Lost in Qawra / The Bell Pub Breakfast, MALTA

Some weeks ago I drove passed Qawra and noticed a lot of work going on near suncreast and Qawra Place hotel, Thought why not combined it with a breakfast at the famos Bell Pub known for its great value breakfast,I chickened out for the bellybuster !!!

[@meandersandmusings]

I have an apartment in Carolina in the Big Ben apartments on the coast road above Kennedy Grove. I love the area, especially meeting and greeting all the British 'grockles' on holiday. Can't wait to be back for good. Keep up the good work

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

That is awesome! sounds great !!

[@johnembery7801]

Hi, I cant believe the building since we were last there just over 2years ago. Pleased you enjoyed the breakfast, we have eaten in there many times and the guy you met was Mark . Sadly he lost his mum at xmas who was our friend and she and her husband moved to Malta some 20 plus years ago and live in Bugibba her husband still living there and staying, he says Malta is now his home. Mark at the Bell does a good sunday roast, and not sure if its friday or Saturday lunch , you have to book it , the best fish and chips on the island Nice to have a look around, wow the building. Thanks Steve 🇲🇹👍

[@scottchegg1390]

Go to Qawra,Bugibba twice a year last there in December went to the bell a few time for breakfast,Mark the owner Yorkshire lad and into Rugby League,Good to watch RL when its on.Good priced drinks way cheaper than tourist st and nice food too,Breakfast is good and so is the Sunday roast dinner,Try that one Sunday Steve.Might bump into you sometime Steve and buy you a pint and a bite to eat.

[@francisdacey2768]

You see, you can get lost on your own la! Can't be better than the secret garden. I love the qawra palace. The evening entertainment in the summer is proper Malta Cabernet. I love it. Best of luck my mate.

Greetings from Romania! I really like the way you directed this movie, so I subscribed. Keep close!

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Thanks for the sub! you live in a beautiful country

[@ritacaruana2689]

I remember a cousin of mine, having a holiday house, back in the early 70's , when there was none of these big buildings. Its gtown so much. Thanks for showing us Steve

[@Jbmotosport]

Steve, Wife(Maltese Canadian) and I have spent many holidays in Qawra and my favorite restaurant is across from The Bell, Reuban's Drive -In, best and biggest steaks in Malta, guaranteed. Keep Safe, Ciao

[@steevobarker581]

Reubens Drive Inn has 🐝 closed for about 3 years. Briefly called Mavericks Bar Now derelict.

[@fredpace4501]

Really good lost in qawra,I love qawra great places to eat,great bars,beautiful sea front 😀 take care fella 💙

[@lynnegili-ross7052]

We stayed in Qawra for a few weeks in 1976. At that time it was a barren rocky area with fields at the back. There was one family run restaurant, a small shop, a few small houses and not much else. We stayed in the first new apartment block called Salina Apartments looking out across the bay and we were the only people staying in the block as it wasn’t quite finished. It was beautiful then. A few years later they opened the Luzzu pool and restaurant area and now it’s all totally unrecognisable. Thanks for the video Steve 😎

[@grenadier1961]

Interesting to see how the building work has progressed since the Pandemic as we always stay in that area. That area has plus points and as well as being 5 minutes from Qawra sea front, it is also only 10 minutes to Bugibba bus station and the Aquarium. I guess that the Qawra/Bugibba area is an acquired taste, but to us it is a great place to stay and hopefully we will be back soon to our favourite hotel which is just around the corner from the old Venus appartment complex and across from the new blocks which used to be the old Salina Wharf holiday complex. Great to see how things have progresses Steve...Thank you.

[@cathygalea2558]

There was notting in the 70's now it looks so different used to run and play there with my cousins

[@davidcole7900]

Only recognised the area around the Bell went in there for some lunch last September really enjoyed it Qawra as changed so much I was totally lost watching the video.Good video Steve 👍.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes that place changed so much 😳😳

[@gosiatrzaska5794]

Good video thanks Steve

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@marychristensentttrup3155]

😄 Thanks Steve👍 for show us around / great walk ,I never go close to the water in Malta😎 ,because the rocks are a bit dangerous and smooth to walk on lol😬 much building🧱🚚 work there....so lifes go on💃 ....from Copenhagen DK 🇩🇰

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Its getting transformed to a high rise area ...good or bad not sure but many people wanna go there

[@ritacaruana2689]

The Bell is so big, like it a lot. Nice food, I'm sure

[@jesmmifs]

I live right next to the Bell. I'm in the UK at the moment, pity I could have caught a glimpse of you if I was in Malta. Hopefully the construction will be finished in the next couple of years, the dust and noise is terrible.

[@frida8961]

That was a great video Steve! Wow 3.75 for breakfast! Unbelievable! Have a great day!

[@kellzbellz5233]

Me and the in laws and my partner came over and stayed at the il palazin in buggiba last year and we’re back again end of this year! Can’t get enough 🥰

[@grenadier1961]

Love the Palazzin.

[@veronicamifsud9646]

Thanks for showing us around Qawra, looks a busy place& when all that building work is finished will be peaceful place to visit, that was a cheap breakfast& plenty to fill you up for a few hours.

[@leedalmas5665]

Breakfast looks very nice

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Thank you 😋

[@ritafreeman3252]

Wow the building sites going on , and we only were in Malta just before the Pandemic, it looks like a jungle there , although I would love to get back for a holiday sometime soon 🇦🇺😍

[@craigthompson4765]

We have had many a breakfast and other meals at The Bell pub in Qawra. Also spent many nights drinking as well. So much cheaper than eating and drinking on the seafront or the square in Bugibba. Thanks for the memories Steve

[@RD-dn7yv]

That's a breakfast - Full plate no gaps!

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes great breakfast and great value

[@tazzatamania]

Been past there so many times but never been in, then again, we're usually half board or all inclusive. Will pop in for a pint next time we're over.

[@chrisfaux5175]

hi steve me and my family stay at the suncreast in 2010 were we got rob when we were at the pool but the hotel where kindly upgrade to full board so we did not pay for anything, it took a few day to sort thing out but we still have a good time

[@aaronachetcuti3808]

Each country has its own beauty and flaws I traveled a lot in my life due to work.Visited many countries some I liked others not so much.But I never dare to insult somebody’s country. Maybe here in this beautiful Malta we are thought better.

[@MiuMiuKoo]

It has been a funny month We have had cold winds and more rain you can shake a stick at which is very odd Glad you did"nt get slimed😁 What a lot of construction going on there Not the middle of nowhere now😁Thank you for sharing your breakfast👍☕Hope to see you soon🤗💕

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes... its changed so much, still cold here 🥶

[@rachel7565]

Hey Steve 👋🏼 A nice little wander around Qawra there. That place changes monthly with all the construction 🏗 I think different strokes for different folks Steve regarding the area. I was never keen on that area myself but I am actually quite fond of it now having stayed at the San Antonio a few times in recent years. I bet that old villa you walked past behind the new Sun Crest once had a stunning view of the sea! How mad would you be to have that big hotel built right on your doorstep 😩 Regarding the breakfast Steve, I thought it looked quite nice. Although I do prefer a proper tomato rather than tinned ones! 🍳🥓🍞🍅☕️

[@markfarrugia644]

Sold out to developers without any constraints. Could have turned it into nice villas instead, with height & density restrictions, public spaces etc, what a disaster ! Imagine the noise & traffic when complete.

[@jackhawkins2758]

Lots of construction all over, I went from Bugibba to Gozo today and Mgarr is full of workers laying concrete

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes we are Europe's number one for concrete and cranes, will be wonderful when finished if ever !!

[@gaynor3976]

You'll get indigestion eating the brekkie that quick lol. My daughter in law and grandson live at the back of the Qawra Palace in Triton Mansions so know that area well. Last stayed at Qawra Palace in December 2019, loved it there. Xxxx

[@carolelatham5594]

Gosh Qwara has changed so much since I was last there. You were getting me lost 🤣

[@eddielloyd4070]

well the bell pub has grown bigger over time ,and yes fantastic value ,it was 2 ,50 euro when i last ate there , did i hear you say you was a brummy in the vid ???? my first time in malta was pure joy ,as i stayed in st julians and met a very famous maltese man ,and was invited to afternoon tea with he and his wife,, the bus terminus was a delight with the old buses arriving in the circle and the wives with the lunches for the drivers in paper bags ,, and in bugibba i found a small maltese pub with a hidden surprise in the back room , a full size snooker table ,,spent many a enjoyable hour in there ,,...great video ,,,i might be over again in the not to distant future ,,,,

[@bobby6517]

That might me the apple bar , the snooker table has gone now ,

[@eddielloyd4070]

[@harrypetrie4374]

Loved that Steve, my Sister in Law lives in Qawra, so when we are in Malta later on this year we will try the Bell breakfast, but i'll ask for fresh tomatoes. Cant stand those tinned ones, Great Video.

[@vickygibson1519]

What a lot of building going on in the area, Steve. Could have shown you a short cut to The Bell, but we would have missed all the new builds, it was good you showed us what's going on in the back streets. We've had many great breakfasts at The Bell, and their Christmas Day Dinners are worth booking. Your breakfast looked yummy, plenty of it, and a great price, well worth a visit. Thanks for the update Steve.

[@sammclean7334]

Hi Steve. I’ve been staying in Qwara since the late 80’s more or less every year up till now, going back in august. 18:11 in the film is where I spent all my summer holidays through my childhood the blue balcony’s . Always walk down this road and remember my childhood with my grandparents. ❤️🇲🇹

[@johngill7776]

From the old villas's in the day's when it would have had views of the sea and field's jump to the future and it high rise apartments.But I guess you got to move with the time's.

[@calvinrobson5397]

I stay in The Dolmen several times a year and walk through Qawra coming out on the sea front between Qawra Palace and The Suncrest just after sunrise each morning and back past The Aquarium the coastline is stunning at that time. Last September I walked the coast road to St Julian’s and from Mdina to Dingli Cliffs amazing way to see the island, heading back in May. Love your videos, Steve

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes, walking you really see the best of Malta

[@bobbythomas200420032]

A great video Steve of lovely Malta and the breakfast looked delicious.

[@Amileo350]

It’s actually Swings bar not sunnys. Imagine the noise all day if you lived there. Not for me. Great video

[@rockerbyal]

My Apt is in the same street as the Bell "Triq-it-Tamar" at back of Qawra Palace end. It is now a concrete jungle but night life and sea being so near makes up for it. Bell breakfast gotta be the cheapest in Malta.Nice Vid, Thanks Steve.

[@lesmarchant]

Thank you for this video Steve. We have been coming to Club Riza since 1990 and are due back this May. When we were last there they were knocking the Palm Court down and now I see they have built a whole new apartment block. Looks like it will be pretty noisy when we get there.

[@DorothyAllen777]

Thanks for the video Steve! I know you recently went to Birzebugia but I was hoping you can make a return trip soon. I would love it if you can take a walk around Noqra Lane . I lived there in the early 70s. It's on the other side of Birzebugia, where St George's bay is. It's been 45 years since I moved to Canada and I would love to see it again.

I will keep it in mind , take care

I understand this ...BUT its in high demand with tourists and loacls alike

[@captainseahawk4803]

Thanks Steve. Now I’m hungry for a full English .😋. That’s a lot of construction 🚧. I really hope they don’t overdo it and ruin the place . I get the felling Malta is at a tipping point and I hope wiser heads prevail with regard to over development.

[@ipg616]

I remember staying in that Venus hotel years ago, was called Reuben’s Court back then, with its sister hotel Palm Court just opposite. That bar on the corner was a nice little place too

[@terrywalker348]

Nice mooch about Steve, took me right back to the days of working on the building sites. Just think of all those flats and hotels in the summer filled with holiday makers, still it's what ever takes your fancy a'. I think I'll stick with Mellieha. How's the Covid situation over there Steve? Scotland has more now than it has ever had. Take care.

[@bobby6517]

The best breakfast in qawra is pool/snooker bar on turisti St, from a 2 to 3 sometimes 4 time a year man to qawra for the last 20 years.

[@naatjehe2874]

As a tourist I think it's a shame that there is so much building in Malta. It takes away the nice atmosphere in the towns. And the old houses look not well kept. Broken windows, not painted balconys, etc. I think they should renovate the old buildings.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Not sure what to say we need building for the growing population, and you cant force people to paint there houses ?

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes it looks a little ugly at the moment but some of the flats are very beautiful and its a popular area, It need more accommodation
