Pavilion Palace
Chinese restaurant · Birkirkara, Malta
Tucked away on Triq Sant’ Andrija in Is-Swieqi, Pavilion Palace has quietly earned its 4.2-star rating from 253 discerning diners, a testament to its warm, unassuming charm. What sets this Chinese gem apart is its intimate, buffet-style dining—though note, the feast requires at least two to share—where dishes like shrimp with garlic, ginger, and vegetables arrive fresh and piping hot, served against a backdrop of Malta’s soft evening light filtering through limestone walls.
The menu here is both accessible and satisfying, with mains hovering around €15-30, making it a favourite for locals craving authentic flavours. Regulars rave about the chicken yaki udon, its noodles perfectly al dente and rich with savoury notes, while others swear by the comforting chicken noodle soup. As one guest put it, “Everything fresh cooked and very tasty”—a sentiment echoed by the attentive, if occasionally stretched, service. With wine and beer on offer, it’s a spot equally suited to a quiet couple’s dinner, a family feast, or a quick business lunch.
For those seeking a taste of Malta’s Chinese culinary heart, Pavilion Palace is a reliable, no-fuss choice. Open Monday to Wednesday until 11:30 PM, reservations are wise to secure a table, especially given its popularity in the Birkirkara area. Come hungry, come curious, and leave with a full belly and a smile.
