Enjoy the scenery while treating yourself to something unique, at possibly Balluta Bay’s most breathtaking venue, Aqua at The Sundeck. It is located at Malta Marriott Hotel & Spa on the top floor by the pool, offering breath-taking views. Inspired by the wonders of the sea, Aqua at The Sundeck’s menu will give you a meal like no other.

Joining the Marriott’s already glorious Atrio Bar and Restaurant, Atrio is all about Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, while Aqua at The Sundeck is all about the taste of the sea.

Cooking up some delectable dishes is something the Marriott has proved it can do, so expectations for Aqua at The Sundeck were high, and the Marriott sure did deliver.

Now that we’ve seen what Atrio can do, here’s a tiny taste of the culinary creations that await at Aqua at The Sundeck; 

Raw & Cured Seafood Platter 

Oysters, ceviche, cured salmon, local red prawns, langoustines

Having enough items to feed two people, this platter is serving up both raw and cured ocean delights so you and your loved one can mix and match as you see fit. Giving you the chance to taste every delicacy of the sea, this dish is unmissable. 

Frittura Mista Platter

Selection of fried fish & shellfish of the day: calamari, octopus, prawns, whitebait, mussels

Moving away from the nature of raw and cured, this platter is all about that heavenly crunch you get when something is fried to perfection. There are different types of fish and shellfish used in this dish, to make this platter perfect for almost everyone. 

Fresh Fish of the Day 

The tides are constantly changing and that means so do the freshly caught fish of Malta. Try out that day’s fresh catch and see just how fish can melt in your mouth when it’s caught, prepped, and served. 

Asian Pork Belly 

Buttered Asian greens, guava

Even if you aren’t really a fan of fish, Aqua at The Sundeck still has some state-of-the-art dishes that have been carefully crafted for you. Pairing the pork belly with the sweetness of the guava makes this dish truly one of a kind. 

Cod & Calamari 

Heirloom tomato, saffron veloute 

This Cod and Calamari dish is the best of both worlds. Treating your taste buds with nuanced flavours, the added touches of tomato and saffron truly make this dish spectacular.

Tuna Tataki 

Edamame beans, oyster mushrooms, peanuts, miso broth

Dig into this gorgeous piece of Tuna Tataki steak that will totally reshape the way you think of tuna. Created using Asian-inspired flavours, the peanuts and miso broth help make this dish truly unique. 

Strawberry, Lychee, Cardamom Verrine 

Strawberry mousse, honey & cardamom compote, lychee jelly, honeycomb crunch 

There’s always room for dessert, right? This strawberry mousse, paired with the unique flavours given by honey and cardamom, makes this dessert what dreams are made of. The honeycomb crunch is the perfect finishing touch to truly marry the different flavours and textures into this dish. 

Ricotta, Pear, Rum, Mandarin 

Local ricotta creamy tart, pear & spiced Rum, mandarin foam, caramel ice-cream

This dish takes things which we are familiar with, such as the spiced Rum and the local ricotta, and transforms them into something we could have never thought of. Marrying the flavours together with mandarin foam and topping everything off with caramel ice cream, there’s nothing like this dessert.

Aqua at The Sundeck is unrivalled in terms of service, elegance, and a breathtaking view of Balluta Bay. With lightning-fast service and a fantastic team, you’ll feel right at home.
