Restaurant The Harbour Club Review

The best coffee in Waletta, a good place to sit and relax, beautiful views, peace and quiet.

Best coffe in Valetta, good place to sit and rest, beautiful views, peace and quiet.

This wasn t our first time dining at this restaurant. Apart from the delicious food that keeps us going back dining here, there is the harbour view which you can t beat. It is romantic and relaxing. As a starter we had the zucchini risotto with mozzarella di bufala and anchovies and the duck terrine served with fig jam, pistachio and a brioche slice. As our main dishes we had the lamb and pork loin. Lastly for dessert we had the baked apricot served on a shortbread cake with milk ice cream and thyme cream. Both proteins were cooked to perfection and still very juicy and tender. All components on the plate tasted really amazing when combined together. If I had to criticise something it was the side salad which was only some lettuce leaves with feta cheese on top though the dressing was very good but I pretended something more. As for the service it was very good and waiters were both helpful and nice. They also sanitised everything from the table to the chairs after customers left a table. The only thing I would criticise is that we were left standing in the entrance for ten minutes to be seated at our table. I really recommend visiting this restaurant and surely you won t be disappointed.

Nice atmosphere helpful staff a bit limited on the menu

We ate at The Harbour Club on our first day in Malta. Friendly staff, good service, excellent food. We were just a walk up on Sunday lunchtime. Suggest booking if you are a larger party or want a table front and centre overlooking the bay. As you can see our table still had good views. Andre the manager very helpful and friendly.

06/06/2017 splendid concession of a dinner that proved to be very pleasant in all its aspects even if a little expensive:
- beautiful venue with jazz music in the background
- super nice and polite staff. They put the napkin over your legs as a sign of attention.
- starters: while waiting, warm bread arrives and the classic flavored butter to spread
- very well-kept, original and tasty dishes: I recommend, even the most expensive, the Padta Mafalda di Gragnano and the stunebas. Excellent wine by the glass and excellent desserts
We allowed ourselves a special evening so we took the most expensive things ( 84 in two for: 2 prosecco, 2 dishes, a first and a second course, 2 glasses of wine, 2 desserts and 2 deca) in general the prices go from 17 to 24 for the Main course. See photo menu.

Very nice view of the Grand Harbor. Excellent Mediterranean cuisine. Impeccable service and pleasant staff.
Excellent wine list. Booking essential several days in advance in summer. Only worth it if and only if you have a terrace table on the Harbor side (not inside the establishment)

Very much enjoyed this place. Nice view if you sit outside. Toilet is confusing to find

Great food in a very nice location. Modern Maltese place, nicely done up, and great views. Not a large place so call to book.

Refined and tasty cuisine... The deserts are delicious but not generous.
Not enough lighting... You can barely see what you're eating

Fantastic restaurant is a wonderful location, the food here is full of flavor with wonderful service.

Staff is extremely professional and nice. Food is nice and tasty. Had the lamb with Israeli cous cous with potato gratin. Maybe a bit more of a choice needed on the starters and desserts rather than a lot of ice cream. Other than that, nice ambience and decor. Recommend.

Very good restaurant. The food is very good and the menu consists of local products

Great food and the best food we have had in 5 months on the island! Perfect service too

Elegant place, good service, good food, prices a little high compared to the average in Malta

Incredible experience. Professional staff made our dinner amazing. We came to eat after our wedding and were treated to an amazing time.

The carpacio was delicious. The view is one of the best in Valleta

Good food. Great service. Small portions come with the territory.

Loved this place. Impeccable service. Delicious food. Great wine. Wonderful views.

This place came highly recommended so we had high expectations... And oh boy did they deliver! The staff and service were on point, check; the location breathtaking, check; nice wine, check; mouthwatering food, check check check. But saying so little about the food wouldn't do it justice. We've literally planned to go back to the Harbour Club to try everything else on the menu. The 'simple cauliflower' dish was the most elevated vegetarian dish we've had, the scallops and lard were succulent, the meagre was perfection, and the basil ice cream was a total surprise. Everything is cooked flawlessly, but it's the delicacy and elegance with which each dish is balanced that made our lunch an unforgettable experience.

Fantastic food in a stunning location. Can tend to be slightly overpriced, but it's usually worth the price.

Great Location and a good dining place. Fish is fresh and meat is mouth watering too. Although service could improve I think it was busy on the time we went. Still positive on this restaurant as waiters tried to their utmost to serve.

Slightly out of town, but still walkable. Great food and drink, views out over the three cities.

We came for some drinks. Beautiful view and very nice staff.

Very good dinner, staff Amazing and food very very good

The view relaxing atmosphere!!!friendly staff and good food

The terrace is superb with a lovely view of the port.
The service is impeccable, pleasant and attentive servers, the dishes are tasty and refined. Perfect for a nice evening

This is our favourite restaurant in Malta right now. The food, view and service have all been top notch!

One of the many reasons to visit Valetta, but not the least! Fantastic staff, seasonal food, I appreciated the vegetarian options on the menu and the lovely atmosphere. Can t wait to visit again.

Easy. Delicious.
Not for every budget

We read about this Restaurant with a VIEW in CN traveller and came here with high expectations. We were so satisfied that we made a new reservation for a couple of days later. The location gives you a unique feeling, especially daytime turning into nighttime.

Cocktails TOP, the sous vide meat TOP, the catch of the day (Sea bass and Tuna) PERFECT, presentation on the plate TOP, staff super professional, bread served with excellent olive oil and aceitico balsamico, DESERTS suculent, and a wine list for everybody's taste and budget. I can only strongly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed.

Expensive: no, correctly priced. We had steak in another restaurant in Sliema and paid the same price for a noisy terrace location, average quality and far less professional staff.

Only problem might be that this kind of reviews makes the place crowded in the future. You can go blindfolded, but be sure to make a reservation.

Nice food and wines. A treat to go there whilst on holiday

Modern, tidy and very accurate in details, a suggestive location especially in the evening. Varied menu between meat and fish in all the choices starting from the appetizers. Tried both (appetizer + first course based on fish, appetizer + second course for meat) and both the quality of the food, both the cooking and the presentation of the dishes have pleasantly impressed me. Curated wine list, possibility to taste also a cup. As read in other reviews, the accompaniment of dinner with soft jazz music is a very pleasant plus. Final account in the standard comparing it to restaurants of the same level. Recommended.

Perfect location, excellent food, very good service... High in my top ten list of Maltese restaurants.

This is a small but high quality place. The food was mind blowing good, according to the high price. They have a professional service and a variety of wines. From the window table you have direct view to the Three Cities.

No question, the most delicious food, romantic location and best view combined. Make a reservation, and don't miss it.

Food was good but super slow food and service, we had to wait for 30mins for the food. We also got a still water and it turned out to be half still half sparkling in the bottled that said still water...and we were like .. heh? They may reuse the bottle...I dont know.
But food is really good.

One of the best restaurants in Malta. Great view, service was top notch, food was delicious, the cocktail of the night was a perfect start to the evening.

Excellent. It was not planned. Amazed with the result both in food and service. Very highly recommended. Will visit again in the near future.

A great place to have a meal. Breathtaking views, outdoor seating, great service, fine food, nice cocktails. It couldn't be better !

Excellent and creative fare. Excellent and reasonable wine list. Excellent service by waiters who are well trained. Excellent location with wonderful views of the Grand Habour and the Three Cities. Only downside is that parking is a bit difficult. But every food lover who considers ambience and service to be important would certainly have this restaurant in his top list.

Delighted to be back for a big surprise - the chef really exceeded my expectations with beautiful foie gras!
Magnificent presentation and I am certain it will be on the route to deserve a Michelin star! At least in my books
The service is of fantastic standard, very supportive and friendly.
Thank you so much for making my return so worthwhile

Location is bliss, food is divine and staff are very well organised. On the whole, flawless :)

Great location and atmosphere. Dinner for 2 was good and the service was on point. Would recommend going early for some drinks.

Great place with magnificent views over Grand Harbour. Good food and excellent service.

Way above the overall dining experience i've had in malta so far

Had my wedding dinner here. Lovely setting, nice food and great service.

Fantastic Food with a Fantastic View
The Food is superb, its a bit on the expensive side but this is because the food ,the service and the view is one of a kind. Every Staff has a designated job so you get a special attention to detail. Anyway worth visiting.

We had dinner here a couple of times. It s a lovely place featuring an outdoor terrace with a stunning view to the harbour.
Beautifully presented fusion food, modern cuisine - a really nice selection of wines, but surprisingly they could also prepare very good classic cocktails, better executed than in many cocktail bars.

The staff is very knlowledgefull, and professional however the service was a little bit slowish.

All the starters we tasted were fabulous.
We loved the asian influenced tuna carpaccio, the duck terrine with pistachio - figs, the bucatini with local red prawn - guanciale. All of the above three dishes were wonderfully balanced and delightful to all the senses.

Unfortunately some of the mains were a bit out of balance.

Sadly the daily special Calamari Risotto was bland and very salty. Could not really taste anything else than salt and a bit of cheese. Especially after the perfectly balanced starters we were expecting something very pleasantly and gently seasoned, with a few small accents, showcasing the Calamari.

In two cases - beef Rib eye, Pork - the plates looked stunning, all the elements of the Sides were so special and interesting.
We loved the way they are really showcasing each ingredient on it s own, but also as a whole they work well together.
Very playful in texture and shape, very original ideas, really tasty BUT the actual meat element in both cases was less well executed and the taste&texture of the meat was lacking the wow factor.

Still we had a very good overall experience.
If you are in Malta it is a must try restaurant and we would definitely return.

Food was good and the view was great; however, there are serious integrity flaws. A fruit fly got into my wine glass, and, when told about it they replace it with the same glass. They had just taken out the fly and may or may not replaced the wine...

Would not come here again.

Great view and good wine selection. Efficient service.

I can say this place is not for a dinner. Views okay.

Pleasant place, very good service and sommelier. Most of the food was nice, but it's not consistent enough for five stars, my risotto was very much on the salty side, and the lamb rump on the tough one.

wow what a setting
delicious food too

You can have a really great evening here if the weather is good to sit outside.. look for photos at night and you'll see what I mean.
The food, wine and service are very good too - Italian/french type cuisine.
They tend to get busy so a bit of patience might be needed, although with such a view your guests will not notice..

Very characteristic place, impeccable service, excellent dishes. Prices accordingly.

Lovely place
Excellent dishes and wines
Pleasant background jazz music

Beautiful ambience and design. Everything we chose off the menu was perfect

Fabulous visit. Entertaining overseas business guests and the lunch was absolutely delicious

Nice place, good food but the timing isn t great. You may have to wait an extra time for your main course. Be prepared to read the small menu (I m not taking about the text size)on the dark.

Idyllic setting and a must visit if in Valletta. Menu stands out from the norm coupled with indespicable service. An ideal place to bring your girlfriend, bring yours here..... like i bring mine "she pay the bill" :)))

Perfect place to dine , the staff is very friendly, the view is amazing .

Great staff and a great view. Oh and they serve a good gin tonic !

Beautiful view of the grand harbour, went there for a nice bottle of wine. Very romantic place on the outskirts of Valletta

It was excellent! The staff were very attentive, the menu delicious, and the setting is beautiful.

Decent food. Good wine list. We ate better food for less in Valletta though.

Great tastes but the portions are ridiculously small. I mean really small! It s not fair to pay 40 euros for a dinner and at the end of the night to find yourself hungry!

Just stopped by for a cold one. Menu looks great and so did the dishes coming out to the patrons. Fantastic harbor views. However since we were not ordering food we were treated differently from those dining. Place was not full but it took forever to get check as they trended to diners.

Had one of the most delicious lamb meals I ever had here.

Great food and sommelier with a great collection, spot on service and wonderful views of Grand Harbour, Valetta

Stunning setting, delicious food and excellent service! Would recommend to anyone.

Very nice views of Grand Harbour. The elegant setting and fine food are a perfect backdrop for a relaxed dinner with friends. The wine list also offers a nice variety of wines of all price ranges.

Food is amazing. Very good quality restaurant. It worth it's price.

It's lovely, but has no fans / ACS for hot evenings.
