                              Perfection. The staff was incredible. Very professional welcoming. The ambience was lovely. And the food was incredible. Everything tasted fresh and the sirloin tasted amazing. Choose the dessert wisely wisely as they are all really well made and incredible and you wouldn't want to share!

                              We all really enjoyed the evening we had at "Little Bastion" We were treated like Royalty! The staff, the service, the food and ambience was just amazing. Our friends, who were visiting, said it was their favourite place they dined at. My partner is a vegan, albeit a fussy one and he did enjoy his meal. May I suggest that with the main meal perhaps add in some protein, like tofu just for an for example? We will certainly be back. I was especially pleased as I was first taken there 3 years ago when it was still Hammetts. I really hoped it would still live up to my expectations as that was a wonderful night, but it was even better. Thank you.

                              Delicious food in a beautiful setting with fantastic service from all staff who took the time to engage with us and made us feel very welcome. This was our last dinner date whilst visiting Malta so we chose something a little special. We were not disappointed and a special shout out to Kenzo who looked after us. I would definitely recommend a visit to The Little Bastion for those seeking something a little special and as I have a shellfish allergy it was lovely to have a menu with more than one option for me to choose from. Beautiful view from the outside dining area.
