Dinner at Fork & Cork Restaurants - Rabat, Malta.
When we titled this review "New kid on the block", we did not want to imply that the Chef-Patron who is running this establishment was someone new on the culinary scene in Malta, but simply to introduce one of the newest restaurant openings which is Fork & Cork Restaurant at Saqqajja Hill, rabalt, Malta. In fact, Carl Zahra, after completing his courses at ITS, he cut his teeth in the practical culinary sphere with Daniel and Andrew Debattista at Rebekkah's Restaurant, when these two brothers were operating it, then Corinthia St. George's Bay where he was the Chef at Grill 3301, and after this latter restaurant closed and passed to new operators sometime in April this year, Carl decided to give a go on his own and Fork & Cork was born. This establishment has only been in operation about two months, but has already att...

Dinner at Caviar & Bull Restaurant - Corinthia St. George's Bay Complex, St. Julian's.
Friday, 12th December, 2014.
It was a veritable surprise for us when at the beginning of this year, we came to know that one of our favourite restaurants and a WRMC Silver Spoon Restaurant to boot, viz: Grill 3301 was being closed down. The restaurant had always prided itself through excellent cuisine, and highly trained staff. The ambience of the place with open views of the Dragonara Casino by night was phenomenal.
Having said this, we were more than pleasantly surprised to come to know, that this property was being taken over by no other than Marvin Gauci of Tarragon. The place was opened in May, of this year under the new name of CAVIAR & BULL. Coping with two, top class restaurants is no mean feat for anyone, and we were on tenterhooks to see how this was going to work out, knowing Marvin's passion for culinary adventure and q...
The Tabloid Restaurant at The Palace Hotel, Sliema.
Sunday lunch at The Tabloid Restaurant - Sunday, 9th November, 2014.
The Sunday buffet lunches for the present season have well and truly taken off in style since the first week of October as these seem to be well sought after by the Maltese public. Competition is harsh, and every establishment I'm sure endeavours to give better quality as well as different innovative cuisine offerings from one year to the next.
Last Sunday we enjoyed a good buffet lunch at The Tabloid at The Palace Hotel in Sliema. The restaurant was massively fully booked both in the restaurant as well as in the annexed hall, and even a larger table was specially set-up in the adjacent "Talk of the Town Cafe".
Food stations were set-up in two locations to cater for both halls with antipasti stations; a Lebanese food station and Asian station; soup and pasta stations; children's corner; carvery with ro...
Round-Up of restaurants visited in October, 2014
Lunch at Cardini Pizza, Pasta, Grill Restaurant, Sliema.
Wednesday, 1st October, 2014.
Cardini Restaurant on Tower Road, Sliema, has for some time been one of our favourite restaurants when we happen to be in the area. We've been a number of times for lunch, which is a quieter time weekdays than during the weekend, but the place is normally quite well attended in the evenings. The menu gives a range of pizza which are very large; good portions of pasta dishes which can be taken as starters or main courses; antipasti; grill; and fresh fish which is delivered daily.
Portions are normally very large, with massive side servings of freshly fried chips; roast potatoes, vegetables in season and fresh salad with all main courses of fish and/or meat, all included in the menu price of the main. A daily specials menu is also made available with whatever is found fresh on the day...
