The Cave - Mellieha

The cave is part of a hotel and is only very small. There are no views as the area is built up and a wall separates the views to the sea. The crispy pork belly was boiled and not crispy at all. As for the sea food spaghetti after picking up a large prawn the whole thing exploded and left a brown mess all over my hand and plate. I don’t complain so this is not one of those reviews. However, sent it back even the waiters were smelling at the plate. There are better experiences in the area.

The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and the food is delicious. The portions are generous and the staff is friendly and accommodating.

This restaurant did not live up to its advertised standards. While it may be a nice extra for hotel guests, we booked for a nice meal out and were left disappointed. The atmosphere felt like being in someone else's hotel by their pool. The space was very small and the service was not very professional.

The photos on OpenTable was all a facade. It’a taken at an angle to make it look nice. It’s a hotel pool bar. Not a restaurant. We got there and since we made the trip all the way out decided to sit. No one came after 30 mins we got up and left.

We were not impressed with the ambiance of the restaurant; the pictures on Google are clearly misleading. It is essentially just a pool bar at the hotel, much smaller than what is portrayed online. It was not what we had anticipated, but the food was enjoyable and reasonably priced.
