What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners highlight the extensive buffet and family-friendly atmosphere as major draws. While some praise the fresh ingredients and attentive service, others express disappointment with food quality, citing dry meats and under-seasoned dishes. The ambiance is generally modern and appealing, though the food sometimes fails to match expectations.
"Great place at the danish village. The food, the wine and the service was 11/10. First day of our 8 day vacation and the great dane has set the bar very high for the rest of Malta"

"Disappointed with the food- the beef tenderloin was so dry, even tho you could taste the good quality cut however it was dry and under seasoned, and the sauce was barely there. We had to ask for sauce and we got the wrong sides. And the arancini had no flavour and and not fit for a main course. The waiters were very nice and should get credit for their work. It’s newly renovated and modern and seemed kid friendly. But shame the food did not live up to the atmosphere."
Christina Grigoraki
"We are spending two weeks at the MHC every year and are getting breakfast and dinner at the Great Dane restaurant.
The food is fantastic and Steve and his crew are very friendly and service minded.
We are really enjoying our stay and are definitely coming back.
Thank you Steve and crew. 👍"
