Good food and wine is an important part of the Maltese culture, therefore we had to stop by The Harbour Club.
A restaurant with a breathtaking view overlooking the old town of Valletta, The Harbour Club is the perfect location for a romantic dining experience.
Once again the team and I were fortunate enough to experience this quaint little restaurant that is filled with a rich history.
For starters we had the pleasure of indulging in three wonderfully curated dishes. First, was a delightfully fresh Tuna tartar marinated in olive and black pepper, topped with cherry tomatoes, buttermilk and basil cream sauce. This dish was absolutely outstanding.
Secondly, was a delicious traditional Maltese "Nanna's messed up Aljotta soup" consisting of mussels, clams and a variety of vegetables in a creamy soup.
Thirdly, was a tasty acquerello risotto with green asparagus aged pecorino cheese and crispy guanciale.
For our main course we had a wonderfully prepared milk fed veal sirloin served with a cashew nut pureé, dehydrated grapes topped with cashew nuts.
We also opted for the calamari and octopus dish served with squid ink.
Our last main was a seared tuna steak dish accompanied with rolled stir fry vegetables and crispy potato cuts.
Food without wine is like a day without sunshine right? As we are in Malta, we decided to pair our food with a traditional Maltese wine, Chardonnay "ISIS." With delectable fruity notes that enhanced the overall dishes that we had selected, this wine was fantastic.
If you're visiting Malta, I highly recommend adding this restaurant onto your list!
