One of the tastiest burger stops in Paceville is Hermanos burgers. Every day on holiday is cheat day with huge, mouth-watering burgers – and it’s only a few minutes from Paceville’s nightlife! The perfect way to end a night out.

Prices start from €6.95 so it may be more than your fast food burger but worth every penny. With veggie and vegan options, everyone is welcome to treat themselves.

The Scotsman Pub

The Scotsman is located on St. George’s Road, the busiest road in Paceville. This is a Scottish owned and themed pub and grill that has one of the friendliest atmospheres in Malta. Everyone is welcome here so long as you like a good drink and a little bit of banter.

The Scotsman serves top quality British classics and we recommend the fish and chips, or their banging Sunday roast dinner. They also stock a wide selection of booze, including some favourites that you’ll love from back home. If you take a tour of their whiskies, you’ll find yourself stumbling out of the Scotsman in no time!

The Scotsman is open every day from 10am to 12am and open ’til 1am on weekends

The Black Pearl

The Black Pearl looks over the Msida Yacht marina and is one of the most unique restaurants/bars in Malta. Built within a 100 year old wooden Schooner, you wouldn’t be able to miss it even if you tried!

The a-la-carte restaurant on the upper deck offers tasty Mediterranean dishes including delicious, fresh seafood. You can also hire out the lower deck if you fancy a private party. Who wouldn’t want to spend their afternoon as the captain of their very own ship?

The Black Pearl is open every day from 6pm to 11pm and is also open at 12pm to 4pm on weekends
