Place is overall really good however it is not great as I personally thought it was going to be. Positives:- came 20 minutes early than reservation and they kindly sat us down with no problem at all- wine selection really impressive; wines from Malta, Australia, Italy and Australia - menu choices/selection good, also decent for veggies to. - service at the table brilliant Negatives- Some of the food was not as elegantly presented as the pictures suggest - chicken dish, risotto and tofu lacked flavour and seasoning. Chicken dish was overcooked and dry - some of their dishes (eg pasta) could be put into starter portions. However the cost was just bizarre; starter ravioli 4 pieces and main course 6 pieces but double the price. Made no sense Overall good place, but did not live up to the hype. They did very kindly take the tofu dish off our bill

Visited The Terrace for breakfast to celebrate a birthday, as a non-resident. Service was impeccable from beginning to end. The breakfast buffet offers a good variety of cold cuts, cheese, fruit, yogurt, pastries, on-demand pancakes and waffles and more traditional breakfast items like cereals, bacon, sausages, and eggs.

What a lovely little restaurant. We came here after arriving late into Sliema. The cafe is relatively small with beer, wine and champagne bottles decorating the walls. The waitress could not have been more helpful and helped us select a beautiful Sicilian wine. We had a couple of arancini to start, which were fantastic - I'm no massive fan, but these were certainly the nicest I've ever had. My wife and I then both had the tortelini which was exceptional - my wife thought it was the best pasta she has ever had. Well worth searching out this little gem.

It's a small and cute cafe with friendly staff. I had salmon and avocado on rye bread and it was very tasty. The portion was rather big. Would recommend this place.

Pricey but tasty though nothing extra-ordinary, this venue is architecturally faulted to a level that you cannot hear your own thoughts let alone person next to you. Management should recognize this, respext clients amd invest in some easy and not too expensive aolutions.Dear GeminiSoul,Thank you for taking your time to write a review and glad to hear that you found our food tasty, although nothing extra-ordinary (sic). Sorry to hear that the restaurant was noisy when you visited us. You have to kindly consider that Caviar&Bull is a popular restaurant catering for different occasions and celebrations, so it might tend to get bustling and happy at times. It is really not our aim to silent our guests since most of them are coming to enjoy themselves and have a good time.I assume this happened on a busy weekend when our restaurant is reaching the maximum capacity.Sorry again we didn't meet your expectations but if you would give us another chance in the future,we recommend, you visit us on one of the weekdays, when the vibe is smoother or Sunday lunch when it's very relaxing.We honestly hope that we can have the possibility to change your mind about us.Best regards,

We were in St Julian's Bay for just 1 week and wanted to try many of the top rated restaurants. We ate at Maltese Mama, Storie @ Sapori, Biancos, 1927, Wigiâs Kitchen, Le Majoliche and here. The good news is that they were all very good so if you are staying here you are pretty much guaranteed good food.In the face of some stiff competition we thought this restaurant was the best all round dining experience of our week. Excellent service, beautifully presented and delicious food, lovely setting in an outside courtyard â and good value too.We were given a complimentary amuse-bouche and shared a prawn starter which was amazing. My wife had a fillet steak which was beautifully cooked and I went for the oven baked fish of the day which was also excellent. All washed down with a very nice bottle of Primitivo. We didnât have room for desert!You should east here.

It may just be our bad luck or the fact that we were the only Asian-looking tourists around (and the lads thought we didnât know any better)... The fish and chips were the worst weâve ever had - coming from Australia we have had a few good ones. For 9 euros we got one (rather small) piece of over cooked cod with minimal batter and soggy chips. The fish was so dry and tough even the kids didnât want it. The chips were clearly deep fried in old, stale oil and was awful. And to think we specifically walked for 20min to get to this place based on reviews. There was unfortunately nothing âgourmetâ about the food. Just overpriced, and the joint had nowhere to sit except for two bar stools - and at the counter they asked us: would you like to eat in or takeaway? Eat in where?? If you want good fish and chips there are - as we discovered later - many better options around the island. Like the Sea Shell Fish and Chips in Bugibba and even many of the restaurants in Sliema and Valletta do a good (and fairly priced) deal on fish and chips. For less than or similar to what this joint charge for âgourmet takeawayâ you can get better food and enjoy proper table service (some place for 7 euros with a drink!).A really bad experience for us and we would advise other to be cautious - at least check whatâs in the takeaway box before you walk away..

Looking at both their online menu and the fact that this is TA's #1 for "fine dining", we expected to have something rally fancy. The clues should have been there when we arrived at 8pm - the only people in the restaurant.Lovely modern decor, but a very dated menu - things like duck à l'orange, chicken marsala and beef wellington. Prices are also relatively high by Malta standards.We opted for just a main course. My wife had the beef wellington: nicely cooked except that the pastry on the bottom was raw. The waitress said this was because the beef was medium-rare, but my wife is a brilliant home cook and said that the trick is to cook on a rack so the heat gets to it - sear the meat all round, higher heat for 25 minutes etc etc. I had the beef fillet, which was nicely cooked. The asparagus that came with both meals was way over-cooked, stringy and limp.Considering that we were on our own for an hour, service was quite poor. They did bring us two lots of free drinks at the end, which was nice. I wouldn't go back there again.â¬99 - definitely not worth the money!Dear David,Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and note that we are number 1 on TripAdvisor for fine dining, something we worked very hard to achieve. We are so fortunate that over 92% of our guests ranked us as either excellent or very good with the majority being 5 star.So we are very disappointed that you did not have the same experience and I did send you a private message to discuss your evening at 59.We appreciate your kind comments on our lovely decor and that we gave you two rounds of complimentary drinks. Regarding our "dated" menu these are classics and sit next to many contemporary dishes. However the menu is on the website, social media and at the front door and you stated that you did see the menu before dining with us so I am not sure why the comments calling it dated. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss further and ask you to get back to me on the message that I sent.We would love to welcome you back to 59 and show you what the majority of people experience.
