Our Story

From the sea,
to your table.

Founded in 1987 by the Camilleri family in the heart of Marsaxlokk, BAĦAR — meaning "sea" in Maltese — has been serving the island's most beloved traditional dishes for nearly four decades.


Our fishermen deliver the catch of the day before dawn. Our bread is baked each morning with local ftira flour. Every recipe is guarded with the same fierce love our nanna Carmela first brought to this kitchen — passed down unchanged, plate after plate, year after year.

The Experience

More than a meal,
a memory.

🎵
Live Music

Every Friday and Saturday evening, local musicians fill the terrace with traditional Maltese folk music and Mediterranean sounds under the stars.

🍷
Maltese Wines

Our sommelier curates an exclusive selection from Meridiana and Marsovin estates — the finest wines Malta and Gozo have to offer, paired to each dish.

🌊
Seafront Terrace

Dine to the sound of the Mediterranean lapping below. Our open-air terrace seats 40 guests with panoramic views across Marsaxlokk Bay.

Guest Words

What Our Guests Say

★★★★★

"The Fenkata was unlike anything I've ever tasted — four hours of braising and centuries of love on a single plate. BAĦAR is the soul of Malta. We'll be back every single visit."

Charlotte & James Borg Returning guests from London
★★★★★

"We dined on the terrace as the sun set over Marsaxlokk. The fresh Lampuki, the local wine, the music… It felt like time had slowed down just for us."

Elena Rossi Food writer, Milan
★★★★★

"I've dined in Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe. BAĦAR's ġbejniet and pastizzi are more memorable than most of them. Honest, pure, extraordinary."
