THE NEW BUCCANEERS
Read moreThis is the restaurant at Buccaneers Guesthouse. On the menu, many Maltese specialities, concocted by the hostess. We take this opportunity to test the Maltese rabbit, which is well done, or the fish offered with generous portions. You can either sit in the small indoor dining room, which is always full, or prefer the terrace. It overlooks a busy road but, in the evening, it's not embarrassing.
PASTIZZERIJA SPHINX
Read moreA counter where you can buy (take) pizza shares, pastizzi, slippers, thick parts of timpana. Very cheap.
SAVINI
Read moreYou notice it barely in descending De to reach the coastal road to Valletta. Yet the people of the region are familiar with this small house (a farm over 300 years old), family and careful, where Italian cuisine is to the credit, in all its simplicity: risotto, penne to tomato and garlic, clean pasta, aromatisées bien skewers, good sauces in Maltese style; more conventional Anglo-Saxon preparations. You will find a wide selection of Italian, Maltese and French wines. High price when you leave the basic pasta.
LOVAGE BISTRO
Read moreIdeal for an evening with friends or a night of romance over a fine meal. The reduced menu of seven starters, six pasta dishes, six meat/fish dishes and four desserts reflects the freshness of the produce. Excellent chef Matthew Schembri adds his own special touch with a number of daily specials. A starter of gozitan cheese wrapped in cornflakes, with a sprig of salad and a touch of honey will be enough to fill your belly and occupy your thoughts. The secret of this fine address: the seasoning and presentation of the dishes. A restaurant not to be missed.
VENUS RESTAURANT
Read moreA minimalist decor that skirts the surrounding aesthetic rather than the omnipresence of fast foods but it will not be the only pleasure. Even finesse on the kitchen side, contemporary, varied and carefully presented. On the menu, seafood, fresh fish, carpaccios and meat or lovely grilled shrimp salad, accompanied by fish. Keep room for the burned cream served with a Prato biscuit, made by the chef. Necessary passage during a stay in Buggiba.
