The Kitchen Restaurant

The Kitchen Restaurant Overview

The Kitchen is a quality restaurant on the Sliema seafront. While being a popular option with the town’s residents due to its central location away from the hustle and bustle on both sides of Sliema’s borders, it is also a major draw with tourists strolling along the popular promenade.

Open since 2004, The Kitchen has really matured in one of the top restaurants in Malta. The restaurant’s decor is fresh, contemporary and unfussy. A maximum of fifty covers ensures personalised and attentive service. Darren Lapira, the chef patron, has taken over the restaurant more recently and is doing a great job of taking forward The Kitchen brand and keeping up the solid reputation it has built over the years.

The menu at The Kitchen is a creative blend of innovative food selection. It consists of a delicious balance of familiar foods mixed with more experimental ingredients. Examples include the duck breast with pear glazing, the red prawn and salmon fillets with a coconut fish sauce or the penne tossed in a homemade pesto of globe artichokes, walnuts, garlic, chilli and Grana Padano. Chef’s recommendations are clearly marked on the menu and The Kitchen team are always delighted to suggest according to individual tastes.

The desserts are another problem. Where do you start, what do you choose? The Belgian chocolate truffle cake served with vanilla sauce anglaise is an all time favourite but do not discount options such as the crème brulee or orange parfait.

Another big plus point for The Kitchen is the extra choice and attention given to vegetarian and gluten free dishes. This is a rarity on the Maltese islands.

With an eye on offering a quality option for repeat customers from the area, The Kitchen does not burn a whole in your pocket and is very good value with no compromise whatsoever.

Reservations are recommended.
