Locally sourced, traditional Maltese cuisine worth visiting: Restaurant Legligin (10. September 2024)
The Legligin is apparently one of the oldest restaurants on Malta, so, it was clear that I had to give this place a try. And it’s really a bargain! For only EUR 35.00 you get a “lunch tasting menu” and for EUR 30.00 you get the “wine pairing”. So, frankly, it is definitely worth visiting! […]

A restaurant with an amazing view onto the harbour and two Michelin stars: Restaurant ION Harbour by Simon Rogan (9. September 2024)
The ION Harbour by Simon Rogan is a great find! Not only because it has two deserved Michelin stars, but also because the view onto the harbour is absolutely breathtaking. I went for the “full tasting menu” (EUR 195.00). However, until it was served, it was a bit of a hassle at first. Somehow, I […]

Where you get a tasting menu for two as they are not equipped to just serve one: Restaurant Grain Street (8. September 2024)
The Grain Street is definitely a place worth visiting when you’re in Malta – the place is simple, but offers a nice “Tasting Sharing Menu” (EUR 65.00 per person) with a good wine pairing called “Sommelier Experience” (EUR 35.00). Now, one thing ahead, if you go alone, you might end up having way too much […]

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 […]

27. December 2010: Restaurant Aaron’s Kitchen
Good fresh tuna fish – and a lot of average other food describes Aaron’s Kitchen best. The starter brought to us by the kitchen was some kind of garlic bread and chips accompanied by some humus-like sauce. Not bad in combination but nothing close to the real Arabian humus. Fresh mussels from the sea with […]
