Located in the picturesque village of Baħrija lies the hidden gem that is Tal Kuġini restaurant, serving up authentic Maltese and Mediterranean cuisine.
As a family-run restaurant, Tal Kuġini was founded in 2018 by cousins Alex and Victor Camilleri (hence the namesake). Raised and grown up around their family’s farms and fields in Mġarr, the pair boast an impressive resume having worked at some of the finest five-star hotels in Malta and the UK. They also gained positive exposure having worked in places such as Budapest and Dubai amongst others.
Today they pride themselves in sourcing the very best, freshest and homegrown ingredients from their family's fields and farms in Mġarr to create many sought-after Maltese and Mediterranean delicacies!
From their succulent fish to the flavourful meats and vegetables, every ingredient is carefully sourced and selected to ensure the highest quality and taste. Naturally, as a Maltese restaurant, their menu includes the classic and traditional Rabbit dish. Although, they also serve up a selection of pizzas with a Maltese twist, with toppings often including Maltese sausage, sun-dried tomatoes and peppered goat cheese.
As well as keeping that traditional aspect alive, Tal Kuġini are very much moving with the times, catering to the growing number of vegetarians and vegans with dishes that go beyond the ‘simple salad’. Such examples include their ‘scrumptious grilled aubergine with chickpeas and sun-dried tomatoes drizzled with Tahini and served with hummus on a bed of super greens’.
What makes them special is that they go above and beyond to accommodate people with different dietary requirements. For example, perhaps you have a specific food intolerance or allergy, all you have to do is call them up before to inform them of your requirements and they can create a dish tailored to your specific needs, “we can work our magic into bringing you the best dish you can ask for”.
In addition to its delectable food, Tal Kuġini also boasts a well-curated selection of Maltese and Mediterranean wines. The knowledgeable and trained staff is happy to help diners choose the perfect wine to complement their meal
With great hearty food sold at a reasonable price, the decor is also equipped with charming Maltese touches such as traditional and colourful tiles with intricate designs further adding to the already warm and inviting atmosphere provided by the staff. This makes it an ideal place for an intimate setting, be it a romantic dinner or lunch with friends and family.
Its spacious interior equipped with outdoor seating and easy access to ample parking space also makes it ideal for hosting events including Birthday parties, Christenings and Communion celebrations amongst others. The private area also makes it ideal for big group gatherings including staff parties.
The Camilleri cousins have turned their Culinary passion into their dream job. A true Maltese success story! So go ahead and reserve your table with them today by calling them on 77307553. Walk-ins are accepted although it's best to book your place in advance to avoid disappointment, especially during weekends and public holidays.
