Like the earth it's named after, Klay is warm, honest and shaped by hand. We sit right on the water at Balluta Bay, where glass walls frame the turquoise lido, the promenade and the neo-gothic Carmelite church — and the kitchen cooks the Mediterranean the way it's meant to be eaten: generously, and in good company.

Went 3 times I liked it this much! … The octopus was divine, so well cooked and crispy. The burger was one of the best I've had. … The staff were so lovely and accommodating.
The frutti di mare pasta was the best we had in Malta (and finding a good one turned out to be quite a challenge).
Beautiful location and even better food! … Service was really fast despite the place being packed, our waiters were happy to answer any questions.
Beautiful and chic bistro spot at St. Julian's bay, one that makes you want to brunch for hours. I relished their potato gnocchi with a glass of Maltese rosé.
The views on the terrace were amazing, especially at sunset. The fried calamari starter was YUM especially with the tartar sauce — would recommend!
The nicest bar in the Sliema area easily, such a nice atmosphere in the outside seating bit … Paloma's are a drinks highlight. Staff are highly professional and you don't feel rushed at all.
Honestly this place is so good we came back two nights in a row and shared between four both times, so tried a lot of the menu. Every dish was delish.
Great breakfast spot with a great view of Balluta Bay and the Church over it.
Right on the water. Beautiful view thanks to the surrounding glass walls. A pleasant atmosphere. The food was excellent!
Delicious food and nice modern atmosphere! … Dishes tasted like in Italy. We had a spectacular evening! Cocktails were perfect as well.
The food was incredible, with generous and satisfying portions. The service was also excellent and prompt.
I visited Klay regularly for my morning coffee and found it to be the perfect spot for working and studying.
