Sole, Seabar by Tarragon launches Mediterranean-inspired menu

Sole, Seabar by Tarragon enters an exciting new chapter this summer with the launch of a refreshed Mediterranean-inspired menu curated by Ambassador of Gastronomy Marvin Gauci in collaboration with Italian Head Chef Marco Iasenza. Founded in 2007, Tarragon has spent nearly two decades shaping Malta’s contemporary dining scene through culinary innovation, refined hospitality, and a deep appreciation for Mediterranean flavours. Today, set against the breathtaking backdrop of St George’s Bay, Sole continues to redefine seaside dining through exceptional cuisine, warm hospitality, and stunning waterfront views, creating one of the island’s most memorable al fresco experiences.

Born from the passion and creativity of Marvin Gauci, Sole by Tarragon has become synonymous with excellence, celebrated for concepts that seamlessly blend refined gastronomy with authentic Mediterranean hospitality. Working closely alongside his team, Gauci has crafted a new culinary direction deeply rooted in local culture, seasonality, and the timeless beauty of dining by the sea. Created for the summer season, the new menu offers a vibrant celebration of coastal flavours inspired by Southern Europe. At the heart of Sole’s new menu lies a refined yet relaxed Mediterranean philosophy centred around fresh seafood, seasonal produce, and dishes designed to be shared and savoured slowly. Guests can indulge in an exceptional selection of raw dishes and crudo that highlight the purity and freshness of every ingredient. A standout signature is the CRUDO PLATTER, featuring Red Prawns, Oysters, Fasolare, Langoustine, Seabass, and Tuna, a true expression of Mediterranean luxury and craftsmanship.

Another defining element of the Sole experience is the Catch of the Day, showcasing some of the freshest seafood Malta has to offer. Committed to supporting trusted local fishermen and suppliers, Sole prioritises authenticity and sustainability in every dish. Guests can enjoy expertly prepared fish served in a variety of styles including Al Sale, Cartoccio, Grilled, or Acqua Pazza, allowing the natural flavours of the seafood to shine. Sole, Seabar by Tarragon also embraces authenticity beyond the plate. All bread is made in-house, while the olive oil and honey are personally sourced through Chef Marvin’s Gourmet Malta Product Selection. Many of the herbs and greens are handpicked directly from Gauci’s private garden in the north of the island, reinforcing a philosophy rooted in provenance, craftsmanship, and genuine Mediterranean living.

Adding another dimension to the experience is Sole’s innovative mixology programme and curated cocktail collection. Among the highlights are the signature “Elixirs of the Sea”, artwork-inspired sours influenced by Maltese iconography, folklore, and cultural heritage. Combining premium spirits, local ingredients, and artistic presentation, these imaginative creations offer a sensory journey that celebrates Malta’s identity through contemporary mixology. Overlooking the crystal-clear waters of St George’s Bay, Sole’s elegant seaside terrace captures the true essence of Mediterranean summer dining. From sunset aperitifs to long dinners under the stars, guests are invited to savour exceptional seafood, refined coastal cuisine, signature cocktails, and carefully curated wines in an atmosphere defined by effortless elegance and warm hospitality.
