GULULU
Read moreA well-known address among locals, hidden by the impressive number of restaurants overlooking beautiful Spinola Bay. The staff in their orange and blue uniforms will probably suggest you sit inside, but insist on a place on the upstairs terrace, one of the restaurant's attractions. From there, you can enjoy a light-filled aperitif - those of the surrounding hotels - on a small, intimate balcony, out of sight and very romantic, around an assortment of mezzés ranging from gjena tal-bzan (cheese) to kapunata (ratatouille), all to be spread on crunchy mize dips (Maltese bread). For the hungrier, the traditional menu will do the trick. Finding a Maltese address in St Julians is almost a feat!
