A sleek new wine bar in Ta’ Xbiex!
Are you ready for an intimate and inviting scene with fabulous wine, the best Negroni drinks with top-of-the-line vermouth and portion sizes small enough that you can enjoy ordering more than one main course dish? Then Harlequin Malta is the place for you! Set across from the Marina in Ta’ Xbiex, this sleek and sexy refurbished boathouse turned swanky restaurant created by Maria Shebets is the perfect place for a private dinner for two, or to enjoy a night out with friends.
Prawn Crudo: Pickled Shimeji & Enoki mushrooms
Risotto: Proseco, Guanciale & Prunes
The lighting and colors of black and golden yellow create an intimate dining experience seating only 28 at one time in keeping with space and privacy among patrons. Come early and explore the wine list and apéritif offerings of cheese, charcuterie, olives, spiced almonds and homemade focaccia and then settle into your seats at 7pm when the full kitchen opens up.
Head Chef Ritianne Bondin will delight your senses with offerings such as prawn crudo with pickled shimeji and enoki mushrooms and risotto with proseco, guanciale and prunes.
Not spaced into a traditional menu of appetisers or main courses, the dishes are all considered main course dishes affordable enough and small enough to explore and enjoy more than one!
Open Tuesday-Saturday at 5pm for apéritif and full kitchen at 7pm. Walk-ins are welcome if there is space, however, reservations are preferred
