A Maltese roast is one to savour, with the succulent choice of meat a highlight of the meal together with Maltese roast potatoes, which are one of a kind, especially if they’re cooked in meat drippings and lapped up with a slice of fresh Maltese bread.

And, the menu here is spectacular, their fish is fresh and it is always prepared to perfection. Their sides are also damn good - talk about the crispiest onion bits you’ll ever find on the island. Magic! Pure magic!
