Charming family-run restaurant where the owners themselves provide service, making the experience feel personal and welcoming. The cuisine is traditional Maltese, prepared with fresh, local ingredients and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Their homemade liqueurs are also a must-try!
The concept of the restaurant is unique, offering a dining experience that stands out. A touching moment was meeting the owner’s wife, who is Ukrainian - when she heard her native language, she got emotional 🥹

If you’re in Malta, this place is a must-visit. You’ll leave completely satisfied and with a warm heart🫶

Wow wow wow! Fantastic concept allowing us to get a sample of how amazing Maltese food can be.
We went for lunch and not only was the food DELICIOUS but the service was exceptional too. Thomas was very friendly and welcoming, talked us through each course but also had so much knowledge about the wines. We did not opt for the wine pairing but went for wine by glass instead. Thomas gave us recommendations based on what we like as well as what may go well with the food. All 3 wines we tried were brilliant!
Loved this experience and would highly recommend it. I also felt it was very good value for money considering the quality of food & service that you receive. Thank you!

Great experience! They have a set menu for lunch and another for dinner. That's all you have. A 5 course surprise meal.
Each and every dish was delicious. Maltese food is perfectly cooked and really fresh and genuine. The host brought each course and took time to explain the dish.
The venue is traditional and gives you the feeling of stepping back in time.
The service team is lovely and very welcoming.
Absolutely a must, especially if you are visiting the island and looking for a good Maltese meal.

The tasting concept works really well! It was interesting to try these dishes, and it’s great that they’re served in a way that makes sharing easy (especially if you’re a pair). I think it’s definitely worth a try – the meals were delicious. Some dishes suited my taste more than others, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was a great choice to visit this place

We decided to try this restaurant because we only had a short stay in Malta and wanted to try different local foods without committing to a whole dish. The tasting menu was perfect for that. We got to try the famous rabbit, fresh seafood, nice dips and spreads, and more. We were completely stuffed by the end. It is a bit pricey for very homey, unfussy dishes. Still, it’s a good option if you want a nice variety of Maltese food. We had leftovers to bring home.
