The best restaurants Sliema

In a small street that plunges down to the waterfront, almost at the level of the ferries, this local "sparrow" is a small Maltese restaurant renowned for its local specialities, whose main dish is rabbit in red wine. Generally speaking, the menu is short and changeable, proof of freshness, and its fish is also renowned. A good wine list and warm and smiling owners will be appreciated. It remains a good address without pretension but reservation is recommended because the room is small and the place is popular.

We stop there first for its beautiful location, facing the sea and the tamarisk trees that border it. This café-bistro, in the shape of a kiosk with a terrace, also has the advantage of offering pizzas that have the reputation of being the best in Sliema, with a choice of ten varieties, including one vegetarian. You can also try their Maltese soups, which are very good, focaccias, an equivalent of fougasse, and very nice burgers if you are in a more carnivorous mood. It is also a very nice place to have breakfast. Unbeatable value for money.

It's one of the restaurants at the Palace Hotel. Located on the ninth floor, it offers refined and delicious cuisine in a Zen and magical setting, as the view of Sliema by night and the port of Valletta from the restaurant's terrace is breathtaking. It will be the opportunity to taste all the flavours of Asia: Japanese, Thai, Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Indonesian, Korean, Vietnamese and Malaysian. All revisited with an original touch. We recommend the smoked sushi platter or the Pekingese duck.

Hidden in an alley perpendicular to Triq Bisazza Pizza Hut, the first from the seafront, this restaurant is housed in an old bakery. Raw stone, wood, old oven create a beautiful decor. You will eat a very good Maltese cuisine generously served. As a starter, we recommend the local bread with garlic sauce, bigilla. The pasta dishes, with octopus or rabbit, are excellent. Fish (tuna or swordfish with capers) and meat (rabbit, braggioli) follow with the same success. Welcome a little dry, too bad.

A Japanese design restaurant where you can eat sushi. Also a mini-area bakery where you can take a quick breakfast for less than 5 €.

It's one of the Maltese's favorite spots. Frequented by surfers and sports fans who come here to watch various matches on the big screen, but not only. The real bonus of this 3-storey bar-grill is the beautiful panoramic views over the sea, which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own chair. You can choose the higher perspective to enjoy a pizza and a giant salad, or opt for the lower terrace, just a stone's throw from Sliema's little pools, to enjoy a fresh orange juice or a cocktail, before taking a dip.
