Beijing

Tucked away on VH45+HPW in Marsaskala, Beijing has earned its 4.3-star rating from 211 discerning reviews, a testament to its unique charm. As evening light softens over the harbour, the restaurant’s warm glow spills onto the limestone walls, offering a haven of hospitality in Malta’s coastal charm. What sets Beijing apart is its unwavering commitment to authenticity, with a buffet so vast it feels like a culinary journey through China, overseen by the ever-attentive Anne, who ensures every guest feels at home.

The dining experience here is as generous as it is affordable, with plates starting at just €5 and regulars raving about the sweet and sour chicken and spring rolls. As one guest notes, “the buffet was amazing and had a huge variety of food to choose from, everything tasted fresh and full of flavour.” With wine and beer on offer, it suits families sharing platters, couples seeking a quiet meal, or solo diners craving comfort. The only caveat? The compact buffet space, a small trade-off for such value.

For a taste of Beijing’s magic, book ahead—closed Mondays to Wednesdays, but open for lunch and dinner otherwise. Nearby, the Marsaxlokk harbour beckons, making this a perfect pitstop after a stroll by the water. Come for the food, stay for the warmth, and leave knowing you’ve discovered a true Maltese gem. Travellers basing themselves nearby often pair a visit with one of the hotels in Malta close to Marsaskala, making it an easy addition to an evening out.
