The best restaurants East Coast

Opened in May 2015, everyone is now familiar with this family-run restaurant expertly run by Matthew and Daniella and their chef Kenneth, a fish specialist. The fried calamari with tartar sauce is a killer starter and leaves just enough room to enjoy a wide selection of dishes. The shrimp pasta is very good, accompanied by seasonal vegetables. This is a small restaurant despite its terrace overlooking the port, so it's best to book in summer.

Another safe address of the city side, but which is decidedly lacking in charm side and service. Mediterranean cuisine where seafood products are kings (but meat dishes are also offered). Octopus fried with garlic (€ 12), fish of the day (€ 13) and pasta dishes from 5 €.

A restaurant facing the harbour, with smoke windows, a simple decoration and a large, airy and lively room. This very popular establishment has a good reputation for seafood products. Soignés treated with Maltese fashion: with well cooked vegetables or pasta.

The bar-restaurant of the local club club.

This is an address away from the seafront, yet inevitable if you go through Marsaxlokk. It was opened in the 1990 s by Jon Jon who always serves his guests with the same passion. Sublimated by a green terrace amidst trees and candles, the intimacy is at this chic restaurant. On the menu, wide choice of food but many very good proposals that gourmets will appreciate. To note, a park dedicated to children is attached to the restaurant and will allow them to play.

Don't be fooled by the name, here we also serve fish. The hotel is composed of a tiny room and, in summer, a large terrace across the street. The boss and the posters boast about serving the cheapest fish in the station, hence the success of the restaurant. And it's perfectly true at noon, but in the evening, signs showing very low prices remain and prices increase, double to triple, compared to the stated rates. Mackerel, tuna and others are served from 5 € (at noon) and without artifice, simply grilled with salad. The nearby Mr Fritz, with its terrace, is aligned with prices.
