Venus

Northern Malta


Venus is where to go in Buġibba for a touch of romance and fine dining. There's a bright and sophisticated interior, and the modern fusion menu adds an imaginative twist to traditional ingredients. The homemade rabbit ravioli and the potato and cheese gnocchi with local prawns are both very good, and the three-course set menu is great value at €25.
