Mother's Day is a time of recognising how special Mum is and making it a wonderful day for her. This year, Mother's Day will be celebrated on Sunday, May 12. It is a time for saying "I Love You", and there's so many ways you can do that - a breakfast in bed somewhere special like the Phoenicia, flowers, cards, a classic international buffet-style lunch in a great restaurant such as the Phoenix, or for a family gathering enjoying afternoon tea in the Palm Court. You can give your Mum the day off and make her day extra-special in your own way. Famous for its 70 year plus heritage as Malta's leading 5 star hotel, and its discreet connection to royalty, stars and VIP's, Phoenicia is the perfect place to spend Mother's Day being pampered.
Bring Mum and the family for an enjoyable celebration meal with live music, and plenty of room to take a stroll in 7.5 acres of exotic gardens. Phoenicia's famous 5-star International Buffett prepared by Executive Chef Saul Halevi is an incredible buffet that offers an abundance of all your favourite foods, from tasty starters and satisfying main dishes to mouthwatering desserts. This delicious buffet style luncheon is being prepared by the award-winning brigade of chefs and includes over 50 different plate choices with an unrivaled selection of succulent fare, starters, soup station, pasta station, carvery, main course buffet with abundant meat and fish dishes, and the amazing desserts section. Amongst the most popular dishes are the duo of salmon and black olive crusted sea bass with pink pepper, duck legs braised in soya and honey, slow roasted tenderloin of beef with sundried tomato crust, not to mention every conceivable dessert with strawberries and chocolate featuring prominently. All adults are welcomed with a complimentary drink on arrival and a surprise gift for all Mums! What's even nicer is that children under 6 eat for free while those under 12 are half-price.
Executive Chef Halevi says he is very excited to be preparing a memorable Mother's Day International Buffet at the Phoenicia, “Among the best reasons to come and experience what we now offer is the fresh local bounty, some of which is grown in our very own kitchen and herb garden that we showcase in virtually every menu item. The culinary team are hard-at-work preparing to reward Malta's Mums with a subtle range of flavour sensations, tastes and textures. "
