Lovely food in the restaurant inside the Intercontinental hotel in St Julian's. Attentive service and innovative menu. Shame about the view from the windows onto a building site.

The staff were amazing BUT they are only operating the downstairs cafe section and not the upstairs restaurant this is NOT made clear on open table so the menu is 75% reduced seating is not as nice its a cafe attached to a hotel and booking this for a birthday dinner wasn’t as expected at all so I probably blame open table more than WB for not checking and updating their app. Disappointing

As a vegetarian (and an absolute foodie) it's really hard finding decent restaurants with good quality food. The Waterbiscuit had a variety too chose from I wasn't stuck to have a salad or a pizza. Their service was excellent and food came out really quickly. In the midst of a pandemic they still made sure you had a pleasant dining experience with tables properly distanced to ensure a safe distance between patrons. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely visit them again.

Somewhat of a 'hotel restaurant' a bit lacking in atmosphere but the food was very good with some imaginative dishes with complex flavours. Service was very attentive and a nice wine list with plenty of local wines. I would return if in St Julian again.

The service was not good: 1. Just as we arrived we did not have enough time to look at the menue and the waitress came again and again asking for our choice. 2. It took more than 30 minutes to get the food. It took so much time that just when we wanted to cancel the order, the food arrived. 3. Chicken breast was too dry and not juicy as could be expected.

We had a great time at the Waterbicuit. We were seated near a window table, as requested. The level of service was really high, the staff were extremely attentive and made good recommendations based on our food preferences. The food was delicious, we ordered different dishes and were top, probably the best food we tried of all the places we dinned in Malta over two days. We definitely can recommend the place for it's food, ambience and high level of service.

Enjoyed Friday early evening meal at Waterbiscuit Restaurant. Restaurant quiet but quite a buzz from large party group in bar area. Enjoyed cocktail, reasonably priced. First class very attentive polite service, and our food was truly delicious. My salmon main course was the tastiest meal during my visit to Malta. The desserts -if you are still hungry - satisfy in terms of both taste and plate appeal. We absolutely enjoyed our meal here!
