Marea
Described as a mediterrasian restaurant and lounge bar, Marea brings together two very distinct and historically-rich cultures — Mediterranean and Asian — in a unique location at the edge of the Bighi peninsula coastline in Kalkara. The refreshing Grand Harbour sea-breeze makes al fresco dining a delight. The indoor dining area is lavishly furnished, with contemporary touches and restful hues. Weather permitting, the roof can be retracted to reveal views of the bastions and night sky for an unforgettable evening.
Mediterranean and asian cuisines both share a deep respect for the produce, which Marea’s chefs embrace religiously. The menu changes seasonally, but always features a fantastic selection of sushi, sashimi and tempura, as well as succulent meat dishes, fresh sh, pasta and tapas. every dish is a spectacle of visual and gastronomic mastery, using seasonal, locally- sourced produce. the six-course tasting menu (also available with wine pairing) is the perfect way to explore the enticing palette of flavours that Marea offers. If your heart is set on Japan, the Marea sushi Bar signature platter features an assortment of nigiri, sashimi, gunkan, aburi and sushi assembled from the freshest seasonal ingredients. When in season, the local tuna akami nigiri with steamed rice and rice wine vinegar, and the oyster tempura with kecap manis, chilli and cultured cream should not be missed.
