If you’ve ever taken a stroll along the St Paul’s Bay seaside promenade, you’ve likely noticed the Gillieru Harbour Hotel, perched right at the water’s edge as it has been for over a century. What began as a small eatery serving building contractors and masons shaping the village’s coastline has since evolved into a destination for exceptional dining.

Today, that tradition continues at Ostrica at Gillieru, where the focus is on fresh, high-quality ingredients and a dining experience that presents classic Maltese flavours with a modern twist. Whether you're craving the freshest locally sourced seafood from dedicated fishermen, or succulent dry-aged meats, Ostrica is all about celebrating the best of seasonal produce.

The team at Ostrica prides itself on its collaboration with certified suppliers to ensure traceability and minimise environmental impact. Each dish is carefully curated to reflect the team's dedication to quality, freshness, and sustainability, while honouring the community and the environment, paying tribute to the very place where it all began.

Beyond its divine menu, Ostrica also serves as a stunning venue for special occasions. If you're looking for the perfect place for an intimate dinner, a wedding by the sea, or a celebration with friends, the Ostrica team is dedicated to creating a memorable experience. Your guests - or your lucky loved one - will be presented with bespoke menus featuring local delicacies, while taking in the sweeping views of the sea and St Paul's Islands.

So if you need an escape by the sea coupled with some mouth-watering flavours, book your table at Ostrica at Gillieru today - opening hours are between midday and 9 PM from Monday to Sunday.
