There’s something magical about the Sliema seafront—the gentle rhythm of the waves, the golden hues of the sunset, and the sheer joy of stumbling upon a place that instantly feels like home. And for me, that place is Peppi’s Restaurant.
Nestled along Tower Road, Peppi’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s my go-to escape, my midweek indulgence, and my weekend treat. Whether it’s a long, lazy lunch with friends, a solo glass of wine while watching the waves, or a hearty meal after a seaside stroll, this spot never disappoints.
A Coastal Culinary Gem
Picture this: a crisp sea breeze, the soft hum of conversation, and the first sip of perfectly chilled Prosecco making everything feel just a little bit brighter. That’s the Peppi’s experience.
There’s something about dining by the water that makes food taste even better. Maybe it’s the Mediterranean air or the unrushed atmosphere, but every visit here feels like a mini holiday—no passport required.
Why Peppi’s Has My Heart
I live just five minutes away, which means Peppi’s has become my second home (and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way). Their doors are open from 8:30 AM to 11 PM, and their kitchen is always in full swing, serving everything from hearty breakfasts to indulgent dinners.
There’s always a reason to pop in whether I’m craving a quick coffee by the sea or a long, lingering feast. And trust me, I find plenty of excuses.
The Food: Where Every Bite Tells a Story
My first encounter with Peppi’s was love at first bite. I ordered their fisherman-style mussels, served with crispy golden fries—a dish so good, it made me wonder why I hadn’t discovered this place sooner.
And then there was last night’s meal—fried rabbit with perfectly roasted potatoes, all paired with a bold glass of local red wine. It was rustic, rich, and comforting in the best possible way.
Here’s the best part: no dish on the menu is over €35, proving that incredible food doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.
Pro Tip: Their seafood dishes are an absolute must-try. The mussels? Next-level delicious.
The Ambience: Waves, Windows, and Warm Vibes
While my recent visits have been a bit too chilly for al fresco dining, I always grab a seat by the window. And let me tell you—that view never gets old. There’s something so peaceful about watching the waves roll in while enjoying a great meal. Whether the sea is calm and glassy or wild with energy, it adds a whole new dimension to the experience.
And when the sun sets? Absolute magic.
The Service: As Warm as the Food
If there’s one thing that elevates a great meal, it’s exceptional service—and Peppi’s delivers every time. The staff here makes you feel like family. They greet you with a genuine smile and are always happy to recommend a dish or share a little local insight. There’s no rush, no pressure—just warm, welcoming hospitality that makes you want to come back again and again.
A Place for Every Occasion
Peppi’s isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to gather, toast, and create memories. Whether it’s:
- A bubbly brunch with the girls
- A romantic dinner by the sea
- A casual catch-up with friends over wine and seafood
There’s always a reason to visit. And if life gets in the way? No worries—Peppi’s has teamed up with Wolt Malta and Bolt Food Malta, so you can enjoy their incredible dishes from the comfort of home.
The Final Verdict?
If you’re ever in Sliema, don’t just walk past Peppi’s—walk in. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual bite or a full-on feast, this is the place that turns everyday meals into something special.
As for me? You’ll find me back there soon, ordering another round of those incredible mussels, soaking in the view, and toasting to another unforgettable meal.
