Malta in Brussels
David Gelles is in Brussels and has just dined at a restaurant called Malta. Does anyone out there know where it is??:
After a splendid dinner at Malta, a quirky restaurant near downtown Brussels, where I had a pesto encrusted rack of lamb with sundried tomatoes and sweet vegetables, and others had truffle ravioli and citrus chicken, we made our way to the MP3 Disco Bar. A small club with a long bar terminating at a cramped dancefloor, the place was packed on a sunday night, and the throngs were pulsating to all the obvious European hits: Shania Twain, Will Smith, Nirvana, and Gewn Stefani..

Yes.
It's not called "Malta" but "A Malte". It's in Rue Berckmans, St-Gilles (metro: Hotel des Monnaies) - the name comes from the Knights of Malta. The owner wanted to create a sort of "knightly" ambience.
It's quite nice, not as pretentious as it sounds and the food is very good apparentely (like everywhere else in Brussels)
So don't go there expecting pastizzi... m'ghandux x'jaqsam ma' Malta quite frankly...

Hmistax ilu. Habiba tieghi stednitni ghal dik li hi sejhet sorpriza kbira. Iltqajna. Imxejna ftit u wasalna quddiem dan l-imbierek A Malte. Qaltli: Voila! See what I've discovered! Shame on you - not knowing you've got a Maltese restaurant here. Ma ridtx inhassar festi u kelli, bhal cuc, noqghod nispjega li l-ikel li konna qed nieklu kien tabilhaqq dak tipiku Malti :) Pauvre Malte. Xi darba lil din l-imbierka ghad irrid nghidilha li dak l-ikel ma kien Malti xejn.
