Restaurant Name: Busy Bee

Busy Bee is a cafeteria situated in Ta'Xbiex just off Sliema. Here they serve tea, coffee, drinks, pastries, pastizzi, pies, salads and sandwiches. They have a large selection of cakes, ice-cream and pastries to choose from. However you cannot miss out on the 'Kannoli' which are pastries filled with ricotta cheese mixed with sugar and canded fruit and sometimes even pieces of chocolate. On the outside of these kannoli nuts are sprinkled around them. You can find also chocolate ones however I prefer the normal ones.

Favorite Dish: kannolli ! They make the best ones here in my opinion !

Directions: Follow the sliema promenade, past Gzira all the way to Ta'Xbiex just before you arrive to Msida church

Restaurant Name: Mammia Mia Restaurant

This restuarant is one of the most popular restaurants at the moment. One can seat upstairs with the sea view and then there is below the first floor which is quite dull. The food is really good even though the service is a bit slow as the place is big. Most of all you have to book however in advance as there is always a queue. Recently, though my parents wanted to take me out for my birthday and we were let down by the manager as we called to book and he did not want to reserve a table overlooking the seaview as he told us its first come first serve basis and he was not going to reserve a table.

I think this is a pity because the food here is really good.

Favorite Dish: I have loads of favourite dishes which are :

the cajun chicken with pasta
chicken ceasar salad
pizza is really good
spare ribs are served with two sauces ( I think I had liked the American sauce if I am not mistaken)

Restaurant Name: Piccolo Padre

Piccolo Padre is situated in the basement of a XVII century seaside villa which is surrounded with balconies that overlook the sea. The place is really decorated nicely and the service is very good unless there aren't many people (and this is not often as the place is very popular). Here you can eat pizza, pasta and salads. The desserts are really good too.

This is the place where I had my 3rd VT meeting !

Favorite Dish: Pizza Pizzoto - a closed pizza with mushrooms, honey, seasame seeds and blue cheese - yummy !!

The Gateux Marie is simply out of this world however that is not its orginal name but it was like a chocolate mousse with biscuits !
