Wine Bars Malta
Maltese wines have improved substantially over recent years, and this has led to a good number of wine bars opening across the island in order to satisfy the demand from both tourists and locals alike. Here we take a trip to few and tell you a bit about each.

The game of il-Passju was popular in bygone times here in Malta, along with other games such as ballun stop and bocci.
As there are two official languages in Malta, there are a variety of newspapers; some in English, others in Maltese. These are mainly printed daily with a mixture of news, opinion pieces, readers’ letters and classifieds. Sunday editions are generally bigger with more features and are sometimes distributed with free magazines.
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.
