Balkan flavours come to Xlendi at this restaurant decked out in blue and white, referencing a Greek island taverna. The menu travels from Greece to Serbia and Bulgaria, and the grilled lamb dishes, stuffed vine leaves and robust shepherd's salads are all good value. There's no views of the sea, but a hearty welcome and decent Bulgarian wines easily compensate.
