Description

Facing the Basilica of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, the restaurant’s modern, elegant decor provides the perfect foil to the refined score. At the helm, chef Steve Scicluna demonstrates his high-flying technique, clearly influenced by the French school. Some dishes (like rabbit) pay homage to Malta, or to Italy, with ravioli taking the spotlight, together with a subtle sprinkling of Japanese ingredients, creating a culinary reflection of the chef’s diverse past experiences, all presented with unfailing elegance.
