The Phoenicia Malta

With an iconic bar, superb views from its two restaurants’ terraces and a Maltese outpost of an international steakhouse name, eating at the Phoenicia is a delight.

The Phoenix — is the hotel's main dining room, and here you'll find both the setting and the cuisine inspired by the grand cafés of Europe. Elegant, stylish and reminiscent of a time gone by, the Palm Court Lounge serves fresh pastry each morning and a traditional Afternoon Tea in the afternoon, while the Pool Bar and Restaurant is infinitely more modern, with a contemporary design and modern snacks, salads and gelato. Casual and cosmopolitan, Café Phoenicia is a popular spot in Valetta where you can grab burgers, wood-fired pizzas and freshly made pasta. Malta's colonial past is celebrated at the Club Bar where classic cocktails are served by an expert mixologist.

The intimate bar has a long history, retro décor, moody lighting and incredible house cocktails.

Contessa Restaurant — The elegant main restaurant is open for buffet breakfast, then again from lunchtime until dinner (both à la carte). The menu of classic international dishes is complemented by the setting, especially the expansive terrace overlooking the gardens and Marsamxett Harbour. Bastion Pool Bar & Restaurant — Dine al fresco on light summery dishes – or just sip a cocktail – next to the infinity pool, from where there are magnificent harbour views. Palm Court Lounge — This relaxing spot is the hotel's heart where you can sink into a sofa with a cup of coffee or one of the afternoon tea options. Beefbar in the City — This new arrival at the Phoenicia is one of the latest openings from the global steakhouse brand Beefbar, known for its stylish street and comfort food. Club Bar — A popular hangout since 1952, this cosy bar is the place to come for signature cocktails such as the wonderfully named Billie Holiday on the Radio.
