Set in an enviable position at the entrance to Mdina, this restaurant stands out by its terrace with sweeping sea views and the rich, expressive Mediterranean cuisine of chef Sheldon, that has earned it a reputation as one of the island’s finest establishments. The staff is always at hand to help you choose between locally sourced fish and expertly prepared meats. Signature dishes include yakitori-style octopus and Rossini-style beef fillet. While in the area, make sure you visit the nearby historic attractions; we also recommend getting a taxi to Mdina, unless you are staying nearby, as parki
