Some of the best spots to grab a platter and drinks in Malta 🍷
Sometimes you want to add a twist to your usual dinner dates or nights out with the crew; and the perfect way to do that is to share some nibbles and one (or several) glasses of wine, cocktails or a couple of beers. It’s a fun way to change up the vibe, making it a chill evening with plenty of time to dish out the gossip as you eat your way through as much cheese as your heart desires. Here are some of our favourite spots to get your platter cravings sorted. 🧀
In the Capital - Kennedy Bar & Bistro and Trabuxu Bistro
Head down to Strait Street, brought back to life by the bars and restaurants whose tables fill its narrow pathway. At Kennedy’s you can enjoy an evening of music, drinks and good vibes, where the atmosphere is unbeatable and the food to go with it is divine.
A 400 year old stone vaulted cellar in the heart of Valletta offering a variety of cheeses and wines for your perfect night out in the capital. Trabuxu has been serving customers for over 15 years and has built its name in the local foodie scene.
Classic Italian - HiMù
Originally located in Gzira, HiMù recently opened their spacious second chain in the heart of Paceville. HiMù don’t just make amazing pizza, but they know their way around cured meats and cheeses, giving you the proper Italian experience. 🇮🇹
Mediterranean Mix - Vinum Wine Bar and Giorgio’s
Vinum, located in the historic Mdina bastions, has a list of platters to choose from with anything you could be craving and the wine to go with it.
We just all love Giorgio’s - enjoy the breeze on the Sliema seafront and gossip the night away.
Spoilt for choice - Del Borgo
This lovely restaurant in Birgu offers Maltese, Italian, Asian, American, Indian and Greek platters. That kind of variety at Del Borgo pretty much goes unmatched.
Fish & Seafood - Ocean Basket and Fumia Fish Restaurant
For the seafood lovers, Ocean Basket in Qawra is an excellent option, and the location and views go perfectly with the gastronomy.
The same goes for the fish restaurant by Fumia, with lovely outdoor seating atop Tigné Point.
Pub Nights - Cheeky Monkey Gastropub
Grab a pint of your favourite beer at Cheeky Monkey and choose between the meat-based or seafood-based platters, and get your hands dirty with all the nibbles you’re craving - spring rolls, samosas, wings, fries and more.
American cravings - Hard Rock Cafè
Your perfect pit-stop for cocktails and giant, crispy onion rings. Head down to their Valletta Waterfront restaurant for a relaxed evening and good eating. The music at Hard Rock is always just as great as the food. 🤘
Wherever you decide to spend your evening, we’re certain you’ll go home super satisfied - especially if, like me, you’re the type of person who can never decide what to eat and wants a little bite of everything!
What are you waiting for? Text your best mate and let them know it’s time for a platter kind of night!
