Il-Ħnejja

Il-Ħnejja is a special find situated on the waterfront of Senglea. This restaurant is all about quality of food, presentation and execution as well as mouthwatering tastes. Il-Ħnejja features traditional Maltese arches above the indoor dining area and also boasts two outdoor dining sections, one just outside the restaurant entrance and the other on the edge of the Three Cities harbour. Quaint and typical of local culture, Il-Ħnejja welcomes tourists to a Mediterranean kitchen and welcomes locals home.

The menu at Il-Ħnejja is short and sweet; focusing on delicate starters such as the pork cheeks with cider sauce. This textural sensation is paired with the sweetness of the cider that elevates the flavour in a striking manner. Specialities such as the seafood platter served with octopus, king prawns and mussels and the selection of fresh fish and meat cuts make for the perfect main course. Order a side salad served dressed with fresh basil, olive oil and subtle garlic and don’t forget the Grana Padano chips tossed in herbs and garlic! Enjoy a glass of Chablis or Chianti with your meal and end on a salted caramel cheesecake for that sweet kick.
