Ladies and gents, let me tell you about my love-hate relationship with Zest in St. Julian’s, Malta. It’s the type of place that has you on a wild emotional ride, with one minute being “wow, this is fantastic” and the next being “what happened here?” Let’s dive in, shall we?

Sakura, a Japanese restaurant located in Sliema, has always been a favorite spot for sushi lovers. However, my recent visit was a disappointment. The food lacked the authentic taste that I have come to expect from this restaurant. Everything was over-seasoned with wasabi and mayo, overwhelming the delicate flavors of the sushi. The normal rolls were also extremely hot and lacked flavor, making for a less-than-enjoyable dining experience.

When it comes to eating out, I’m all about finding that perfect balance of atmosphere, service, and most importantly, killer grub. So, you can imagine my excitement when I discovered Country Terrace – a restaurant that ticks all the boxes and more!
