Malta
31. December 2010: Zeri’s Restaurant
Dining at the Portomaso Marina is a great experience – fresh, new, tasteful dishes. As an Amuse Bouche the “Canapés on entry” were a great arrangement which was light and rich in taste because of its combination with lemon and orange. The “Broccoli soup with a light gorgonzola cream and roasted pine nuts” tasted like […]
31. December 2010: Cettina Café Luciano
Tasty, not chewy calamari in a white wine garlic sauce – it definitely pays off to eat seafood in places close to the sea. The calamari I’ve ordered didn’t look too appealing at first but their consistency was great – not chewy at all but really tender (as far as you can call calamari tender). […]
31. December 2010: Gelateria Café Cordina
A nice try of producing real Italian Gelato – but unfortunately not really a successful one. The After Eight Icecream wasn’t too bad and neither was the Amarena but both just don’t come close to the real thing – although one must admit that it’s difficult to find After Eight Icecream in Italy. Still, the […]
30. December 2010: Restaurant The Kitchen
The confirmation that Maltese people are able to cook – the chef of The Kitchen proofed me wrong when I assumed after four days that eating on Malta is more of a hazzle than joy. Apparently – and luckily – I was wrong. The Amusebouche Cauliflower soup with parsley and garlic reduction was a great […]
30. December 2010: Jubilee Café
Hearty fast food-like dishes is what you can find in the Jubilee Café in Victoria/Rabat on Gozo, the sister island of Malta. The Pulpetti (Maltese Meatballs) tasted great as they were enriched with onions and spices (EUR 9.25) – the salad on the other hand was pretty boring and the French fries were just okay. […]
27. December 2010 – 1. January 2011: Antoinette Room @Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa
A good selection of different kinds of food from Continental Europe fits the description of the breakfast buffet at the Antoinette Room @Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa best. You can find everything from a station where they freshly prepare your eggs at your wish to a nice selection of typical English breakfast elements (sausages, hash […]
29. December 2010: Restaurant Blue Creek
A first Maltese dining experience which can be said to be enjoyable and an absolutely stunning view all over the sea! The Amuse Bouche was a little tower of avocado and prawns. While the prawns were very well-prepared and rich in taste, the avocado was a bit hard but the mixture fit perfect. The salad […]
28. December 2010: Restaurant il-Barri
Real hearty Maltese dishes – and very rich in taste. The Maltese Special Mix is a platter for big eaters offering Maltese rabbit stew, horse stew and quail (EUR 15.40). The starter – offered by the restaurant – is typically Maltese and tasty. It’s typical Maltese crackers, Maltese goat cheese (extremely strong in taste), and […]
