Atrio is a Mediterranean bistro where creative cuisine meets warm hospitality. The passionate team, led by Culinary Director Roderick Vella, Sous-Chef Jake Bugeja and Restaurant Manager Ashok Gurung, ensures a memorable dining experience. Begin with freshly baked, crusty bread, a tender octopus skewer, crispy prawn brioche or flavoursome house-cured coppa pork neck and loin. Don’t miss its inventive take on traditional Maltese pastizzi, featuring delicate filo pastry cases filled with a rich pea mixture. Savour beautifully aged T-bone steak, silky rare tuna with aromatic Provençale sauce, portobello mushrooms, creamed spinach with egg, sweet yellow carrot with fragrant almond gremolata and golden, triple-cooked fries. Finish on a sweet note with airy blueberry mousse or an indulgent chocolate pistachio dessert.
