We only had soup and desserts but the soup had no flavour (soup of the day was vegetable soup) and the red velvet cake was dry and over flowing with food colouring! Cappucinos were flat too. All in all a poor experience especially when I compare it to other visits to this quaint place! The owner, who is usually there... More

I've been there two months ago. We haven't booked a table and the place was very busy. Luckily they have offered us a table on the outside , they have set out a table for us near a heater as it was pretty cold. What i really enjoyed was the great winie selection , the apetitising platter and the fact... More

nice little wine bar in a quiet area of balzan. great wine and selection of nibbles to go along with any wine. They have platters, ftiras (traditional maltese bread) and others. Upstairs is quite romantic but reservations are ideal especially in the weekends. Nice atmosphere.

One of the only restaurants’ within walking distance from our hotel we thought it worth a visit, the service quick and friendly, the menu was limited but what you got was good and plentiful and the wine defiantly cheaper that the hotel prices so all in all a great little place.

Once again this place disappointed us. Our soup arrived after our platters and once again cheeses were supermarket cheeses not what one would expect from a wine bar. Please make an effort to improve

good place to eat in the local village. Inexpensive and very family oriented. The choice of food is very limited but good for the price you pay. Also open till late at night.
