A cozy little restaurant with an Italian air, Giuseppi's was recommended on the net, and (luckily!) my wife and I decided to give it a chance. Besides the set menu, the restaurant offers an assortment of chef's specials - a lot, actually! My hat's off to the waitress for remembering all of them! They all sounded delicious, so choosing one was tough, but the result certainly lived up to our expectations.
Risotto and fish "frittes" for starters, rabbit and lampuki (fish) as the main, accompanied by a nice bottle of Maltese white wine (Isis). With some salad on the side and a cappuccino to finish off the meal, it came to 85 euro. A bit pricey for Malta, but well worth it!
Favorite Dish: I opted for one of the (many!) chef's specials for my main - a local fish called a lampuki, and a great choice it was! Served with a tomato coulis/relish and fried potatoes, this lovely fish simply melted on the tongue.

Punta Rena serves texmex dishes and is located along the road that leads to the beach. They have a terrace which offers nice view to the bay.
Favorite Dish: Can't comment on the food, we only went there for a drink once.

A cosy bar in the hotel where except all other beverages you can try Kinnie as well. This is traditional Maltese soft, non-alcoholic, bitter-tasting drink, made from bitter oranges and aromatic herbs, and is caramel in colour.

We recently had our wedding in Malta and after being let down by our hotel for a reception venue. We were desperately searching round for a nice restaurant to hold our reception. Luckily we found fruit de mer in mellieha bay.
Run by Antionette and Charlie we couldn't of asked for better hospitality. Evan at such short notice Antionette and Charlie provided ourselves and our guests with the warmest welcomes and catered for a party of 28 with some of the best service we have ever experienced, nothing was to much trouble.
The food was amazing, fresh, local produce cooked to perfection. All of our 28 guests were praising the beautifully cooked and presented three course meal, even some of our more critical guests continue to praise the food served at fruit de mer.
This beautifully set out family run restaurant is full of charm, the warmest of welcomes and with exquisite food that will have you going back time and time again. We Couldn't of asked for a better ending to a perfect wedding in malta, Antoinette and Charlie really do run one of the most charming restaurants we have ever visited and we strongly recommend anybody visiting Malta go along to Fruit de mer to enjoy the warm hospitality and amazing food.

The Le Mar Grill House / Pizzeria / Pasticceria / Gelateria, is one of the most popular places in Mellieha Bay, ideal for family outings. Here you can savour mouth watering pizzas, grills, light snacks, home made desserts and ice cream. Sitting outside on the terrace you can also enjoy a nice seaview.
Favorite Dish: We ate here twice during our week in Malta. I'd recommend the pizzas, I had a vegetarian one and it was delicious.

Small restaurant specialized in Maltese seafood, pasta and other dishes also available. Located on Marfa Road, near the Luna hotel. The service was very friendly and quick.
Favorite Dish: I had fish fillets, unfortunately can't remember the name of the fish... It was served in a white wine sauce with potatos and vegetables and tasted very good!

Very pleasant restaurant halfway up Mellieha main street. Small, intimate, seemed to be busy most nights (a good sign: the customers included many Maltese). Variety of dishes, including a huge number of specials which were rattled off by our waitress (no written list, which was made choosing difficult). Fish and meat dishes, local and Italian cuisine. Bread & herbed butter served whilst food was being prepared, as in Italy.Good portions, well-presented. Sensible wine list.
A bit pricier than most of the other eating places locally, but good for a special meal. I suspect you'd have to book in the season, if the number of customers out of season is anything to go by.

Further down the hill towards the church. More restaurant than bar, though it has a TV (sport, I think).
Maltese, Italian, English dishes. Very good pizza, the proper thin-based type. Friendly service and large portions (though Mellieha was nearly empty whilst we were there, so I suspect the staff were grateful for the light relief of customers). Non-smoking inside, like everywhere in Malta, but with a few tables outside where smokers can sit (amid traffic fumes and noise).
It looks better than the photo might suggest when it's open!

On main street in Mellieha, has a bar with seating and a restaurant upstairs. Run by a very pleasant couple. A wide variety of dishes available,including Maltese, Italian, English (if you must). Fish dishes a speciality, I think; catch of the day is displayed for your choice as you enter the upstairs restaurant.
A good local choice with a friendly atmosphere.
Favorite Dish: Fresh fish cooked well and expertly filleted at your table. Most impressive (I had the black bream).

Favorite Dish: The dessert was a surprise from the house.
And the taste was even more than we expected.
Soft sheets of dough with a soft chocolate flavour cream, covered by a downy vanilla-coconut cream was the perfect choice for closing this special dinner.
