Shoreditch

Top choice in Sliema, St Julian’s & Paceville


With a name referencing London's hip 'hood, Shoreditch has a lot to live up to, and it doesn't disappoint. Sit outside on the corner terrace and partner a Blue 'Shroom burger (bacon, mushrooms and blue cheese), with a Maltesers (naturally…) shake. Breakfasts include possibly Malta's best eggs Benedict, and later in the day classic cocktails like mojitos take centre stage.
