Diar Il-Bniet

Diar Il-Bniet is a family restaurant famous for its farm-to-table operation and Maltese cuisine, located in the hamlet of Ħad-Dingli. This restaurant is located in an old Maltese country house, creating a rustic yet warm atmosphere.

‍

Diar Il-Bniet's family has been planting on their family farm 200 meters away from the restaurant for decades. All the ingredients in the restaurant come from their homegrown produce, carefully selected, and use traditional Maltese methods to create delicious home-cooked dishes. They are loyal to their grandmother's teachings and treat food as part of the family's heritage.

‍

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was immediately drawn to the warm and exquisite farm products, not only unique tableware and farm decorations, but also many of their homemade sauces and condiments. Although this restaurant is located in a small village in Malta, its popularity is definitely not to be underestimated, so be sure to book in advance before visiting!

‍

The clerk first delivered a fresh basket of bread, kindly introduced their homemade sauce, and provided us with a very generous portion so we could enjoy it with the bread.

‍

Afterwards, we tasted the slow boiled beef bone marrow soup (Brodu bil-mudulun ta-anga). This soup was cooked for too long, so all the essences were incorporated into the hot water, and the flavor was very rich. The clerk also kindly told us how to enjoy the bone marrow in the bath. This dish was the most satisfying dish in my whole meal experience.

‍

We tasted two main courses, the first one being Timpana l-antika. This dish is made by mixing macaroni and bolognese sauce and then baking them in a bread shell. It looks a bit like lasagna, but the taste is quite different. Although its flavor doesn't suit our appetite, it shows the uniqueness of traditional Maltese cuisine.

‍

The second main course is slow-cooked veal in traditional sauce (Brađjoli tal-vitella). Compared to the previous two, this dish is more rich. My boyfriend described it as a bit like a meat cake, but I appreciated the balance between meat and vegetables, and it didn't taste good at all.

‍

Finally, when we were ready to check out, the clerk sent me a bottle of their homemade strawberry sauce! The entire dining experience exudes the intention of a family business, and the decor of the restaurant creates a warm atmosphere. This restaurant is only a 20 minute walk from Dingli Cliffs (Dingli Cliffs), so it's definitely worth a try!
