We baptized my baby sister Anabel today. Quiet little ceremony, just the family with my uncle, a priest, celebrating mass.
And what does that mean? A hearty meal at an expensive restaurant right after! The place is called Iċ-Ċima ("Cheema", don't ask me what the fuck that means), and it's situated in Xlendi. A ground floor and a first floor with a nice view, which you can reach by means of a lift.
The menu didn't really have the greatest variety in the world (but then again, not every restaurant should make pizzas and hamburgers), but they sure know how to decorate what they make. The most presentable food I've ever seen. When you order a soup they decorate the surface with grated cheese in the form of a giant cobweb. And that shit takes some talent.
They have the largest plates I've ever seen as well. And I mean they're totally bigass. My bread-encased mushroom fondu (yeah, you don't see that often here) was like, half a Maltese loaf of bread. That was the starter. Then the peppered fillet was the size of my fist but it was LOADED with pepper sauce and potatoes on the side.
So, if you want to go somewhere with a view, particularly in the summer, and you have a full purse but an empty stomach, this place is for you. The food's all good, the presentation is great, the staff is nice, and the money is worth it. You pay big, but you eat big.

Yayness to Anabel !
And keep blogging about food. I love food :G
A Cima is some kind of fishing net used to catch a certain kind of fish, but don't take my word for it!
Yeah I heard a lot of good reviews about that restaurant.

Thanks for sharing the site and the info, the name sure makes sense that way, considering the restaurant is right by the sea!
