La Stanza restaurant is tucked away in a beautiful converted military construction built by the Knights of St. John in the 16^th Century.  Patrons are welcomed by a lovely front garden and then led into a small arched hallway with a limestone bar.  The place itself creates a very warm atmosphere with its little rooms, multitude of arches and the lighting, strategically placed to accent the character of the old Maltese stone. The main dining area in Winter is a perspexed roofed courtyard or the more romantic “little” Stanza still proudly displaying the traditional Alcova and many other antique memorabilia, which remind the viewers of Maltese traditions.  In Summer, dining takes place Al Fresco, on the little terrace boasting a great view of the old Citadel and Gelmus Hill.  During the feasts of St. George and Santa Maria, diners can enjoy an unobstructed fireworks show from La Stanza terrace.

Though the menu list is not extensive, it ranges from traditional local dishes such as

Gozo cheese filled-Ravioli or Rabbit Stew to more audacious dishes such as grilled

Chicken Breast in Lemon sauce or Pork Fillets in Orange and Red Peppercorn sauce. 

Fresh fish, fresh Prawns and Calamari are always on the menu and we also offer our

customers a rotating list of nine specialty dishes every fortnight.  Our menu also takes

care of our vegetarian and health conscious diners. The average-spend for a three-course

meal including local wine is that of approximately Lm 10 per person.
