Ta' Kolina

What sets this restaurant apart is its dedication to traditional Maltese home cooking, served in a space where warm limestone walls and soft evening light create an intimate atmosphere, away from the bustle of the city. Regulars flock here for the set menus, offering exceptional value at €15-30 per head—think rabbit stew, octopus with garlic, and fish soup, all prepared with care. As one guest noted, “Everything was nice and tasty,” particularly the rabbit, which shines as a standout. The La Valette white wine, fresh and fruity, pairs beautifully with the dishes. Ta’ Kolina suits all: couples seeking a quiet dinner, families sharing plates, or solo diners savouring authentic flavours. For a taste of Malta’s culinary soul, Ta’ Kolina is a must-visit. Open from midday until 10.30pm most days, it’s wise to book ahead, especially for dinner. Located just a short stroll from Sliema’s waterfront, it’s a convenient yet memorable stop in the heart of the island’s dining scene. It's a natural stop for anyone exploring restaurants in Sliema.
