Christmas Lunch Malta: Celebrate the Festive Season with AX Hotels

Our Services | 0 min read |

Christmas is a time to unwind, visit with family and friends and share a good meal together. And while some people love to cook a big Christmas lunch at home, others like to leave the cooking to someone else and spend more time around the table with the people they love.

If you are looking for somewhere to enjoy Christmas lunch in Malta then AX Hotels has a number of restaurants and hotels across Valletta, Sliema, Qawra and Rabat. Choose from a traditional festive buffet, fine dining or relaxed family and friend dining.

Where to Eat for Christmas Lunch in Malta

Where you have Christmas lunch often depends on who you are celebrating with and what kind of meal you have in mind.

Planning your Christmas Day Lunch or Christmas Eve Dinner

Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for hotels and restaurants so it’s worth planning your celebrations early. If you already know how many people will be joining you, start by choosing the location and dining experience you’d like to have. Then browse the festive menus, check availability and then make your reservation.

If you are looking for Christmas Eve dinner in Malta, you might want to opt for a more relaxed dinner or special dining experience to kick off the Christmas festivities. A buffet or restaurant lunch is a great way to bring the family together for Christmas Day. But whatever you have in mind, it’s always a good idea to check the menu and book arrangements for your chosen venue before making plans.
