Your service is truly exceptional, and the food surpasses expectations with its incredible flavors. Opting for the taste menu is a must, as it presents a delightful explosion of tastes. The soothing bossa nova-style music enhances the cozy atmosphere, making the experience even more comfortable and enjoyable.
We had an amazing time here! The servers were so friendly and welcoming, and made us feel very comfortable. We chose the 8 course dinner. They make the dinner more of an experience by having you choose a menu by theme but without knowing what exactly will be in it, and they give you a bit of Maltese history before every dish. Everything tasted absolutely UNIQUE. Most of the mix of flavors were combinations I’ve never tasted before but were delicious. The wine selection was great and the decor was chic. We got a menu signed by the head chef was such a sweet and special way to end the night!
Our expetations were high, but we recieved just average food, nevertheless, the atmosphere and service were high class. We choose to go for classical menu, recieved fresh blue onion for the starter what was not acceptable, fish and rabbit for the mains, both were poorly executed, desserts were ok. To keep the star you must improve.
We had high hopes for Bahia based on the Michelin review and Google photos. We were planning to go for the ala carte menu, but upon review nothing stood out to us, so we opted for the ‘old Malta’ prix fix for 8 courses (the courses are unknown at the time of ordering). We were not blown away. Favorites were the palette cleanser and desserts. The fish and rabbit main courses were OK. We tend to be underwhelmed by places like this, so take this review with a grain of salt if small tasting menus are your jam.
Try to avoid looking at photos on Google so its a surprise for you!! If you're wondering if you get value for money. In my opinion- YES. It's expensive sure but the food is so much better and so creative- it's worth it. I'd never been to a Michelin Star resteraunt before. Staff greeted us by name. They served us like royalty but were also human and engaging throughout. The whole experience felt once in a lifetime. They say its better if you order the same thing- otherwise it's like reading two stories at once. Well worth spending some money on a cocktail as well- that was fantastic. Also note- they are changing the Veggie menu soon but I'm sure it'll be as amazing as the one we tried! Thank you Bahia. You somehow surpassed all my expectations.
