A chic space in the heart of the quaint village of Dingli in Malta.

Chef Patron Jean Pierre Dingli

What people are saying about Barbajean.
“Simply divine starting from the unique and sought-after Maltese Sausage Scotch Egg, the silky pasta handkerchiefs (my personal favourites) and the gorgeous and perfectly cooked 12-hr short ribs and lamb. Pity couldn't manage dessert but that just gives me an excuse to go back!”
— Miriana93
“An excellent set up and decor , service was excellent and food of great quality. Highly recommended.”
— ConradDeGiorgio
“We were at Barbajean last Monday and were surprised about the wonderful menu we got there. All dishes we had were very delicious and were nice decorated. The staff were extraordinarily friendly and helpful. We are lucky that we found that nice restaurant and can recommend it without any restriction!”
