  The Gazebo Restaurant & Merkanti Bistro at the Hilton Malta. Gazebo Restaurant   Situated under fairy lit olive trees by the pool, offering the expansive sea views, this restaurant has always been a top favourite with us for al fresco Summer dining, and apart from excellent cuisine freshly cooked to one's liking, the ambience and atmosphere of the place is fantastic and can be enjoyed by groups, families, and couples for special occasions, casual summer dining, as well as it is impeccable for the quintessence of a romantic summer’s eve in the Mediterranean, below the long summer star-filled night sky and balmy summer evenings.
