Palazzo Preca Restaurant, Valletta - Lunch on Saturday, 3rd August, 2013.
An enjoyable lunch at Palazzo Preca Restaurant, in Strait Street, Valletta, Saturday, 3rd August. Arrived without prior reservation at about 1 p.m. after doing a tour of various establishments in the City, (see Talking Point-Valletta on this wall), and although the establishment was fairly busy, a table for six was set-up in the red room for us. The air-conditioning was thankfully working efficiently, new units having been installed, so we were told, and which provided a massive relief from the hot sun outside.
Menus and wine list were produced, cold water ordered and served within minutes, as well as two large complementary platters of pre-ordering antipasti - with bruschetta, bigilla, salad, garlic beans and water biscuits. Food ordered: starters - two servings of tempura king prawns served in scallop shells with a marvelous tangy sauce; one caprese salad...

Chapter One Restaurant - Dinner Friday, 30th August,2013.
This restaurant was last featured here in August 2012, just over a year ago, but has since then been reviewed by us on a number of occasions. One thing that is to be said about Chapter One Restaurant is, that the food quality is always consistently of a very high standard in the quality of the ingredients used, the cooking method, the preparation and the presentation and above all the taste that cannot be faulted on any score.
Hiram Cassar is the Chef-Patron who together with his brother Jacob who is the front-of-house manager and Maitre D' form an excellent team to provide that outstanding dining experience.
The menu is not what one might call a vast affair, which in its own way is commensurate with that fine dining feeling, and dishes offered are all targeted to provide that above average gourmet experience.
