A lovely little spot serving food and drinks. Nice to sit on the terrace with a drink, and watch the boats on the harbour. We had 2 pints and 2 pastizzo for under 10euros, the pastizzo were the best we had on the trip!

We tried to pick a spot for lunch which was used by local people. Great value, large portions and good service. Was quite busy at lunchtime on the day we visited. Just stopped for a drink and ended up having lunch as well.

Excellent food at excellent prices. Burgers are superb and at only a fraction of the price of the more trendy restaurants close by. The place is very homely and the staff are very welcoming. It exudes the traditional Maltese pub feel.Do not expect over the top 5 star silver service, but it is clean, has good food at excellent prices and big portions, and the staff are well mannered.

A great little place for a drink.We had one beer, one small screw driver, and one cocktail that I forgot its name, but was quite delicious. All for no more than 8.This is a great family restaurant and bar. And the staff were very kind and attentive.Also I saw them serving delicious- looking plates to another group, but can't judge since I only drank there and didn't try any food.
