Description

Named after the famous British Prime Minister during World War II the Churchill is a reastaurant and Bar, located at the harbour, with a teracce which offers a great view on the harbour and the fishing boat. At the same time it is a cave restaurant, dug into the limestone of the hillside, crossing Triq San Xmun Highway 113 underground. On the left side of the harbour is a series of cellars, which were dug by the fishermen as storage areas. Some are still used for this purpose, but one was transformed into a restaurant. There are several chambers in the rock, mostly rectangular with barrel vaults. The area of the bar is in a chamber with a lower ceiling, the restaurant room behind is a lage chamber with a high ceiling. It is used for festivities like weddings.
