L'Ostricaio

Trust me and try this place! I work in hospitality and can confirm this restaurant has: high quality products, very fresh sea food, homemade pasta (!) for very reasonable prices. They just moved across the road so the atmosphere is much better than previous. Diana was a great host. We will return!

The food is good, but unfortunately what makes me disappointed about this place is the fact that I ordered a pornstar martini and the passion fruit on top of the cocktail came with mold on it. We told the server and they changed it. The octopus is very good and the sea bream we ordered feels very fresh, sweet and has a nice sea taste in it. The dishes came with potato chips as well. We ordered a fritto misto starter, but it was quite small. The customer service is good, but you get served by a lot of different people, which is weird and creates confusion. For example, we ordered a sparkling water for the start and we got still water brought by another server. They fixed the mistake after being told.
The place would receive a better review from me, but the problems made me disappointed.

🌟 Five Stars – A Must-Visit for Fish Lovers in Malta!If you love fish, you simply cannot go wrong with this restaurant. We were so absolutely thrilled with our experience that we kept coming back during our stay, and it will definitely be our go-to spot every single time we visit Malta in the future!The food is outstanding. The fish is incredibly fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. On top of that, the pasta was cooked flawlessly—authentic, al dente, and absolutely delicious.What makes this place even better is the fantastic team. The service staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. As a great bonus for international travelers, they are all completely fluent in both English and Italian, which made communication super easy and pleasant.If you are in Malta and love seafood, do yourself a favor and book a table here. You will not regret it!

A beautiful restaurant in the heart of St Julian’s. It was wonderful to find this place, because nowadays it’s very difficult to find traditional food — so many places have been replaced by trendy matcha, avocado toast with eggs or hamburgers everywhere.
We went twice, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. You can really feel the authenticity and care in every dish. On top of that, the service was excellent: warm, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visits. We will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Happen to come across this restaurant on our first day in Malta as we arrived late afternoon, was a good choice. A good seafood dishes, pasta and shell fish to choose from. Service was good and friendly. Food ordered was excellent. Good portions and flavorful. Prices are bit high depending on what you order. Wine and spirits available. Atmosphere is nice . Overall very good.
