Amazing Dining Experience - Muża was one of the best dining experiences I have had in recent years. The atmosphere was great and the service was amazing. Our waiters Venkata (Sorry if I spelt... read more that wrong) and Jamal were both very polite and attentive to our needs. The food, courtesy of Chef Rebecca, was perfect and very well-priced for the quality and portion size. Thank you all for such an amazing evening! On a separate note, I also recommend going to the museum before dinner, as that too was very enjoyable. You need at least 2 hours to really enjoy the experience of the museum.
February 5, 2023A classy experience with a very reasonable bill. - We had lunch at Muza today, cauliflower soup was divine, I had te chicken and my partner she had the pork. The waiters were very attentive and recommended a nice... read more dry glass of white wine for me. Bill was a very reasonable 72 euros, further more the whole experience was classy, looking forward to our next visit already.
April 19, 2022DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET? - Not sure I should tell lots of people, but you’re my TA family. This is a gem of a place, situated in a 16th century palace which also houses an... read more art museum. We chose the outside courtyard setting. It’s perfect for a romantic meal away from the maddening crowd. It’s very understated and pleasing to the eye. The menu is limited due to covid, but the food was cooked to perfection and the wine served as it should be. There was no “you can only have the table for 2 hours” which some restaurants are doing, we were there from 7.30 through to 10.15pm. The meal is unhurried which we much prefer. The waiters were friendly and attentive but not in your face. The added bonus was that they have live music on a Friday and Sunday night. We had a fabulous evening and it will be first on our list when we return to Valletta, as it’s rather special. Finally it’s prices are on a par with most Valletta restaurants.
September 21, 2021Breathtaking Scenery and Great Food - We booked MUZA as a last-minute dinner before we left Malta and boy, were we surprised. I assumed it would be a family-run restaurant in a traditional location,... read more I hadn't noticed it was in the National ART Museum! We dined in the courtyard, under the stars surrounded by architecture, art and history. It was a feast for the eyes and belly. The food was wonderful and really inexpensive. Our bill for 3 courses, 2 cocktails and including a tip was a little over €100 and worth every penny! Book this place!

Excellent food and location - The location is excellent - you eat in a court of a museum. The food was delicious and beautifully served. However, the service needs to be improved as we had... read more the impression that the waiter was the museum security man. He was doing his best, but it was clear that there is need for a training - he forgot to bring the 2nd menu, we had to look for him in the museum to ask for a table, he was not very knowledgeable of the menu, etc. We understand that this is possible due to covid and the restaurant has to survive somehow. It is definitely worth it if you are looking for a delicious salmon and home made dessert.
July 26, 2021Celebration made perfect by Muza - We booked a number of tables in accordance with Covid-19 restrictions as we wanted to at least celebrate my daughter's Holy Communion with the family. From the begining Muza were... read more forthcoming to all requests related to setting and menu. Ample choice for the menu and we were set in a corner of the courtyard being thus given some exclusivity. Gabrielle and Mr. Lombardo were fantastic in answering all our queries and assisting as required. The food was delicious and all our guests praised the food and service too. Cake was also as desired. Thank you to Muza and all the stuff. Highly recommended, we will be back.

The food was exquisite, in fact, we asked the chef to come home with us and cook everyday. Such friendly staff all round. The dining area we were in was kept clean, tables well spaced and safety at the forefront. We will definitely visit again!
