Food was amazing and the atmosphere was stellar. This is the place to go if you’re looking for a unique experience away from the crowds and fancy well prepared food at a good price. We got a bottle of wine from Gozo, the vegan dish “Tiam Provençal”, and the lobster ravioli. Both were amazing. Al dente ravioli with serious lobster meat and light tomato sauce. And the vegan dish was all the veggies I could hope for giving a delightful break from all the seafood, pasta, and bread (I love veggies). This is a real ship which we were gi en a brief history. It was the ship Popeye was filmed on, but is nice and fancy, not advertised or gimmicky at all. You wouldn’t know if they didn’t tell you. Full views of the sea harbor. It was perfect! The Black Pearl is quiet and beautiful, a complete hidden gem and must visit.

The restaurant is interesting and unique. We chose tuna because it was highly recommended. The tuna was very tasty and well prepared. The service was very courteous and friendly. We were a little disappointed with the side dishes. Not because of the flavour, but because there was really very little (half a potato with some beans and carrots). To fill us up, I ordered another cheese platter. I should have asked when I ordered and can only recommend it to anyone. If you're hungry after a long day, you should consider ordering side dishes right away. Everyone has to decide whether the price is still right. So I only give only three stars.

Service was great and it’s a cool ship restaurant so obviously the atmosphere is super cool. We ordered the Lobster Ravioli and Penne Alla Caminetto. The lobster ravioli was inedibly salty. Thankfully the waitress took it back and I received a fresh unsalted lobster ravioli. The ravioli itself was delicious but it was covered in a weirdly sweet tomato sauce. It’s almost like prepackaged Filipino spaghetti sauce. We also ordered the calamari which tasted like the squid was on the verge of being spoiled.

Been living in Malta for 2.5 years and never being in this place, what a mistake.. this restaurante is amazing, brings you for an amazing time travel! The ship has been constructed in 1909 in Sweden, have travaled the world during those years until stops in Malta and become a great restaurant. The staff attendance is great too, very attentive. I trully recommend the visit, and if you live here in Malta, dont waste your time with the s*** restaurants in Sliema and come visit the black pearl.

Despite the novelty name please do not think this is a novelty act... For those who wish to have a family experiance outside the confines of a 5 star hotel you will not be disappointed ... The chiefs heart and soul shines on platers to share... Lobster & Sushi prepared and cooked to perfection... Warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble.... Who doesn't love to share fresh fish and wine with the ones they love.. Truely a wonderful time. Thank you....

The Black Pearl is a cool looking restaurant (terrace beside the ship, pub in the ship) with tasty food, from fish dishes to pizza's. As starter we had fresh bread with salmon, tomatoes, mozzarella and rucola, served very neat. We both really liked it. As main course we had the pasta Vongole and the meat lovers pizza. Very different dishes, but both were very nice. The service was good and the prices are normal.
