About

Quality Dining Since 1993

The 516 has always been synonymous with Patrick Spiteri. He has used this number several times in various outlets he has managed and operated. It was now the time to add the word Bistro to this number to better define the outlet and the genuine food that is offered.

Testimonials

Your Experience, Our Pleasure

Excellent Restaurant, A Great Experience!

We have a family member with celiac disease and needed a restaurant to cater for her needs. We had a fabulous evening free of worry because she was very well catered for. The food was cooked separately and there is an excellent children’s gluten-free menu too.

A Great Evening, An Excellent Choice

Excellent choice of restaurant for a great evening. The place gives people plenty of room to move around.
The steak was well cooked as ordered and they have a lovely Maltese boat full of seafood.

Awesome Steak and Ribs!

We have visited several times over the years when we visit Malta and it always lives up to the usual high standard. We didn’t order starters as we know the main courses are very big.
