I am so glad that we decided to visit Munchies in Ghadira again, firmly placing this establishment as a favourite stop when touring the North of the island.

Following a nice walk along L-Ahrax and Little Armier areas, we initially decided to stop for a quick drink, somewhere on the way back home. And as we drove down into Ghadira Bay, we saw Munchies and decided to stop there.

This is a much larger facility than one imagines. There is the main upstairs interior dining area, the large upper terrace, a long balcony on the front, the spacious patio downstairs, as well as another large interior dining area downstairs, and all are very appealing in their own way. You are therefore spoilt for choice.

The place was heaving with people, which is rather extraordinary for this time of year, and good luck to them! They have certainly transformed this place into a great venue and the décor both upstairs and downstairs is very pleasant.

So we sat inside downstairs which is very attractive, and once we were there our quick drink turned into a bottle of Santa Digna Cabernet Suavignon, which was excellent and very full and fruity for a cabernet, I must say.

Then the smell and sight of food all around us compelled us to take a meat and cheese platter which was extremely impressive and generous in size. All the ingredients were of excellent quality and were thoroughly enjoyed. What a generous feast it turned out to be.

I finished off with a casatella siciliana, which was also lovely and which I couldn’t help gobbling up.

And naturally then came the coffees and drinks…

So as expected, our quick drink ended up in pretty much in what could be called a meal in itself. And the great thing is that they also operate continuous service throughout the afternoon, as the kitchen doesn’t close.

What a splendid venue to keep in mind and how very flexible. They are open all day, you can go just for a drink, for a snack or a platter, or for a full meal. And above all the location is truly stunning, the food is excellent and so is the service.

Pretty hard to beat all round!
