Wigi’s Kitchen

Wigi’s, with its inconspicuous front door overlooking busy Balluta Bay is easy to miss. But your first visit will make you wish you’d known about it sooner. With its cosy ambience, comfy chairs, friendly staff, and amazing dishes, Wigi’s has the perfect combination that keeps patrons coming back. Wigi (after whom the restaurant is named) handpicks the best and freshest produce himself every day from the market. During service, he mans the bar whilst son Beppe attentively caters to the needs of their guests.

The meal opens with a small platter of complimentary assaggi of peppered local cheeselet, olives, salami, olive oil and fresh bread. While the menu retains some favourites, a number of dishes change daily. If the french onion soup happens to be available, make sure you do not miss it. The beef carpaccio with candied hazelnuts, saffron mayo and pickled vegetables is equally appetising. For your main course, you’ll be able to pick your fresh catch of the day or a juicy cut from a selection of meats displayed at your table – or try the U.S.D.A beef sirloin with mushrooms, tarragon butter and crispy onions. The warm chocolate fondant with vanilla ice- cream will leave you delightfully satisfied until you return.
