Mellows Cafe

Reviewed By Annette C

We actually went here for lunch because our 'usual' restaurant was closed, so found this on Trip Advisor instead. But we were not disappointed. The food was beautifully cooked and the portions were large. We definitely over ordered: a pizza to share as a starter, risotto and a mixed grill (mostly to share both between us) as a main. The pizza and risotto would have been enough for us both so when the mixed grill arrived were were already fairly stuffed, but it was too good to leave any. We didn't want to eat for the rest of the day and still felt full the next day! The only downside was the huge number of flies which were constantly around the tables. Some fly deterrents would have been helpful, but it seems this is the month for flies as they're everywhere. Overall definitely recommend this place. Friendly staff and good value for the large portions.

A friendly no frills diner right next to the Mosta Rotinda. Good food and friendly staff with moderate prices. Well worth a visit but if you intend to visit on a Sunday for lunch you better make a reservation.

Madliena Lodge

Perched on top of Madliena, surrounded by lush greenery and commanding excellent north-western coastal views, Madliena Lodge is truly one of a kind. Keeping the 18th-century architecture and more so amplifying the features which are nowadays pretty scarce

Reviewed By Tony W

4 of us ate there one evening and we were very impressed. Two had a 250gm steak between them and it was prefectly cooked. My ribs were ridiculous! A full rack with really meaty ribs, lovely honey based sauce and chips. It was too much to eat and so it formed the meal we had the following night at home! Servers were really friendly and attentive and prices were what is to be epected of s steakhouse - about €15-20 each with wine and drinks.

Reviewed By SlabbyBelgium

While being on holiday, we always try to find an extraordinary venue for dinner. So this year we discovered The Lord Nelson Restaurant in Mosta. We call this a hidden gem! Located a few minutes from the Mosta Dome - you can literaly see the Dome from your table in the restaurant - this restaurant houses in an old charming townvouse with a lot of history. We booked a table and at our arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome. Of course this restaurant is not on a ‘hot spot’ location but.... once inside one discovers a superb, elegant and very nice fine dining restaurant. Talking about fine dining we went for the tasting menu with pairing wines and the whole menu including wines exceeded our expectations by far!!!! Every dish was a through masterpiece not only for the taste but also the eyes! We let the head chef choose for the ‘surprise’ tasting menu ... 3 starters, 2 mains and a dessert... we can only say that this was a real culinary evening with fine dining at its best!! Thank you chef Vella and your team, thanks for the staff, he was attentive, professional and friendly and last but not least thanks to the patron Mr Etienne for running such an excellent restaurant! We recommend everyone who has the chance to have dinner in Mosta to go this ‘hidden gem’! Regards from Belgium - Peter

Reviewed By kaybewoking

This is a fabulous restaurant. The service is friendly and unobtrusive. The ambiance is relaxed. The setting is interesting. And the food..... the food is absolutely divine. From the warm bread to the complimentary mini cup of soup to the mains. Everything was delicious. The menu changes frequently but when we were there I had pork belly and my husband had beef cheek. Neither of us like turnip but there was a turnip side dish that was out of this world. Portions are generous so we had no space for dessert. I highly recommend this place. If we had more time in Malta we would definitely be going back.

We were a group of four and ordered 4 dishes - rack of ribs, fish and two pasta dishes. All were expertly cooked and with very friendly service and advice from the waiter.For dessert the cook came out with a selection tray which he said were all home made. We tried the baileys mousse which was excellent. He also gave us a complementary glass cherry wine with the coffee.The prices are very reasonable, came to just over €100 for 4 people.The restaurant is unassuming and unpretentious, but friendly and with genuinely good food and excellent value for money. The only problem we had was car parking.This was our third visit and there will be many more for sure.

Reviewed By SteffiGingell

Very well served and very helpful staff overall. Food was great. Only things I would say are: a waiter thought we were ready and asked whether we wanted dessert - At that stage we only shared a starter and main course was on the way! The other thing was that with regards red wine by the glass they only had one option, and after a few minutes the table next to us asked for red wine by the glass and they were given two options. Not sure why this happened, maybe I did not look like an experienced wine drinker? Bad assumption, anyway - food was good and hope to return again and next time everything goes flawlessly!
