Venus Restaurant St Pauls Bay Malta Testimonial

First time in this restaurant by mistake and for sure not the last, recommand it. Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff and feel yourself welcome… Lucianne

Welldone
This restaurant is Top what a pleasure. This was our first time for me and my girlfriend. I never wrote reviews before. They have to be very good or excellent to comment. I’m a person that I’m coming from a catering family and I can say that I am a good food critic. The place, staff and management have managed to excel. That’s a surprise  for customers expectations. The meet and greet was spot on. The food was exquisitely presented and of course cooked to perfection.
We took beef cheek as a starter and for mains we had the lamb chops and Argentinian rib eye and a bottle of Moscato D’Asti. For dessert, we had the strawberry cheesecake and chocolate brownie . Ambience in the restaurant is suitable best for romantic evening . I suggest if you are looking for a grt night out with your partner book a table. the personal service was present to each and every table. The prices are very reasonable and worth every euro. Well done to all at Venus for making our visit so special and please stay as you are.

Excellent dinner!
Excellent dinner date! Cosy and calm ambience, very attentive staff and fish cooked to perfection. We ordered the sea bass Al sale from the daily fresh fish selection. Highly recommended!

An excellent restaurant!
The service is truly impeccable.. varied menu and delicious complimentary starter of humus, olives and warm fresh Maltese bread. Good choice of wine. I went with my son.. the atmosphere is very relaxing. We loved the music.. it was perfect! We were also offered a complimentary drink after dinner. Looking forward to eating there again!

Fish
The food was heavenly, the service is first class and the staff are welcoming. The fish was fresh and wild catch of the day and cooked with expertise that can only be found here or at one’s own kitchen back home. The restaurant is clean and very aware of covid 19 protocol such as salt and pepper is not allowed to be touched appart from the staff.

Fantastic restaurant
Delicious oysters perfect beef Wellington and lobster pasta. Two brothers that run this restaurant were perfect hosts. A must visit when you’re in Malta.

Amazing food and service
Had a wonderful meal here, couldn’t find fault with anything from the food to the service. Great food, great wine list and the service from Andrea, Roberto and Maria was fantastic. We had such a great meal we booked to go later on in the week as well.

Excellent!!
First of all, a big thank you to Roberto! Who served us so kindly and warmly 🙂 The next thank you goes to the cook! The fish was just excellent! The atmosphere is very romantic and the service is perfect. We can highly recommend it..

Food & Staff Amazing
Staff were fantastic & friendly… Just the perfect balance of making sure you were ok but not bothering you too much.
Food was amazing… From the warm table side bread to the melt in your mouth lamb to the beautiful home made fries
100% will be back

Great dining experience
Been there on a Friday evening. The restaurant was getting busier by the time, as we made our order. The place is wonderfully decorated and the service was good. But the best part of it all was the food, we made our choice varying from local rabbit dishes to an array of pasta and steaks were all beautifully cooked to perfection. Thumbs up for the quality of food and also for the chef’s opera singing while cooking.

Spot on dinner
We went for dinner me and my girlfriend and we were surprised from the nice and quite atmosphere in the restaurant.
Food was excellent and a lot of extra special not listed on the normal menu.
The restaurant is serving mainly fresh seafood but also has traditional Maltese dishes.
Also Nice list of wines to accompany the food.
Big thanks to the staff that makes the experience nice and relaxed.
Definitely will recommend.

Amazing food & a relaxed atmosphere
My girlfriend and I were looking for somewhere to eat on our first night in St Paul’s Bay when we stumbled across this gem. The staff on shift (Andrea & Maria) couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating in insuring we had a great evening. The food itself was delicious and fresh with large portions. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some impeccable seafood and great service!

Best food I’ve had in Buggiba!
My boyfriend and I came here one evening for dinner and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is so calming compared to the hustle and bustle outside, I ordered the seabass special and my partner the chicken, it was the most delicious seabass I had tasted!my partner loved his meal too and the wine was perfect. The customer service was comparable to non, we received freshly baked bread with homemade hummus and olives on the house, and finished the meal with lemoncello on the house! We had to visit one last time and when we did we weren’t disappointed. We received the same amazing service and food, and we even received a local cactus liquor on the house. This is a must visit; Will definitely be going again if we’re ever in Malta.

Superb local fish
This restaurant was recommended to us by the hotel staff. I’m so glad we took them up on it, because our meal was one of the best of the trip. The lampuka (dolphin fish) was in season and on the specials board. Very simply cooked but so tasty. I can’t remember what my partner had as I was so engrossed in my delicious fish. We shared a bottle of local dry white – some of the local wines are really excellent – but had no room for dessert. The service was impeccable. There are other restaurants in the area that were recommended to us and really didn’t meet our expectations but this one definitely did

Worth a visit
Delicious food, very freshly tasting fish and super friendly staff. Recommending going there if you are around! Thanks, Roberto and Andrea!

Don’t think about it just go
Venus is a family run authentic local restaurant amongst chains and bars in Bugibba. Don’t be fooled by the white table cloths and seafood display as expensive. You’ll be paying the same or less like for like in other not so well presented restaurants. The starters of grilled octopus and rabbit ravioli was amazing along with the local warm cooked bread. They have a good selection of specials. We stuck to seafood but they also offer red meat & chicken. Brothers Roberto & Andrea along with Maria made us feel very welcome and we appreciated the Frangelico with ice cream and sparkler for our birthday celebration. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Just wow!
Really easy to summarize: food amazing, service top of the pop, our favourite wine, as George would say: what else?

Food and Service
Food and Service have been very nice. Roberto, one of the owners, cares for everyone in the restaurant. Very special. Would definitely go again.

Outstanding seafood experience
Absolutely fantastic meal – a sea to plate experience. Super fresh food, great atmosphere with superb service. A shout out to Roberto who looked after us really well.

Outstanding
One of the best restaurants in Malta. Everything from the service, to the atmosphere, to the personal touches, to the food, to the presentation, to the wine – everything was superb and flawlessly carried out by the staff.
Lobster Linguine was one of the most enjoyable and well balanced pasta dishes I’ve ever had. My partners chicken stuffed with chorizo and brie was perfectly cooked. The Octopus… words do not do it justice, just try it and you’ll see.
If you consider yourself to be a ‘foodie’ and a seafood lover this needs to be top of your agenda if you’re in the Buggiba/St. Paul’s area.

Amazing food, atmosphere and staff
Dropped in at the end of August with a friend for an end-of-holiday treat. The staff were very welcoming and more than happy to answer all our questions about different dishes on the menu, specials, portion sizes etc., as well as recommending the best dishes according to our tastes. The tuna starter was fresh and really tasty and both our mains were incredible. I had the lobster pasta in the picture (drooling). Great desserts too; left feeling content and full. Definitely recommend it.

Wonderful restaurant!
Excellent food prepared with love. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Worth every penny! Would definitely return and recommend to anyone.

Amazing food and service!
Came to Venus restaurant last weekend and had a fab experience! The food was absolutely gorgeous and the service even better! Was really looked after from the second of entering the restaurant. The perfect combination of quality food and top class service made our experience really special! This restaurant is an absolute go-to when visiting the area! Make sure you don’t miss it cause it’s an absolute gem!

Great place
Traditional family run restaurant. The food is excellent. I had duck with accompanying potatoes and vegetables, all beautifully cooked. I would highly recommend a visit, prices are also reasonable.

Great food
Visited with my husband. It reminded us of our local Italian restaurant. Food was tasty and filling and beautifully prepared and served. It was not expensive and we really liked it. Definitely a restaurant we will return to.

This is the best restaurant
This is the best restaurant in Malta ever with impeccable service and always fresh seafood! I highly recommend visiting the restaurant because I have it weekly and every time I go I am very well attended.

Amazing as always
We visited this restaurant back in 2012 and came back every year for 5 years, and it always delivers great service and great food. I think the management has changed now but the quality of service and food has remained 5 star.
Beef Carpaccio 10/10 – Lobster Linguine 10/10 – Tiramisu 10/10 – Service 10/10 – Ambience 10/10

Perfection
Rare, that’s how I like my meat cooked. Melt in my mouth perfection and packed with flavour, that’s what I got.
Rare to find a restaurant so perfect.
I have eaten here before, and it had always been a stunning experience.
The staff, sons of the owner and others have a real family feel.
They are professional and attentive.
They know everything about where it was sourced from, how it was cooked and what’s in it.
All allergies catered for, from gluten, to veggy to halal and all areas in between.
You need to eat here at least once to know what proper food is.
Malta has this jewel in its crown of restaurants.
Venus.

Our experience with the Venus
Our experience with the Venus restaurant cannot be described differently than as amazing! Roberto was taking care of us during the dinner and he was incredible and super nice 😉 And the food? – fresh, delicious and simply exquisite! Venus does definitely worth the visit. And even if you get the perception that it may be a bit more expensive, I have to point out that the prices are only slightly above average in the area but experience is a whole differently level. Thanks a lot for a gourmet dinner and pleasant time!

Top class
Visited the restaurant on a busy Sunday night dinner. As we arrived we were welcomed and shown to our table. For starters we took beef Carpaccio and Tuna Tartare. For main course we choose a fillet of Beef which just cooked to perfection and a fish platter. For dessert, we took a cheesecake. Top class service and food. Will return for sure when visiting Malta again.

Great food.
We really enjoyed this meal. I thought the food was wonderful quality and really well-prepared. My son loved his swordfish. Thank you!
