Marsaxlokk is supposed to have great seafood and this restaurant was no exception to that. In fact, it set the standard for the rest of the places we visited in Malta. We did have to wait for the first and second courses, but a complimentary bowl of thyme soup was brought out for both of us (and everyone in the... More

It was a beautiful Monday afternoon and before going back home I told my friends to have lunch in the South. Since it was a public holiday, none of them had work. We went to Xlukkajr, this being my third visit. We managed a table outside and since it was a beautiful sunny day we enjoyed basking in the sun.... More

Ix-Xlukkajr is my go-to seafood restaurant when in the South of Malta. I have eaten here numerous time and have never been disappointed by the food. The service can be touch and go occasionally, although for the most part it is fine. During my last visit there, it was rather quiet and the service was fantastic, with a complimentary started...

We visited this restaurant for Sunday lunch. Notwithstanding all the fresh fish available yards away in the Sunday market there was a very poor choice of fish on display. We ordered king prawns which was one of the specials. Each portion consisted of about five prawns or varying size & colour. They were watery & tasteless. Recommend that you try... More

A very professional waiter service was provided. Since it is the low season the restaurant was exclusively for our use. The food was good although I recommend that you avoid the lobster since it tastes too much of a frosen article. None the less this item was still well present/plated. Meantime a thumbs up for the dessert very tasty.

This corner restaurant has beautiful and simple decor, attentive staff and delicious food. Views of the harbor and the square with the church are available from any seat indoors and if there is warmer weather, seats outside. Fresh seafood served with nice presentation and good prices.

Dropped by for dinner on a very wet and windy Friday after Christmas. Did not expect to find such a great selection, quality of food and level of service. From starter to finish, there was nothing to comment on, except to pass on compliments to the chef. Will definitely recommend and go back.

We have been to this restaurant several times for lunch and twice for dinner, and it was always a good experience, it never disappoints. Been today for lunch. The place was empty, but it is not usually so. Specials were explained to us but we chose from the A la Carte Menu. Maltese bread was offered with three different homemade... More

The restaurant is very beautiful and quite quiet for a romantic dinner. The servers were very polite. One server was very knowledgeable about the specialties of that day. The food was delicious and presented very beautifully :).
