Where to Eat in Island of Malta: The Best Restaurants and Bars

October 23, 2017 Dorsey Hagwood

One of the three principal islands of the Maltese archipelago, the island of Malta is the largest of the chain. Its capital Valletta, a lively, bustling city with many buildings dating back to the 16th century, teems with cathedrals, palaces and forts. The impressive Grand Harbour offers a dramatic arrival. The top archaeological attraction is the UNESCO-designated Hypogeum temple ruins, a macabre, 5400-square-foot underground necropolis and the world's only underground prehistoric temple.

Rebekah's Restaurant

Reviewed By Marco_Mamo - Malta

Visited this cosy restaurant on the 13thFebruary. The atmosphere was splendid with a few patrons enjoying a quiet meal. We enjoyed a carpaccio of seabass and a surf-and-turf starter. The taste was exquisite. Then we continued to indulge ourselves in the second course, where we selected a selection of lamb and a plate of Arborio rice with cheese respectively. Again their taste was wonderful.
A nice bottle of local wine accompanied the food nicely. Service was courteous and timely. Well done to the lads working there, though we did notice the lack of female staff.
Overall this was an enjoyable dinner which we savoured!

We read the reviews on trip advisor and gave bouquet grain a try on our first night in Malta Tuesday evening not too busy to start but popular by end of evening, duck and vegetables beautifully cooked and I had red snapper lovely fish. Would recommend the mussels looked lush steaming hot and plentiful. Thank you for a lovely meal, polite staff and the touches of bread and dips etc at the beginning and limoncello at the end gratis a nice touch, best pavlova I’ve tasted too.

Venus Restaurant

Reviewed By Melanie W - Naxxar, Malta

This is a delightful restaurant to dine at. I visited this restaurant with my husband for dinner. We tried the three course meal which was only €25. You have a choice of 3 for starter, a choice of 3 for main and a choice of 3 for dessert. The food was delicious. They obviously have a very talented chef and the wait staff were very professional, welcoming and attentive. The evening was pleasurable and we will certainly be back.

L'agape

Reviewed By Ed N - London, United Kingdom

It's a bit difficult to know where to start as everything was perfect. We were in Malta visiting friends and went to L'Agape on the last night as a group of 4. There is no menu as such - they change the dishes daily so it is a voyage of discovery in some respects! The food was exquisite and plentiful. They offered to do a mix of starters based on that day's menu which was tuna, squid stew, Sicilian sausage stew and bread. The mains we had were tuna steaks, ribeye steaks, beef kebabs and veal escalope - all cooked to perfection. We passed on dessert given the amount of food we tucked away on the first 2 courses. Book early as they are very popular.

Ta' Bertu

Reviewed By HornblowerCruises - Malta

We went there with family and friends and was really satisfied.
It is a very small restaurant with a warm cosy atmosphere. There was only another table dining with us and we also made friends with them.
Food was excellent.
We had the Maltese platter , rabbit ravioli with the best rabbit sauce I ever tasted and
For main we had Rabbit cooked in wine and garlic... all was very good.
It's sort of a one man show... Bertu is the waiter / barman/ chef and coped with everything perfectly
We will be back again.
Well done

Reviewed By Jenny H - Bromley

Three of us visited Zonqor Point Restaurant for lunch today. We were welcomed with a friendly smile and greeting and shown to our table. The order for drinks and the menu were brought very quickly while we deliberated over a wide choice of menu, catering for all tastes and diets. We ordered the three fresh fish special of the day and we were not disappointed. It came with roasted vegetables, chips and fresh salad and was delicious. This was fine dining served with care and we will be returning when we next visit Malta. The best meal to date and very reasonably priced. Thank you.
