A Family Table in Mellieħa

Tal-Fieres Cuisine is a family-run restaurant tucked along the scenic Marfa Road in Mellieħa, with sweeping views over the Mellieħa Heights. Our name reflects our roots — and every dish we serve tells the story of the Maltese table.

The Best of Our Kitchen

From the traditional Maltese table to Mediterranean classics — every dish is made to order, with passion and the finest local ingredients.

01

Stuffat tal-Fenek

Malta's national dish — whole rabbit slow-cooked in red wine, garlic, bay leaves and root vegetables until meltingly tender. A dish that tells the whole story of our island.

🐰
02

Tagliatelle with Prawns

Fresh tagliatelle with plump Mediterranean prawns, garlic, a splash of Pernod and cream. A house favourite that keeps guests coming back time and again.

🦐
03

Tomahawk Pork Chop

Thick-cut tomahawk pork chop grilled over hot coals, finished with rosemary oil and served with seasonal roasted vegetables. A truly impressive cut.

🥩
04

Balbuljata

The traditional Maltese scrambled eggs with fresh tomatoes, capers, garlic and village herbs — a beloved island classic that has graced Maltese tables for generations.

🍳
05

Catch of the Day

Whatever is freshest from local fishermen — grilled, baked or pan-fried to your preference. Simple, honest and full of flavour from the Mediterranean Sea.

🐟
06

Salmon Spaghetti

Fresh spaghetti with flaked salmon fillet, cherry tomatoes, capers, dill and a light white wine sauce. Elegant in its simplicity.
