Chophouse

Bold flavours and majestic views define Chophouse which occupies a prime perch at Tigné Point in Sliema, gazing across Marsamxett Harbour to the Valletta skyline, which glows enchantingly once darkness falls. The terrace, enclosed and heated through winter, offers the finest seats from which to enjoy the panorama, while the dimly lit interior exudes a calm, intimate warmth of its own. Before or after dinner, the bar’s warm furnishings and outdoor deck make an elegant setting for an aperitivo, a whisky from its extensive collection or a cigar. Service is polished and attentive, and the staff are happy to guide guests through the menu.

The seasonal menu changes twice a year, revolving around premium produce and weaving in local flavours. Malta’s largest open-fire charcoal grill is central to its identity, its smoky aromas and char featuring across the menu to create a distinctive chophouse character. Dishes range from coal-kissed amberjack crudo to beef tartare with chimichurri and confit egg yolk. Prime Scottona, Angus and Wagyu beef, some hung and aged in-house, star alongside mains such as braised beef cheek with carob molasses and lamb shoulder with whipped tahini. The signature chocolate mousse rounds things off. A glass-fronted wine cave houses an extensive selection of local and international labels, available by the glass.
