Venus Restaurant — Restaurant in Saint Paul's Bay

We went to this restaurant with my friend last week. Everything was great except we didn’t want to eat and as we understood for this restaurant is important that you need to order main course. So we came and ordered only one starter (it was very delicious) for me and my friend wasn’t hungry. But we wanted to drink good wine so we were doubting if we need 0.375 or 0.7 bottle. The waiter told us that 0.375 is usually for 1 person so we decided to get full 0.7 bottle for both of us. After that another waiter brought us 0.375 bottle. We told her that we wanted full bottle and she brought the right bottle. When paying we noticed they placed in the bill still small bottle not the full one and we kindly asked to fix the receipt and the waiter was very happy we noticed it. Also we noticed they were really dissatisfied and disappointed we didn’t order main course. Next time we came to the restaurant already being hungry and wanted to order main course and there was free table. But the same waiter told us that he remembers us but there is no free table for us. He explained to us that yes there is a free table but there is no chairs for it. Btw near the restaurant they had free chairs just standing which were still there. I want to say that this rule about MUST eating should be gone so do not recommend this restaurant. It’s disgusting to not give some specific people table who didn’t want to eat in some situation (btw next time we wanted to...

This was my second time dining at this restaurant, and I must say I loved it. I will definitely be coming back. The seafood linguine, which I’ve had on both occasions, stands out. The flavour of the pasta is perfectly blended with the seafood, which is just spot on. The fish carpaccio is also excellent, and if you ask, they can prepare it with a mix of octopus, salmon, and other fish without any problem. The service is excellent throughout.

During our first visit, we also tried the octopus, and although it was quite good, I would have preferred if it were prepared in the style we do in Spain, grilled with oil, so I leave that as a suggestion. My companion had the ravioli and commented that, while tasty, they were expecting a bit more flavour compared to my linguine.

The service may be a bit slower than expected, but I believe that’s a sign everything is freshly prepared, which is reflected in the quality of the dishes. Plus, if you’re enjoying a conversation, the wait isn’t an issue, as they serve some bread as an appetiser. The crème brûlée for dessert was delightful.

Overall, everything was great, and as I’ve mentioned, we returned again, and I will...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Venus on the beautiful island of Malta to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday, along with my sister and her husband. I can confidently say that this is one of the finest dining experiences Malta has to offer.

The food at Venus is nothing short of outstanding. Every dish was prepared with exceptional care, but the Beef Wellington truly stole the show—it was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The menu reflects a commitment to quality, with fresh ingredients and an impressive selection that caters to a variety of tastes.

The atmosphere is another highlight. Venus offers a relaxing and pleasant setting that perfectly complements the exquisite food. Whether you're there for a special occasion or simply a nice evening out, the ambiance makes you feel comfortable and welcome.

The service was super professional, with staff who are knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, ensuring every detail of our experience was perfect from start to finish.

If you're looking for a top-tier restaurant in Malta, Venus should be at the top of your list. It’s not just a meal—it’s...
