When the sun sets over the Maltese coast, St Julian's is transformed: the limestone is tinged with amber hues, the luzzu boats bob gently in Spinola Bay and the atmosphere is imbued with a vibrant energy that invites you to enjoy the outdoors. This guide will show you how to make the most of summer evenings in St Julian's and why OyOy Restaurant is the must-visit dining stop.
A Sunset Walk in Spinola Bay
Start the evening by strolling along the promenade along the bay. The terraces fill with soft music, the Love Monument comes alive with the last lights and amateur photographers compete for the best framing. Take a few minutes to contemplate the horizon and feel the warm Mediterranean breeze.
Outdoor Cocktail Bar: The Perfect Prelude
A few steps from the promenade stands the terrace of OyOy Restaurant, a privileged vantage point where you can savor signature cocktails while the sky lights up with oranges and fuchsias.
Mediterranean Gastronomic Experience under the Stars
When the candles are lit, the culinary parade begins. Our executive chef combines local seasonal produce with contemporary techniques to sign off dishes such as:
Lobster & Crab Tart with crustacean cream, apple jelly and smoked eel.
Ricotta Gnocchi sautéed in mushroom fricassee and parmesan velouté.
Meagre with cauliflower puree, leek confit and caviar beurre blanc.
