Hilton Malta is proud to present a new and alternative dining experience this summer, launching it with an invitation to members of the press. The Merkanti Bistro offers a relaxed environment for the entire family. Throughout Hilton’s 10 years of dedication and service, Merkanti was known as a Beach Club for members only however this year Hilton Malta has launched the Merkanti Bistro where anyone can enjoy a simple yet delicious and original meal every night throughout the summer and most importantly at unbeatable prices.

The Bistro is open until September and is the perfect location for any event. Be it a romantic evening under the stars for couples or group gatherings, birthday celebrations and families with kids, everyone is welcome. So with Hilton quality cooked food, free parking and a perfect outdoor venue by the sea, try to find a reason not to come and you won’t be successful!

The Merkanti menu is a completely new concept for Hilton. It is not only affordable but also extremely competitive to other similar dining venues in the area. Since parking is also included, it really is a fantastic restaurant with great value, Hilton food and service and a superb ambiance to really put the icing on the cake. The menu includes something for everyone such as pasta, pizza, burgers, salads and grills. Situated on the water’s edge with breathtaking scenery and live music, Merkanti is the ideal evening location for anyone. And as usual, free parking is included to add convenience to this fantastic venue.

Hilton Malta employed the services of a marketing agency to brand the Bistro. It was felt that the name Merkanti should not be discarded since this already holds value in the fact that it has been known by this name for 10 years. Also the name Merkanti has significant meaning for the location as situated just metres away is the Merkanti Reef, a local dive attraction. As the coral reef is at depths varying from six to 18 metres, it is suitable for both beginners and experienced divers. This is a reef full of colour and its multitude of nooks and crannies provide hiding places for a great variety of fish. The theme given to the Bistro is an Australian one adding comfort to the setting.
