Manakis Seaview

The seductive flavours of the levant can now be experienced along the Bugibba seafront in St Paul’s Bay where the promenade is speckled with those enjoying a brisk walk and sunny rays glistening for the majority of the year. Its wide frontage allows for loads of natural light into the nautical themed interior, complimented with a terrace bustling with happy customers feasting on the myriad of dishes spread across its tables – hummus, tzatziki, taramasalata, keftedes, sheftalies, souvlaki, spanakopita and so many more. Prices are reasonable, the service couldn’t be friendlier while the location and ambience more ideal.

Greek food oozes the flavours of the levant with its diverse use of spices, herbs and fragrant oils. Every ingredient is sourced with care, and several are brought regularly from across the mediterranean. This also goes for ouzo and mastika, of which there is a good choice, these are also sourced directly. A generous tasting menu comprising several different dishes, is a perfect introduction for the less familiar Greek-eater. A selection of mains will open your tastebuds to a whole new dining experience where grilled pork neck marinated in tomatoes, aromatics, fresh herbs and charred lemon dig deep into the soul. Other interesting dishes such as the pastisio is a pasta dish served with Greek-style beef ragu topped with feta and sheep’s milk graviera cheese and baked to perfection. Leave room for the tahini Crème Brûlée to finish on the Greekest of notes!
