"Situated near the baroque Manoel Theatre and overseen by chef Steve Scicluna (formerly of London’s Clove Club), this restaurant feels suitably dramatic: bright yellow banquettes against moody dark walls set the tone for a menu that starts with canapés such as balls of gold-dusted fried dough with bursts of langoustine and finishes with desserts like a chocolate and banana mille‑feuille served with a scoop of parsley ice cream. Hotelier Matthew Ellul handles the wine pairing — ask to try some of the island’s improving wines." - Rick Jordan
