For an informal atmosphere accompanied by excellent traditional Maltese cuisine...

...there is only one place to visit,  Il-Barri Restaurant. Typical Maltese "Fenkata" (rabbit) dishes galore are the speciality of the house.

Il-Barri restaurant is located at Mgarr, right in the village square. The restaurant, being on three levels, lends itself well to different functions, which may include staff dinners, business lunches, and parties for special occasions, engagements, weddings and even conferences. Each dining space can be run independently from the other and therefore it is possible to offer privacy to our clients who want to use the restaurant for a particular function. The recently refurbished ground floors restaurant seats 80 people comfortably. On other floor the restaurant can take up to 120 persons in the spacious 1st floor hall, and another 80 persons in the rustic ambience of the floor below ground floor.

Il-Barri Restaurant has a vast a la carte menu with items varying from traditional Maltese dishes, a wide range of starters which one can find pasta with different sauces, soups, salads and others, various grills and fresh fish according to availability. Pizza is served in the evening. Our speciality is Fenkata amongst which is served in an earthware casserole dish. The rabbit can be served fried with garlic, in wine gravy or stewed. Other traditional dishes include beef olives (bragoli), horsemeat and quail.

At il-Barri you can enjoy the real pleasure of Maltese cuisine at its succulent best. Maltese food excellently cooked and served in a totally relaxed atmosphere… the true taste of tradition.
