Michelin Bib Gourmand Restaurants in Malta

"Run by a young chef-owner who maintains his family legacy, this honest little restaurant continues to provide warm hospitality and good cooking, just as when it first opened in the 1930s. The name makes sense when you learn it refers to the 1940s, when the chef’s grandfather provided hospitality to the Royal Marines. Stone walls over 200 years old and a vaulted ceiling add to the appeal, while modern décor and a division into two rooms create an intimate atmosphere. Good quality local ingredients are simply but accurately prepared into flavoursome, satisfying dishes with subtle modern twists, and the interesting menu offers something a little different from nearby spots. The wild sea bass with marinated octopus and caponata features a thick fillet fried to perfection with crispy skin and a small ragout of browned, aromatically seasoned octopus with a tender bite; the caponata is fragrant and well-seasoned, with roasted wild broccoli and buttery mash alongside." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
