Excellent. Beautiful spot, beautiful food, super reasonably priced.

Travelling to Malta from Australia, as someone with Maltese heritage my partner and I kept going back again and again. Staying in the St Paul’s Bay/Bugibba area it was a shame to see so few traditional restaurants.

This place had everything, from fresh grilled fish with chips and salad, steaks, generous platters and of course the traditional Maltese favourites like ravioli, grilled lampuki fish (in season), rabbit and octopus.

Watch the sunset over the water with a wine or Cisk (local Maltese lager) and the Maltese platter which comes with olives, cheeses, capers and bagilla (traditional Maltese bean and garlic dip), all served with fresh crusty bread spread with Kunserva (tomato paste) and olive oil.

Get there while there’s still plenty of sunlight because it’s a gorgeous place for a swim too, it’ll be you and the locals because they know it’s a great shout. It looks humble, but I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. We loved it! If you want a genuine Maltese island dinner, get out of the tourist traps of Bugibba and try this place!
