courses were a parade of delights: the Thai steamed fish and a unique cauliflower dish were both impressive. The coconut curry prawns and the innovative beetroot raita were simply sublime. Each dish was a celebration of flavors, beautifully presented.

Drinks: The cocktail menu at Mez is an adventure in itself. Each drink was a creative concoction, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal.

Service: Special commendation to Jerry and his team for their exceptional hospitality. Their attention to detail and warm service greatly enhanced the overall experience.

Overall: Mez, being a sibling to the renowned Naanbar in Valletta, lives up to its legacy with high-quality dishes and impeccable service. This place is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique dining experience in Malta. A solid 5-star rating for Mez – can’t wait for...

We went to this restaurant in the middle of June and we were amazed of how great this restaurant was and how we never heard of it before. We walked in with no reservation and they accommodated us in a terrace table on the Spinola Bay view. The staff were very nice and the service was unexpectedly good. The food was delicious, even though at first we seemed to be a.m but disappointed at the menu , which all the dishes were containing an Indian style. However we asked for recommendations and they were very helpful. They also told us that they do not use Indian spices but instead they use the one which come from Europe. Overall we enjoyed the food. The atmosphere was quiet and lovely. The staff were very attentive and came very often to fill our wine and water glasses, and also asked if we were satisfied and wanted to order more. It was a different type of cuisine and we never knew we were gonna...
