Hammett's Macina

Malta


Bringing a cosmopolitan sense of style to heritage Senglea, the signature restaurant at the new Cugó Gran Machina Grand Harbour blends Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Asian and North African flavours. Lunch offerings are more substantial dishes for one, while dinner is focused more on shared plates. Try the chermoula-spiced quail with tabbouleh or the beef tartare with blackberries, mandarin and honeycomb.

The seven-course tasting menu (per person €50) is a good way to experience the restaurant's global style, and the late afternoon/early evening cocktail list is one of Malta's best.
