How this list was checked
Halal status in Malta can change quickly, because venues close, move or change suppliers. Each place below is included only where there is a source that mentions halal meat, such as the restaurant’s own website or an active listing. Where the evidence is older, we say so. This is not a religious certification, so confirm with the venue if your requirements are strict.

How to verify halal in Malta
“Halal-friendly” and “halal-certified” are not the same thing. Before you order, ask these four questions:
- Is all the meat halal, or only some dishes?
- Who is the supplier, and is there a certificate you can see?
- Is pork cooked or stored in the same kitchen?
- Is alcohol used in any sauces or dishes?
Most owners are used to these questions and will answer them directly. If an answer is vague, choose another place.
What about the rest of St Paul’s Bay?
Most halal options in the area are concentrated in Bugibba, around Triq il-Halel, the Islets Promenade and the Pijunieri area. In Qawra, Xemxija and Burmarrad, options are fewer, so a short bus ride or taxi to Bugibba is usually the easiest route. Self-catering guests can also find halal meat in some local butchers and minimarkets, but ask for confirmation at the counter.
