Boys’ (and girls’) night out

We don’t need any excuse to call the squad to hang out, but planning a night out (and looking at the menu beforehand) makes things more fun. 

Whether a friend has a crisis to hash out or you want to spice up your weekly catch-up, throw in a hot meal and some alcohol; that’s all the therapy you need!

Birthdays, graduations, hen nights and family celebrations 

Whether you’re celebrating another trip around the sun, finally finishing that Master’s that has broken your soul, about to marry the love of your life or want to spend some time with your zijiet ta’ barra who are here on holiday, a hearty meal is necessary.

No real celebration in Malta counts unless you all walk out of there with slight indigestion. You can start detoxing in the morning. 

Public Holidays (as they should be)

 Public Holidays in Malta also count for our pots, pans and kitchens, and chances are you know where you’re heading to eat on the next Public Holiday from about three weeks in advance. That’s just how Malta works. 

Majjalata ma’ tax-xogħol 

Colleagues who enjoy a meal together can certainly work peacefully together. Organize a good old Majjalata ma’ tax-xogħol and waltz through that built-up work-related tension with the people you spend more time with than your family. 

You can even bond over how much you hate the boss (unless he’s there and is paying, of course).

And speaking of Majjalatas, foreigners living in Malta, listen up!

One of the perks of living in Malta is the food, and your experience here would be ten times more worth it if you experienced a traditional Majjalata. 

This is one of Malta’s most popular food gatherings (by now you have understood that every gathering in Malta has food) and is practically the cousin of another treasured food tradition, the Fenkata. Just swap the rabbit for the suckling pig!

The Majjalata is an ideal meal for any social gathering, but there is a right way to do it. 

And to sweeten the deal even further, for the month of April, a bottle of La Valette wine is served complimentary with ever platter.

For a unique and quintessentially Maltese Majjalata, look no further than Nenu The Artisan Baker. 

The family-run restaurant has earned its stripes as one of the island’s top eateries for its traditional Maltese cooking within the environment of a typical local bakery (you’ll never feel more patriotic).

Each of their pork platters serves four people and is one of their most in-demand experiences. 

With restaurants in the old traditional town of Mġarr or our capital, Valletta, Nenu’s is the perfect venue for all ages and occasions and promises an authentic Maltese experience with good value for money. 

So, who’s in charge of reservations?
