Sliema

I based my stay here.
As per LP, there are several boutique hostels, and I stayed in one of them called Two Pillows.
It is a convenient place to stay, with many shops, restaurants and closed to ferries.

Sliema: Il-Merill

Said to be family run restaurant.
Decided to dine here with my new friends, a lovely couple from Melbourne, since it opened earlier than other restaurants.
Ordered rabbit stew, was so so.

Sliema: L'Artist

Found in Google Map and Trip Advisor.
Ordered Seafood Fury, the platter of seafood, was not bad.
Paid around EUR 25 with a glass wine.
The chef always comes out from the kitchen and asking how is the food to the guests.

Sliema: Tony's Bar

Had my first lunch in Malta here, recommended by the hostel staff.
Had the octopus pasta, which is OK, and the local beer. Around EUR 14.
Nice outdoor seating.
