This is one of my proudest maltese findings. A little restaurant in Valletta, fits a maximum of 36 pax, but the food is amazing, compliments to the chef. I had pork in Dijon mustard sauce (an absolute delight) and my companion had a grilled lampuki fish that was cooked to perfection. Good sized dishes, an extraordinary gourmet delight. They only serve fresh fish and since they took a while bringing the food, I think the pork was cooked on the spot as well. If you have time to enjoy a nice dinner or a Sunday lunch with wine, this place will surprise you. Another plus is that since it is so tiny and closed with A/C it is super cool inside.    

Peppino's

Address: George’s Street, St Julian’s

Phone number: 21-373 200

Fax: 21378324

Peppino’s is not only one of the best restaurants in Malta, but it is an absolute classic. It is always nice to call and reserve an outside table for lunch. The price is just fair,but if you order the special of the day you will absolutely get price/value advantage and you will spend aproximately 10 euros per person. The special tends to be some sort of homemade pasta, for example: pasta shaped like confite filled with truffles in red tomato sauce….mmm… It has happened to me that I tend not to order the special of the day and choose another type of pasta from the menu, I end up paying 7 euros more than my other wiser companions at the table and even when it is also delicious I should have settled for the pasta of the day, because on top of that it’s faster.

You can also try it at night on the upper level that opens during those hrs, with the likes of people like Madonna, Guy Ritchie, Ridley Scott and beautiful costarrican wife Giannina Facio, it is a maltese must. Also the staff is amazing, very professional but yet super warm.

Bianco's Mediterranean Grill & Wine Lounge

Biancos is definately my favourite restaurant in Malta. You can find it in Spinola Bay in St. Julians and it's definately worth a visit. In te 2 months I've been in Malta I've already gone to Binaco's twice because of their fantastic food.

I often get upset about the service on this island as they don't seem used to competition in the bars and restaurants. When it comes to Bianco's though the situation is something else. The service is great. On top of that they have a really nice location and a perfect dining area. When it comes to the food it's definately on of the absolutely best in Malta.
