Traditional Maltese Food at Hugz’ Alco-Hole

Malta Independent Sunday, 25 July 2010, 00:00 Last update: about 12 years ago

When you think of traditional Maltese food you would perhaps not imagine finding this in the heart of Bugibba, but the newly-opened Hugz’ Alco-Hole offers just that. Besides traditional fenkati (rabbit) and other Maltese specialities which are available on order at this cosy, friendly diner, Hugz’ Alco-Hole also offers snacks on a daily basis. Group bookings are welcome and the dining area can be reserved for private dinner parties at no extra cost, depending on availability.

The menu is varied from rabbit to horsemeat and seafood. Delicious three-course meals, along with appetizers and a nice bottle of wine in a relaxed setting make for perfect evenings among friends or colleagues.

Food is prepared fresh and bought from local breeders and farmers ensuring that the highest standards are met. The downstairs lounge is available for private parties with a fully stocked private bar offering drinks at very reasonable prices as well as special deals for larger functions. Celebrate birthdays, hen or bachelor nights or any other special occasion in the relaxed atmosphere of a chill-out lounge, or choose to dance the night away – both can be organised at Hugz’ Alco-Hole!

The downstairs lounge is also open daily for that relaxed bottle of wine after a hard day’s work along with a snack menu available. The upstairs bar is open until late on weekends and the dining area becomes a trendy bar once meals have been served. Top brand spirits, beers and wines are stocked and available at great prices.

A games room and internet service are also available downstairs, and sporting events can be shown both in the diner area and in the lounge.

Hugz’ Alco-Hole is open Tuesdays to Sundays from 6pm (group bookings also accepted on Mondays). For bookings phone on 7944 4400, 2704 0004 allowing at least 24 hours for group bookings and speciality dishes. Join the Hugz’ Alco-Hole Facebook group to receive notifications of any special events and offers available.
