Lo Scoglio - Huggy Bear Lido
International restaurant · St Paul's Bay, Malta
Tucked away on Dawret Il-Qawra in St Paul’s Bay, Lo Scoglio - Huggy Bear Lido has earned its 4.4-star rating from over 4,300 reviews with a singular charm: its position where the Mediterranean meets the shore, bathed in the golden hour glow that makes Malta’s limestone walls glow. Here, the air hums with the gentle lapping of waves and the clatter of plates, a haven for those seeking respite from the bustle, with tables spilling onto a terrace that feels like a secret garden by the sea.
The menu is a study in balance, with dishes like a feta salad so fresh it tastes plucked from the garden and sea bass cooked with a precision that honours the island’s maritime heart, all for around €15-30 per head. As one regular noted, “the food was some of the best we had on our trip,” a sentiment echoed by those who linger over a crisp local wine or a cold beer. It suits everyone: couples sharing a quiet dinner, families with children in tow, or solo diners watching the sunset with a book in hand.
Open from noon until 10:30pm daily, this is a place to book ahead, especially if you’re visiting the nearby aquarium or simply want to linger. For anyone asking why here, why now: Lo Scoglio - Huggy Bear Lido is where Malta’s coastal beauty meets unhurried hospitality, a table with a view that feels both timeless and utterly of the moment. For those flying in specifically for the island's food scene, it sits comfortably alongside the best of St Paul's Bay's restaurants, within easy reach for anyone arriving via flights to Malta with KM Malta Airlines.
