Burgers.Ink’s inspiration comes from the classic American burger. You can tell they’ve built their menu around the famous street food, but with a Maltese twist. Their food combinations perfectly combine local taste with American flavours.
I tried the truffle burger, and it was one of the best I’ve tasted. The mayo gave it just enough richness without being too overwhelming. There’s also the Black Duck Burger, a wild card featuring pulled duck and BBQ sauce, perfect for those craving a unique meal.

At Hugo’s Burger Bar, burgers are made with 100% Black Angus beef patties that are grilled to lock in moisture and achieve that caramelised crust. Their team then pairs it with softly toasted buns and drinks that make each bite heavenly.
I chose the spicy jalapeño burger, which instantly caught my eye once I saw the menu. It came with a generous layer of melted cheese and a kick of heat from the jalapeños. This woke up my taste buds without going overboard.
| Pro Tip: This spot is situated in a bustling entertainment hub, so expect increased noise and a lively atmosphere, especially later in the evening. If you prefer a more relaxed experience, consider arriving earlier in the day. |

Tiffany’s Bistro isn’t your typical burger joint because it feels more like a refined seaside café that happens to make really good burgers. The place has a slightly upscale vibe with ocean views and a menu that leans toward Mediterranean flavours.
Their crispy chicken burger was a surprising treat. The breaded fillet had that perfect crunch, topped with crispy bacon and a drizzle of sriracha mayo that gave it a flavourful kick without overpowering the rest.
There’s also no need to visit a separate wine tasting spot. Here, you can grab a glass of Antonin Blanc (Marsovin) or Isis (Meridiana).
| Pro Tip: Get the best of both worlds at Tiffany’s Bistro. Use your Malta Discount Card to score 25% off your bill, and pair it with a complimentary starter from the Coupon Club. It’s the perfect combo for a delicious and wallet-friendly meal. |

Villager has a bright and relaxed atmosphere, far from the usual burger joints. What’s interesting here is that there’s a mix of Mediterranean dishes on display alongside their burgers. This means your burger comes with a side of variety all the time.
I tried their farmhouse chicken burger. It’s a grilled chicken breast topped with bacon and garlic butter, served with fresh salad and fries. Their sides take the cake here, making it like a thoughtful dinner choice rather than a fast food fix.
| Pro Tip: If you have dietary restrictions (such as gluten-free or vegan), the staff seem quite accommodating. One review noted that gluten-free options were handled well. |
11. Bianco’s

Hours: Monday to Sunday: 12:00 PM – 11:00 PM
Pricing: €€
Even though it’s known for Mediterranean dishes and pasta, Bianco’s burgers deserve the spotlight. They offer handmade patties that actually complement rather than overpower. Their truffle burger is made from earthy mushrooms and smoky cheese.
A fun detail about Bianco’s: the name means “white”, which they believe symbolises freshness and simplicity. And that’s exactly what their food tastes like.
If you’re bringing along friends, you’ll love the VIP area, which accommodates up to 10 people. It’s honestly great for a fun burger birthday party or reunion.
| Pro Tip: If you’re planning a burger night but prefer to eat at home, we’ve got great news. At Bianco’s, you can get 15% off on all takeaway orders by using the code “I’m Hungry!” before checkout. This applies to orders placed online or by phone. |
