A relatively little-known but very good restaurant on the Sliema front.

The head chef studied and worked in Belgium - and brought more than a few bottles of trappist ale, a few kgs of chocs and a considerably fatter belly back to prove it. His execution and imaginative use of ingredients has indeed quite a Belgian feel to it. It's like being back in Brussels, with a more Mediterranean feel and minus the rain in summer and the dogshit everywhere.

Recommended.

"Situated on Malta’s most beautiful promenade, The Kitchen is one of the top
restaurants on the island. Owned by the international awardwinning Chef Mark
Gauci and his partner Nadja, this is the kind of place that makes you want to
return. Once you enter the inconspicuous front door, you discover a minimalist
yet comforting environment and an atmosphere that only few places on the island
can create. Mark has recently won the prestigious Chef of the Year award. The a
Ia carte menu is versatile, both taste-wise and price-wise."

Unfortunately I haven't eaten here yet, but any organic nazi who is insane enough to mix rabbits and snails - and can actually pull it off - gets my vote.

The next time I'm in Malta I'm def going to check this place out.


"A unique location by the sea in idyllic Mistra Bay.

Outstanding cuisine using mostly organic produce grown on the estate. Truly outstanding gastronomic experience. Using only fresh ingredients and no artificial
chemicals, Palazzo Santa Rosa redefines modern-traditional cuisine pioneering
the use of the finest ingredients from across the world.

Amedei & Valrhona Chocolate, Cafe Vergnano, vanilla from Madagascar, saffron from
Kashmir, local wild herbs and vegetables and their own exceptional Organic extra
virgin olive oil. A must for all gastronomes. Menu changes seasonally. Hundreds
of wines from across the world. Members of the Slowfood Movement. "
