A Spanish restaurant backed by sporting legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafa Nadal, is coming to Malta!

TATEL already has branches in Madrid, Ibiza, Dubai, Riyadh and Valencia and it is now being brought to Malta by the Lifestyle Group as part of its new project in St George’s Bay.

The restaurant is set to open in June and offer Spanish-Mediterranean gastronomy, along with live entertainment and a glamorous atmosphere.

Whether Ronaldo himself will pay a visit after the World Cup remains to be seen, although he has personally visited and promoted other TATEL restaurants in the past.

Lifestyle Group CEO Robert Debono said TATEL, along with other restaurants in the project, will help redefine Malta's position on the global hospitality map.

“By bringing together world-class icons like Paradiso, TATEL, and Bagatelle, alongside our own innovative original concepts, we are creating a sophisticated, year-round destination that balances high-energy glamour with authentic culinary excellence,” Mr Debono said.

“Following our successful international debut in London with AKI, this summer marks the next chapter in our journey to make Malta one of the world's top gastronomic destinations.”
