La Vida

Having celebrated its 10th anniversary, La Vida continues to elevate Spanish and South American cuisine. A stone’s throw from the Sliema seafront, it enjoys spectacular sea views and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Though small, the space is thoughtfully designed, with large apertures and a lively open kitchen. Stainless-steel tables, window-side bar stools, wooden floors and framed pictures create a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

La Vida serves an enticing selection of pinchos and tapas plates, including croquettes, tacos, patacones and arepas, alongside a dedicated margarita menu. Using wild fish and fresh, quality ingredients that are as local and seasonal as possible, the team prepares everything in-house, even making its own butter. The menu changes with the seasons, although some favourites remain. Try the seared sea bass with arroz negro or indulgent pork belly, then finish with burnt Basque cheesecake or a gluten-free brownie. With vibrant flavours, inventive dishes and a lively atmosphere, La Vida continues to impress and keep diners coming back.
