Sliema Restaurants

Great restaurant. We had the Rabbit (Maltese specialty), and it was great. The kids had their Rib Eye Steak, which was cooked to perfection, and also excellent. Don't miss the starter of a selection of three dips with bread and crackers, also excellent. I would definately recommend going.

Favorite Dish: The local Maltese speciality of Rabbit was definately the highlight.

Three Dip starter also excellent.

We wanted to have crepes for breakfast (at sunday morning, when we had slept little too long..) and this was the only place open serving them this time of the day. Crepes were good, ham was good (nothing too much fat or anything too chewy parts I´m allways afraid of in ham)and lots of cheese, yammy!
Prices were o.k. and coffees good also. It was at the hotel groundfloor, not our hotel, but close to ours.

Favorite Dish: Crepes. But they had delicous looking cakes too! Too bad we didn´t taste those also, but we were mostly somewhere else at the cafe-time of the day.

We like texmex food, so we went here. But we allmost felt sorry we did, becouse the service was so poor! It was kind of special day for us, so it would have been nice to have friendly service. The old man seemed like to be sorry that we came and bothered his day.

Oh, and one thing: Even if the mainfood was good, the potato skins we ordered at first were so cold, that they were even allmost like freezen at the bottom! We were so hungry and sorry about poor service, that we didn´t feel like saying anything.
The mainfood was good, but we didn´t feel like trying the desert after having cold "warm" starters..

Favorite Dish: My husband said his cicken fajitas were really good. My steak was o.k., nothing special.

Tell you the truth, we came here becouse we thought there would be T.G.I. Fridays. We don´t understand why people allways make fun of T.G.I. I think they have very good steaks, my husband loves their texmex and we both do love the potato skins. (And we don´t have Fridays at Finland, so it´s not the same than an American going there at hollidays)
So we were disapointment when we found out it is closed. But we went to the restaurant witch had came in Fridays old rooms (there was even Fridays-signs inside!!).
We had pasta and local dark beer, and it was really good and quite cheap (like usually in Malta, if you come from Scandinavia). Service was friendly. The dessert wasn´t so good, so I would have skipped it if I´d known. It was some cakes, too heavy after dinner, and not so special tasting. I had chokolade cake, my husband had something with apples.
The music was as stupid (MTV from TV) as in Fridays, but in the summer you can eat out. Now it was way too windy for that!

Favorite Dish: Spaghetti aglio e olio was soooo good! Some of you might have noticed my addiction of this food ;) My husband said that the hand made ravioli were also maybe the best food of this trip.

The restaurant is decked out with firefighting memorabilia and is very airy. This restaurant differs from many in Sliema as the tables are not close together and the atmosphere is very relaxed. The restaurant is situated in the basement of the building, down a flight of stairs.

Favorite Dish: The portions are very large and the food is classic but good.
The Penne Arrabbiata was tasty and very good value for money.

6 mornings of 7 we went here for breakfast. They had huge three layers toasts, with lots of cheese, and for example eggs or ham or salami. You could have white or brown bread (it´s not really dark, just a little bit darker), and most mornings they had really good tasty bread. Once I got normal toast-bread, but it was still big. Funny thing was the potato chips coming with bread, witch made us think these weren´t ment for breakfast ;) But we liked it for breakfast, becouse we are use to have heavier breakfast than a croissant or similar. Mostly I didn´t eat the chips anyway. (I do love chips, so it was only too early for them ;) I made jokes about getting a plastic bag for them one morning..)
I had latte macciato every morning, and it was big, and 1,60e! (those are over 3e in Finland!). My husnabd had capuccino, I don´t remember the price, but it was around the same.
They also had good looking cakes, but we can´t eat sweet at morning, and we weren´t anywhere near at the noon, so we didn´t taste them.
They also sell newspapers, magazines, guidebooks, novels, candy, adapters, toothpaste, toothbrushes.. Many small things, that tourists might need. It was allready open at 8 when we went one morning, and closed quite late. Maybe around 22 o´clock.
How can it be so cheap! I have ordered something like this in Finland, and paid 8e!! (When you are a Finn, most places feel so cheap..)
They also had many other snacks, but we tried only some pie, witch my husband liked, but I couln´t eat, becouse it had so much onions in it-I don´t like them.

Favorite Dish: I liked salami and cheese-toast. It was simple bad good,and had enough fillings. My husband ate it with brown bread and it looked good, but I´m allergic to rye, so I didn´t bother to ask if there is rye in it, and couldn´t try it.
The photo isn´t clear, becouse I was ashamed to take a photo of my toast,and did it super quickly :D

3 times I had dinner in the restaurant next to the reception of the Hotel Milano Due, because the restaurant on the 7th floor was closed. Dinner started at 06.00pm and in the afternoon you will get only some smaller snacks, like sandwiches etc.

Favorite Dish: I had a pizza caprizziosa and also a pizza with salmon, both of them were excellent and had a diameter of about 32 cm. The 3rd dish was roasted salmon,that was great as well.

Ta’ Kris Restaurant is a small restaurant full of charm in a qiuet lane in the centre of Sliema. In the past it used to be a bakery – now only the oven has remained. The restaurant is specialized in Maltese cuisine like Braggioli (which are slices of Beef stuffed with meat cooked in a red wine, tomato & herb sauce). The restaurant is quite popular, so it’s better to book.

Favorite Dish: I had the rabbit pasta, with rabbit meat, tomato sauce, garlic, red wine and plenty of onions… good but a bit heavy. I tasted my husband’s seafood pasta and it was really good, with a hint of lemon. Interesting.
