Bayside

What sets this place apart is its outdoor seating, where limestone walls meet the evening glow, and the Mediterranean air carries the faint hum of the bay. It’s a spot that feels both rooted in Malta’s coastal charm and effortlessly inviting. The menu, priced at €15-30 per head, offers straightforward fare with highlights like the burger, which one guest noted for its “fresh, thick meat of good quality.” Regulars often linger over wine or beer while taking in the views, making it equally suited for couples seeking a quiet meal or families sharing a relaxed evening. As David P put it, “Brilliant views, great service and fantastic food make Bayside a wonderful place for lunch.”

Open from 9am to 10pm most days, Bayside accepts reservations—advised for sunset dining—and sits conveniently near St Paul’s Bay’s waterfront. For those craving an unpretentious meal with a view, this is the place to linger. Travellers basing themselves nearby often pair a visit with one of the hotels in Malta close to St Paul's Bay, making it an easy addition to an evening out.
