Dinner at Venus Restaurant - Friday, 21st Feb.,2014.

Venus Restaurant in Bugibba is most probably our favourite restaurant in Bugibba - good food, good service, good value for money, and co-owned and run by Michael Gera as front-of-house and Mark Briffa Chef-patron, both of whom are passionate about what they do as restaurateurs.
