In Malta, Oriental cuisine is well-liked, with a good number of Chinese restaurants dotted around the islands, catering for both locals and tourists. Many of these establishments are found in resort areas such as Mellieha, Bugibba, St Julians, Marsascala and Sliema.
However, one of the best is found at the Corinthia Palace Hotel, bang in the centre of the island in the picturesque village of Attard. The ambience at The Rickshaw restaurant reflects the opulent 5-star surroundings; the beautifully laid tables and attentive service adds a touch of class and romance to the venue.
Established in 1978, The Barracuda Restaurant is one of Malta’s best established fine-dining restaurants. Overlooking Balluta Bay in St. Julians the restaurant is housed in an almost stately, 18th Century limestone property, standing majestically on the water’s edge. Once inside, the atmosphere is classic with a modern touch, and you can cosy-up indoors by a log fire in Winter, or sit outside on the terrace on warm Maltese Summer evenings. Many celebrities and sporting stars have dined at Barracuda whilst visiting Malta, including Liverpool FC, Alex Ferguson, David Beckham, Madonna, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Omar Sharif.
