hi all
chance to go awawy from about 18th oct for one week, and considering malta as never been before.
think bugibba or nearby will suit us best.
how cheap is the local beer for a pint/bottle and how much are you likely to pay the restaurants for a steak,chicken dishes, fish etc.
just come back from zante tsilivi and thought it was expensive for beer mythos was e250 bottle and e300 pint, some food like steak expensive other dishes like chicken/pork were reasonable.
this has to be a cheap holiday so would you recommend malta for us.
regards tracey
There are many bars and restaurants in Bugibba but very "english" in terms of offering cheap and cheerful breakfasts...almost all the pubs are like this. You would pay less than 10 euro's for a full breakfast for 2 people..including the drink..
A "must try" is the "pea pie" a little pie with peas in, spicy..very very nice...very very moorish. I think generally the chicken dishes are the cheapest. There is a good chinese place..who's name I cant remember now ( i am sure i mentioned it in a review) which was very reasonable in price. If you have any kids with you, there is a McDonalds etc. The tourism industry has taken abit of a dive with the recession and the Maltese themselves told us they were struggling, so there is a lot of competition..but peversely, some people put thier prices up to try and make the quick money....
I will try and find all the info I posted about bars and restaurants in Bugibba to see if I can send you the link...
Hi Val - If after that little lot, you have anything on prices in Sliema - I'd be very grateful You have got until next Easter to think about it
no pressure then..
None at all Val - but I would like to have one really nice meal while we're there, so a reccommendation would be good
Val did you eat at Granny's just up from the Square in Bugibba? We had some good meals there years ago and they were very reasonable, just wondered if they're still good value for money.
A main meal at the Bell Pub will set you back between 6 and 10 EUR.
There are a number of bars and restaurants along Tourist street and a pint is anywhere between 1.50 EUR to 2.50 EUR depending where you go of course.
I was last there in February this year as I flew out to meet up with my parents whilst they were out there on holiday for 4 weeks.
They stayed at the Soreda Hotel which is about 10 minutes walk from the main bus station and just a couple of streets away from the Santana Hotel.
Eating and drinking in Malta is cheaper than here in sunny Cyprus. It's easier for me to compare prices as we're using the EUR currency in Cyprus. A lot depends on the EUR rate of exchange for the UK Pound. It's all a bit up and down at the moment so I would suggest you change a little before you fly out but change the rest as and when you need it in Malta. There are plenty of exchange places along Tourist Street. A lot recommend changing money at "Mary's" (on the corner near Trollees supermarket) just before you reach the bus station if you're walking downhill from the Bugibba Holiday Complex (on your left), the St Antone and the Post Office. However, we've found there are other places offering the same or better so it's best to shop around whilst you still have some currency in your pocket.
Oh, and the cheapest Chemist is the one on the side street immediately behind the Bus Station
