Lunch at the Palace!
This week in Malta my daughter and I went to Naxxar which is
a very picturesque town in the heart of Malta. Parking there, like most places
in this country, is a bit of a nightmare and my lovely daughter became a bit of
a monster. Not only is she 7.5 months
pregnant and looks a bit monstrous but she’s developed a very, vile tongue and was
spouting profanities like a Ranger’s Supporter at half time in an old firm
game!
We went for lunch to Palazzo Parisio which dates back to 18th
Century and gives the best service I ever get in Malta. Their philosophy is to
ensure everyone has the best possible experience whether you are a beggar or a
king. Bought by the Marquis Giuseppe Scicluna in 1898 and is now run by the
mother and daughter team; Christine Ramsay Scicluna (Baroness of Tabria) and
her daughter Justine Pergola.
This venue showcases a very eclectic collection of Maltese
art inspired by the styles created by Italian artist who previously lived on
the Island. The beautiful surroundings include a dreamlike garden enclosed
within the walls of the beautifully renovated palace, mirroring its lavish elegance
and opulence.
The servers who brought us lunch were charming and even
helped to look after a very tetchy two-year-old in the remnants of a tantrum. Uri
was very kind and sat us in a corner away from everyone else. Lucia, who was delightfully
petite was as efficient as a sergeant major with an extremely delicate way with
her.
The food was fabulous and the afternoon completely charming
from beginning to end. I’ve been many times before and have never been disappointed.
Summer, Winter and Spring all offer different backdrops to a very glamourous
and indulgent experience at a very reasonable cost!
The only thing missing for me was my very favorite ItalianAroma Coffee but I’m sure I had this vision in the garden and maybe next time
my dream will come true!
See you next time…
