Medina

Mdina


This pretty-as-a-picture romantic venue is in a medieval townhouse with vaulted ceilings and fireplaces. The garden courtyard is perfect for alfresco dining and sophisticated, artfully presented Maltese, Italian and French dishes. Maltese highlights on the menu include farmhouse-style rabbit, honey-lacquered quail and octopus stew with roasted walnuts, apples and raisins.
