Salia — Restaurant in Saint Paul's Bay

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Salia Restaurant in Qawra, Malta, and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, the restaurant’s modern yet cozy ambiance set the perfect tone for a memorable evening. The menu offered a diverse selection of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, each one prepared with care and bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. The attention to detail in both the ingredients and the presentation was evident, and every course was a delight to the senses. The balance of flavors in each dish showcased the talent of the chefs, making for a truly enjoyable dining experience.

I would also like to extend special appreciation to the excellent waitstaff, Prakash and Michael, who made our experience even more memorable. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and warm hospitality were truly remarkable. Both went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring we were comfortable throughout the meal. Their exceptional service added a personal touch to the experience, and their friendly demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel at home. Prakash and Michael’s dedication to their craft is a testament to the high standards of service at Salia, and I will certainly be returning for another...

It’s been year since I’ve been away on my foodie page but here we go, I am back. And what better start that this Incredible restaurant. I had the pleasure to have a dinner tonight in @salia.mt which is all a about Mediterranean food with such a nice Italian flavours. I got the sharing menu and I started with antipasto which was incredible, the bread was so fresh as well as the sauces, then we got the risotto con carciofi, we really loved these ones, we mixed both and the flavours were so tasty and soft, and the portions are perfect . As a mean course I chose the “Guance de Maiale” and I don’t regret it was a party o flavours in my mouth, the mix between salty and sweet was so good, the pork was very good cooked and the bramley apple pure was very good to balance all the textures and flavours. It was so soft and tasty. Last but not least, the dessert was wonderful, small portions but adequate to end a night of many flavors and textures, the presentation was impeccable, the dish looked beautiful, fresh brownies and what better than ice cream to accompany them, the biscuits were hot and crispy 😋. In addition, the staff in special Gabor and James were always efficient, friendly and smiling, the meal times were fast, and also the portion of wine was perfect to accompany the...

So as a person who lives in italy for 4 years I have to say this food is not at all italian . We didn't have to pay as it was included in our hotel but if you want to go there as a non guest I won't recommend the food at all because :

Focacia was chewy and old same as the beef that took me more than 30 min to chew and was almost choked on . The first dishes as it was the bolonese fusili pasta was just a super market one and the baked potatoes were raw inside. We were just happy with the red wine which was supposedly a cheap tap wine .

P.s : the desert was just some weird burnt pastry with date inside with a bad canolo (probably Indian cause there was something weird inside not the cream)

If you are a guest in the dB hotel consider booking other resturants for dinner cause here just gives bad name to Italian cuisine and makes you tired of...
