Commando sits along the winding road that leads from the beautiful village of Mellieħa, through the lush valley, and down to Ghadira Bay. Nestled within a tastefully restored 300-year-old building, Commando boasts a proud culinary tradition dating back to the 1930s, a wartime era. The restaurant’s ambience has inherited the original building’s cosy charm, which is further accentuated by a tasteful, non-invasive decor.
Even on the busiest of days, our small team operates smoothly and in perfect coordination, like a finely-crafted timepiece. The menu is carefully assembled to represent both the traditional and the experimental, presenting a variety of delightful tastes, textures and colours. At the same time, daily specials add a sprinkle of excitement and novelty for regulars.
In 2025, Commando was awarded a Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide for the sixth year running, making it one of just five restaurants on the Maltese Islands to hold this distinction. To be considered for a Bib Gourmand, Michelin inspectors seek out restaurants that offer exceptional food at a more approachable price point. Since 1997, "good quality, good value restaurants" have been highlighted using the Bib Gourmand award.
