The food selection and taste was excellent. The ambience was perfect, looking out to the boats and the summer breeze was super. The service was very good with just a little more attention to detail required. Super evening!

Wonderful food, nice and quiet mid-week for lunch, great service!

Nice place but another client was allowed to dine with a huge dog who eat from the same plates and used the same utensils as normal clients. The level of the restaurant was downgraded

Always fun to go to port 21

Was served normal bread on a plate which was ordered as gluten free. Inattentive waiting staff who got the pasta order wrong so one guest had to wait for her food which was served after the others finished eating. Otherwise the food was very good.

Everything was perfect. However no chicken dishes on the menu.

Truly enjoyed the evening ☺️ food was excellent and service too. Lovely relaxing atmosphere.

Great food, fabulous setting but service got order wrong and slow

extremely polite waitress

Lovely experience excellent service always nice to return

Such a lovely evening and brilliant friendly caring service. Thank you Tiziana, Montserrat and the team

An amazing experience!

Perfect as usual

Great on all counts but somewhat exorbitant…

It was lovely. It always is at Port 21. There was a problem with the light outside. But within 15 minutes it was fixed. A restaurant I always recommend

Service could have been better

At the moment one of my favourite eatery.

I love Port 21 for the fact that the service is impeccable and the ambience is outstanding. Food is also fresh and abundantly served. No complains at all. Keep up the good work and thumbs up to the staff. They work hard to please everyone in the least time possible.

Excellent restaurant in a fantastic location. Beautiful view and restaurant very nice and clean. Food was great and the service was excellent 👌 will definitely be going there again.

Food was excellent service very poor, took half an hour for bottle of wine, I asked if you get veg or salad with fish and the waitress said either fish with chips or fish with roast potatoes! Not even bothering to answer my question! Otherwise view is second to none, and food was top, pity about the service.

Lovely evening through and through

On the whole was a lovely evening, amazing surroundings. Food is fresh and good but missed flavor.

Great views and lovely setting!

Lovely setting, good selection on Menu along with daily specials. I recommend a visit.

Lovely environment. Food good but on the costly side.

Quality of food very good as always however vegetables for fish came way too late. Fish was almost eaten when veggies arrived

Excellent from all aspects! Will definitely return

Lovely food and the view is stunning.

Very good resteraunt, excellent food and ambiance

V good. Wine could have been better chilled and our side dishes we’re a little too little for 3 persons

V good. Wine could have been better chilled and we side dishes could have been a bit more

Great experience and enjoyed by all friends present. Already making plans to go again.

A very enjoyable meal in a lovely environment

The food was delicious, service was impeccable and the place was very relaxing 😌

The service and ambiance are excellent. The fish which was really expensive was not fresh and the staff were not immediately receptive to our concern. Then they argued that other guests were satisfied with the quality. Will not visit again

Delicious food and great atmosphere,will definitely go again.

Always love it! Vibe is super and so many friendly/familiar places! Perfect location too with super view

Love the place .. never send you off and staff always so attentive

Very well served at Port 21. Good food, lovely ambience, and service with a smile. Definitely will return♥️

Lovely staff, polite and warm. The only thing is that when restaurant is full, it can be a little hard to hear each other at table (unless you have the young ears). Maybe it's more so if you are sitting next to the large window (with the amazing view). But love that place. Totally recommend

Impeccable service! Welldone to the chef! Highly recommended

Wonderful experience!!

Barring the fact that they placed our guest at the wrong table despite our detailed request for the table we required - we enjoyed the afternoon very much indeed

Excellent service!

Always a great breakfast

We loved it!

A few more individual umbrellas would help when the tarpaulins remain closed or over those parts that are not covered. Otherwise a commendable experience

A great lunch in the sun!

Always good

Excellent food and great service. The view over marsamxett harbour is a great plus.

Love everything! And one always meets friends there too!

It was a very pleasant evening. The food was good all around and staff were excellent.

Great experience!

Very slow service. Disappointing food

Nice and pleasant evening in amazing surroundings and good food

And yet again a lovely experience highly recommended

Lovely terrace overlooking the sea. Great service!

What’s not to like Another great meal with friends, consist high standards of food and service in beautiful setting. Highly recommended

Excellent as always… food, service and atmosphere.

We are 6 people and 4 of us choose fresh fish. Waiter suggested a fish of 1. 9 kilo at 6 euro per kilo. When he started cleaning the fish he noticed it want cooked properly. He took it back and he served us we told him that the fish was not as big as he suggested and we feel that it weighed much less then what we charged. We were very disappointed although waiters were offering us Giant Prawns to compensate which we refused.

Lovely place with a nice menu but food delivery and excessive time waiting to eat kind of ruined the experience.

Delicious food and great service. The location is superb!

I enjoyed every minute of my visit. I am encouraging all my friend and acquaintances to come there to relax and enjoy a lovely moment.

Lovely evening...very good food very efficient service with a smile....a wonderful experience

We were 6 persons and ordered starters to share however the starters weren't prepared for 6 to share for example the classic bruschetta had 4 pieces!!! Main was excellent.

Would have liked to have fresh wild fish and not fish farm. Service was pretty slow , waited too long for main dish to come .

Excellent food and service in a nice setting Will definitely go again

Very attentive service in a spectacular setting, and a menu offering a wide selection. Most enjoyable.

Excellent food and ambience. Reasonable prices. Problem with service was poor communication on the part of staff, but manager very efficient.

A perfect afternoon with good food, excellent service and a lovely view, couldn’t get better than that ?

The Royal Malta Yacht Club has a deep commitment to the yachting tradition. Founded in 1835, the RMYC is the only Yacht Club in Malta and is also the founding member of the Malta Sailing Federation. The club is member controlled and each full member has a voice in the use and care of the club’s facilities and services. Membership spans age and professional experience.

Whether a member owns a boat or not, the Royal Malta Yacht Club offers the benefits of a private social club with extraordinary services and facilities. The future of the RMYC is on Manoel Island. The Club will shortly be taking over a site on Manoel Island to develope into a modern yacht club with recreational, fitness, dinghy and marina facilities.

Royal Malta Yacht Club evicted from its premises in Ta’ Xbiex, operating from shipping containers

The Royal Malta Sailing Club said it has been evicted from its long-standing premises in Ta’ Xbiex and is operating out of shipping containers.

In a statement issued Saturday, the RMYC said that talks to delay a court-ordered eviction or find a new home have failed, with the club forced to find an alternative solution to continue to provide services to its members.

The use of shipping containers have allowed it to store equipment and remain in business, but the club believes that the situation will have a negative impact on the sailing community and damage Malta’s reputation as an international sailing destination.

The club runs a sailing school and has hosted several high-level races, including the Middle Sea Race, held in autumn every year.

The eviction arrived after a 2009 decision taken by the government to expropriate land at Ta’ Xbiex and hand it to the club for a 49-year lease. The intention was to rehouse the club which had been moved out of its historic Manoel Island location after the land was passed on to the Midi Consortium.

In 2014, a court ruled that the Ta’ Xbiex expropriation was illegal, with an appeals court confirming the decision and deciding that the club had to leave its premises by 13 December.

In a letter it sent to its members on Saturday, the club said that it will do its best to remain operations and find a long-term solution.

The situation the club is currently in “has tarnished the reputation of not just the club but of Malta as a host country for such events,” the club said. 

The club said that recent study concluded that the Middle Sea Race alone contributes around €5 million to the country’s economy, with a further €2.6 million worth of promotion to Malta.  

Apart from its struggle to find itself a new home, the yacht club must also contend with a civil lawsuit filed by the Malta Playing Fields Association, which is seeking compensation from the club for its forced eviction back in 2009.

Court orders eviction of Royal Malta Yacht Club from Ta’ Xbiex lido

Aqra bil- Malti

The Malta Playing Fields Association has filed a lawsuit against the Royal Malta Yacht Club requesting its eviction from the lido it is occupying at Ta ‘Xbiex, which was granted on temporary emphyteusis by the Government in 2009.

The First Hall of the Civil Court, presided by Judge Joanne Vella Cuschieri, heard how the Malta Playing Fields Association had been granted a temporary lease of 49 years on a plot of land on the shores of Ta ‘Xbiex.

It so happened that after seven years, part of this land was expropriated to the Royal Malta Yacht Club by virtue of a similar contract.

The Malta Playing Fields Association filed a lawsuit because it said that it was already occupying the land and that the land could not be given to anyone else.

The Lands Authority said that the expropriation in favor of the yacht club was done in the public interest because the playing fields association had not honored its obligations on the use of the land.

However the First Court said this was not a valid reason, and the Authority had to first deal with these issues in arbitration. Therefore the expropriation in favor of the Royal Malta Yacht Club was declared null and void by a judgment handed down in 2015.

It so happened that this club continued to occupy this land, so the Association had to open another case to evict the club.

The Court did not uphold the pleas of the Malta Lands and Sports Authority which should not have been a party to the case, noting inter alia that the Authority continued to receive payments from the club until 2019, despite the a court judgment declaring the contract null and void.

The Court granted the request of the playing fields association and ordered that within two months the Royal Malta Yacht Club be evicted from the lido.
