Mediterranean cuisine 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.

Ferretti takes its name from Fra Francesco Maria Ferretti, the man behind the construction of this historic battery in the ^18th century, when the Knights of the Order of St. John defended the island's coastline. The result: this restaurant offers a unique dining experience inside the fortifications. The romantic setting offers panoramic views over St George's Bay and inventive Mediterranean cuisine. Try the wood-fired pizzas, which are divine. A very popular restaurant with the locals, and it's easy to see why: the value for money is astonishing.

Here is a nice and very well located address facing the bay of Marsaskala. At the head of this Italian family restaurant, the chef Gerado will make you discover his version of the Italian cuisine, declined between fresh pasta and fish which were caught the same day. The service is attentive and the dishes are well prepared. You will appreciate the small terrace, on which it is good to sit, in summer as in winter. On the other hand, it is only open in the evening, so it is advisable to make reservations for this sought-after restaurant.

If you want to eat in a friendly atmosphere, meet the staff at Filippo Restaurant. They're a cut above the rest in this little Italian restaurant, which, thanks to its location in Marsaxlokk, has been given a fishy twist. The food is served very quickly and always with a word in French for a laugh from Luigi, the troublemaker on duty. The carbonaras are made to perfection (with an egg, not sour cream). You'll appreciate the small gestures of the attentive staff, especially the Sicilian cake offered by the house for dessert. A truly good address.

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.
