A small family-run restaurant in Bugibba

Venus is a small family-run restaurant in the heart of Bugibba. The menu offers Mediterranean starters and mains, with daily specials of fresh fish and meat cuts accompanied by local produce. We look forward to hosting you.

The kitchen leans on Maltese tradition alongside Mediterranean cooking: slow-cooked rabbit roulade with Maltese sausage, rabbit ravioli and the day's fresh catch, all built on local produce. The room draws families from across St Paul's Bay as much as visitors staying along the Bugibba seafront.
