This was recommended by a local. We couldn't get a booking as they were apparently full, but we decided to turn up and try our luck. Fortunately we were able to join a communal / shared table - which was relaxed and buzzy. Had a delicious pizza with truffle sauce - yum!! Fast professional service, nice decor, great tastes, fair prices.

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.

Visited this place for an evening meal. We got there early and when asked if they had a table for two was told yes but we would have to leave by a certain time which we thought ok at the time. However, the restaurant only got a few tables filled whilst we were there so we felt it a bit unecessary to make such a comment. This place is not cheap, in fact one of the more expensive ones we came across.The food is Lebanese which we thought would be a nice change to experience but we were not impressed, it wa svery salty and not hat enjoyable. The wine was also very expensive and we were not allowed to try it before having the glass filled. It was not very good I have to say.Overall not a very enjoyable experience as the waiters seemed to think they were something special.Not worth the money in my opinion.

Came here for Lunch after seeing the TA rating & we were very impressed..Warm Greeting from the team & we were led to a table on the upstairs verandah, with great views over the Bay.Mrs JLA enjoyed a Mixed Kebab Plate which was plentiful, with both the Lamb Doner & Chicken being tasty & freshly prepared. With a choice of 5x salad items from their extensive selection & chips. The only negative was the bread which was quite tough & appeared to not be as fresh as everything else, which is a shame & not a corner worth cutting. My Maxi Moo Burger was tremendous! Came with chips & I opted to pay the â¬1.70 upgrade for Angus Beef & wow.. 2 patties of tender & juicy beef, loaded with cheese, donner meat, salad & a fried egg!!!Both meals were thoroughly enjoyed & washed down with 2x large beers. The Young waitress was pleasant & attentive with the food arriving in good time.Moos, please dont serve stale bread with your kebabs, as next time I want to give you the 5stars your really deserve..Dear Mr.JLA While we are happy to hear you nice feedback , we are also sad that you had an unfortunate situation regarding bread. I would like to assure you , cutting corners,let alone even itâs worth to cut , is not something that takes place in our business mentality. After discussing with our chefs , regarding your feedback about the bread , they made sure it was baked daily in the morning. What happened was , it was Sunday and we have run out of our regular type of flour which we use for our homemade pastries, and we had to get another type of flour which was available that moment, to save the day , which ended up causing our breads to be harder than it should be. I would like to let you know that Your feedback has taken seriously and it will absolutely help us to improve ourself. As you said , we would be glad to earn your 5- star review no matter what.Therefore I would like to personally invite you Mr. JLA & Mrs. JLA to give us a second chance and let us give you the best service and dining experience what we have known for. We Wish you happy holiday and kindly ,let us know before your visit by sending email to [email protected] Regards Yusuf K

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.
