We tried the set menu and honestly it was plenty of food for the price. I liked that we didn&#39;t have to think too much about what to order, just sat back and let it come. The terrace view is a nice touch too. Only thing is the seating is a bit close together, but it didn&#39;t bother me much. Good spot if you&#39;re staying nearby.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and ended up staying longer than planned. The vegetarian curry was proper homemade, not the usual watery stuff. Owner came over for a chat while I was eating&mdash;genuinely friendly, made the place feel welcoming. Portions are decent for the price too. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try the salads.

Three visits in one week, that says it all. Portions are massive, I couldn&#39;t finish mine twice. The rabbit stew was the standout, tender and rich. Prices are fair for what you get. Place gets busy around eight, but the food comes out quick. If you&#39;re in Mellieha and hungry, just go.

Nice spot right on the bay. Staff were friendly and the burger was solid&mdash;huge portion though, couldn&#39;t finish mine. The chili on the side was a nice touch. 🌊🍔

The sorbet here is genuinely the best I&rsquo;ve had in Malta&mdash;proper Italian stuff. Coffee was spot on too. Some dishes are a bit pricey for what you get, but I didn&rsquo;t mind paying for the quality. Place was busy when I went, but service kept up fine. I&rsquo;d go back just for dessert alone.

The staff went out of their way to make me a vegan main even though it wasn&#39;t on the menu. Got a fresh salad and a decent eggplant thing with potatoes. My friends ordered the ribeye and seemed happy with it. Service was really attentive. Just wish the vegan option had a bit more sauce, it was a little dry.

The grilled octopus was spot on&mdash;tender, smoky, just the right amount of salt. Sat in the enclosed garden and yeah, a couple flies showed up, but honestly didn&rsquo;t bother me much. Plating looked nice too, almost too pretty to dig into. Would come back just for that dish again.

Sicilian food done right. Had the caponata with fish &mdash; really good. Tiramisu was a solid finish too. Place is small, got a bit busy but fine. If you&#39;re into proper Sicilian flavours, this works.

The seating area near the harbor was pretty comfortable, not too cramped. We grabbed the seafood pasta and fish lasagne &mdash; the pasta had a nice kick to it, plates looked good too. Staff checked in just enough without hovering. Only thing, the chairs are a bit hard after an hour. Fine for a casual stop though.

The lunch deal is &euro;10 for biryani and the beef was really tender, nicely spiced. Good spot if you want something quick and filling without fuss.

Big portions, that&rsquo;s for sure. Went for the angus burger and stewed rabbit&mdash;both solid picks. Roasted potatoes and grilled veg came out a bit soggy, more boiled than roasted. Red wine was average at best. Fine for a casual dinner if you&rsquo;re nearby and hungry. Nothing fancy, but you won&rsquo;t leave hungry.

The tasting menu was a solid intro to Maltese food&mdash;rabbit and ravioli stood out. Owner&rsquo;s a character, made the night fun.

Been coming here for a while now, and the garden seating is what keeps me coming back. It&#39;s just so quiet and green, even when the place is busy. Food&#39;s decent, but yeah, you might wait a bit longer than you&#39;d like. Still, I don&#39;t mind it for a relaxed evening.

The pork belly here was properly crispy, not chewy. That alone made the whole meal worth it. Had the rabbit too, sauce was rich but not heavy. Prices are fair for what you get. Place was busy but food came out quick. Would eat here again.

Gluten-free dough is homemade and no extra charge. Tasted like a regular pizza. Solid find.

Stopped by twice during our stay&mdash;food stayed consistent both times. Nice relaxed vibe, and the staff didn&rsquo;t rush us. Their house red paired well with the grilled fish.

The service was the highlight, honestly. Our waitress knew her stuff about gluten-free options and double-checked everything for my celiac needs. Felt really looked after without being hovered over. Only tiny thing, we waited a bit for the bill at the end. But the care with the food safety part? That meant a lot.

Came here for a special dinner and the food was solid. The chef&rsquo;s French technique really shows in the dishes. Nice touch having the chef stop by the table. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price.

The staff really paid attention when I mentioned my dietary needs. They pointed out which dishes were safe without making me feel like a hassle. Appreciated that.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and honestly left surprised. Portions are huge for the price, which is always a win. I got the homemade pasta and it was solid&mdash;nothing fancy, just properly cooked and comforting. Staff let me take my time even though it was busy. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

Eggs Your Way was decent but the halloumi could use more seasoning. Service was quick enough for a lunch stop. Fine if you need a fast bite.

We stopped by for lunch and grabbed a table near the pool. The fish carpaccio was fresh and light, and my pasta came out just right. Service was friendly without hovering, which I appreciated. Only small thing&mdash;the seating felt a bit cramped near the water. Still, a comfortable spot to unwind for an hour or two.

Came here a few mornings in a row while staying nearby. Coffee&#39;s solid, and the menu&#39;s got enough variety that I didn&#39;t get bored. Prices are fair for what you get. Service was quick even when it got busy. Nothing fancy, but it does the job well.
