The neighbouring seaside towns of St Paul’s Bay and Bugibba are buzzing with places to eat. Stroll along the promenade and you’ll see the usual mix of pizza eateries, seafood shacks, and “tourist-friendly” menus promising the same old fare.

But if you’re looking for a dining spot in Malta that goes beyond average, where the food, drinks, and entire experience that feels like a memory in the making, that’s where Cheeky Monkey swings in.

We’re not just another forgettable option in the long list of St Paul’s Bay restaurants in Malta, we’re the one you’ll be raving to your mates about.

A gastropub menu that packs a punch

You want food? We’ve got food for days. And not just plain old fill-the-belly food. At Cheeky Monkey, our award-winning gastropub menu is loaded with dishes that taste as fun as our vibes. Get ready for stacked platters made for sharing, juicy burgers dripping with flavour, sizzling grills, nachos that disappear in seconds, and pastas that don’t mess around with portion sizes.

Our guests love our food. That’s why people who’ve tried us keep coming back and why we’re not shy about saying Cheeky Monkey is up there with the best restaurants in Malta.

Drinks that keep the night rolling

Of course, the food is just half the story. What kind of gastropub would we be without an epic bar? From signature cocktails to ice-cold lagers, craft beers, smooth gins, rums, whiskies, wines, and prosecco cocktails, you’ll always find your perfect pour here, any night of the week.

And because life’s too short for just one round, Happy Hour runs every day! That means more drinks, more laughs, and more reasons why we’re one of the best bars in St Paul’s Bay Malta.

Music, sports, and other monkey business

Cheeky Monkey doesn’t just feed your belly, we fuel your days and nights. Forget the plinky-plonky background music you get at some restaurants in Bugibba. Our soundtrack is designed to keep spirits high and heads bobbing, with DJs spinning tunes and live music bringing the vibe to life on the weekends.

And if you’re a sports fan, you’re in the right place. With screens around the venue, you can catch football, Formula 1, and more without missing a single play. Pair that with a pint in one hand and wings in the other, and you’ve got yourself a winning combo.

A crew to call your own

At Cheeky Monkey, the team is part of the experience. We’re not just bartenders and servers, we’re the fun-loving crew behind the food, drinks, and cheeky energy that make us stand out among St Paul’s Bay restaurants in Malta. Any time you drop by, you’ll always find friendly faces ready to chat, recommend the tastiest dishes, and keep the good times flowing. Our crew makes sure every visit feels like a night out with good friends.

Dining with a view (Monkey-style)

When it comes to restaurants by the sea in Malta, we’ve got prime real estate. Our spacious terrace in Qawra gives you front-row seats to the Mediterranean, making it the perfect spot for lunch with a view in Malta or evening cocktails as the sun dips into the horizon. As you tuck into our flavourful grub, that salty sea air makes everything just a little more delicious. That balance between relaxed seaside dining and cheeky nightlife is why we stand out as one of the best restaurants in St Paul’s Bay and why locals and visitors alike flock to us.
