Hugo’s Burger Bar
Malta’s Famous Burgers — With Labelled Halal Options
Hugo’s is one of Malta’s best-known burger names, serving Paceville from St Augustine Street until the small hours. It is not a halal restaurant — but its halal options are clearly labelled on the menu, and halal guides single out its chicken burger as a must-try.

Paceville’s Burger Landmark, With Halal Options Labelled
Hugo’s Burger Bar sits on St Augustine Street in Paceville, St Julian’s — part of the Hugo’s hospitality family that has shaped this corner of Malta’s nightlife for years. It is a full-scale burger bar: a long menu of beef, chicken, lamb, fish and vegetarian burgers, served late — until 5:00 AM on Friday and Saturday nights.
Let us be precise, because it matters: Hugo’s is not a halal restaurant, and this page does not pretend otherwise. What it offers — and what earned it a place in Halal Gems’ Malta guide — is a set of clearly labelled halal options on the menu: the Chicken Burger, the Tokyo Chicken Burger, the Salmon Burger, the Chicken Nuggets, and lamb burgers recorded as halal when they launched. Those items are still on the current menu today.
Equally plain: the full menu also includes pork items such as bacon burgers, and alcohol is served — so order from the labelled halal items, and check the labels in store or on the delivery listing if anything is unclear.

Chicken breast with teriyaki sauce — named by Halal Gems among the venue’s halal items and still on the current menu.
