Family Sunday Lunch at the Oceana Restaurant, Hilton Malta - November, 2012.
There is no doubt about it that one of our favourite, Sunday lunch haunts, especially once the new buffet season starts in earnest every October, is The Oceana at the Hilton Malta, and by the end of the season, sometime at the beginning of June, we would have visited this venue several times, apart from the odd special occasion lunch as on Mothers Day, Easter, Christmas or New Year's Day lunch, which we also like to spread, to other selected establishments as well.

In recent years Marsaxlokk has become a mecca for fish restaurants, resulting in everyone that owned a house on Triq Is-Sajjieda wanted, or want, to open a restaurant. Harbour Lights continued to operate under this name until some three years ...

Family Sunday Lunch at The Tabloid Restaurant, The Palace Hotel, Sliema, November, 2012.
We have been reviewing the Sunday buffet lunch at The Tabloid, year after year for over three concurrent years, as well as we have been to this place for special occasion lunches, since it opened its doors. It is one of those establishments at which cuisine quality, level of service, freshness of ingredients, attentive preparation and presentation have been exceptionally consistent on a high level throughout. As in previous years, this season's offerings presented an exciting and enjoyable dining experience, that would invariably delight the most discerning diner.
The Tabloid's Sunday buffet lunch, initially started off with the lunch and cuisine displays being all set in the actual restaurant section as one enters from the lobby, but due to massive demand in recent years, the table arrangements were set-up at The Tabloid main sectio...
