Ta' Marija - Your Gastro Maltese Kitchen since 1964

The place was amazing! Even though we didn’t have a reservation, the staff did their best to find us a table. After 9:30 PM, there was a traditional dance performance (Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays), and afterward, the place turned into a disco — such a fun surprise! The service was excellent, and the staff were super friendly. The food was good too. We tried rabbit and horse meat — both were fine, though the horse meat wasn’t really to our taste. Their house wines was great as well. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend it!

Ta’ Marija is more than just a restaurant it’s a full Maltese dining experience. Family-owned since 1964, you can feel the owner’s passion for the place as he personally introduces the restaurant and shares stories throughout the evening. Alongside the meal, there’s a wonderful local Maltese performance with live music and storytelling, which eventually transforms into a full-on party. Complete with 80s classics and everyone in the restaurant up and dancing. While I wasn’t as impressed with the food itself, the exceptional entertainment and atmosphere made the evening unforgettable. If you’re visiting Malta, this is an experience I would highly recommend.

A brilliant dinner and a show event at Ta’ Marija! A truly wonderful way to experience Maltese traditions — various dishes and dances. We booked a predetermined tasting menu, that had everything from Ravioli to Rabbit meat. The host and servers were excellent— friendliest and kindest in Malta! The owner made us welcome and cozy at his restaurant. Brilliant if you’re looking to get traditional Maltese cuisine and some evening entertainment. My best regards, Sten

I didn’t enjoy the meal there. I didn’t like any of the dishes, didnt enjoy wines and cocktail either. It is a tourist trap. Thankfully guitarists and singer specifically made the dinner nicer. Beautiful music Dancing part was ok But music was at one point too loud i had to go put of it.

The owner was so passionate about his business and it showed. Our greeting made us feel special, the place was beautiful and we had a good table with comfortable seats. Menu was vast and reasonable so we're the drinks. Service was exceptional. This is a great night to visit, with the folk dancers, and then able to dance ourselves. A 10/10 for anyone. Thank you

All the reviews are correct, you receive a very warm welcome and the contemporary folklore evening is a very polished well run experience. The menu is varied with traditional choices and good sized portions. Don’t add salt without tasting first, everything is very well seasoned! The Maltese trifle was lovely. The very loud traditional music to accompany the meal was provided by two traditional lol electric guitars The Cultural show is a bit twee, the dances comprised the same moves performed in a different order with an amusing commentary. There were no men and the costumes were more cortisan, than traditional Maltese folklore. The evening concludes with 30 minutes of very loud step back in time disco- dancing (Jet2 holiday) Overall a pleasant evening and worth €55 per head without a hotel pick up. Note the red Merlot was drinkable and the Maltese white wine requires a less discerning palate. Do go, its an entertaining experience but make sure you check your bill

As a local I hosted some foreign friends at this fine restaurant. Everything was top notch! From the second we entered the staff welcomed us and service was fantastic. The food, local & international was perfectly cooked and may I add the price was great. The entertainment was great fusing local music with a good atmosphere, animation & live performances. For sure will be returning and recommending this venue. Big well done to Ben & all his team. Keep it up!
