This weekend — and the next — we’re celebrating Halloween at OyOy Restaurant with a seasonal twist: a creamy Pumpkin Risotto with Guanciale and a special cocktail made with real pumpkin purée. Available Saturday & Sunday at lunch only, on our sea-view terrace. Autumn flavours, Mediterranean spirit.
Limited Halloween Edition (lunchtime only)
This short-run menu embraces autumn without losing the essence of our cuisine: local produce, precise technique and balanced flavours. Pumpkin brings sweetness and silkiness; guanciale adds smoky, savoury depth; a shower of pecorino and herbs from our garden completes the dish. We pair it with a pumpkin cocktail made from real purée, gentle spices and Maltese citrus.
Why Lunch on the Terrace
Maltese autumn gifts us soft light and a sea breeze—perfect conditions for an unhurried lunch with the Mediterranean as your backdrop. Our front-of-house team paces service so you can relax, then linger over a spiced coffee or a light digestif if you wish.
