Description

Established in 1964, Ta’ Marija Restaurant is one of the island’s most historically rich restaurants. This long-standing experience, coupled with our chefs’ explosive creativity, has enabled us to introduce a new take on Maltese cuisine, one that serves as a fusion between the old and the new.

For an evening of culinary delights sprinkled with a lot of liveliness, come for our special folklore dinner shows. These special nights start at 7:30 p.m. and end at approximately 10:30 p.m.

After dinner, our folklore show featuring six dancers in traditional eighteenth-century costumes will lure you into a jovial story of Maltese history told through dance. Our dancefloor also elevates to enable you to watch the show comfortably from your dining table. After the show and après-dinner, the restaurant’s dancefloor will light up with soft or popular music according to the mood. Come and make memories with us during a truly unforgettable evening.
