FESTIVITIES BROCHURE Christmas and New Years 2020 Hammett’s Macina

Unimaginable history seeps from the Maċina’s ancient walls. Built almost half a millennium ago by the Knights of Saint John, the Maċina has been a landmark for centuries. Now it hosts Hammett’s Maċina Restaurant, a Michelin rated establishment headed by award winning restauranteur Christopher Hammett.

Situated beneath the imposing bastions, the Maċina restaurant and terrace is the ideal place to host your next event. The beauty of Birgu right across the water, the marble tables, velvet sea-blue booths, brass furnishings and cool grey walls as well as the subtle lighting make this an exceptionally classy location.

Drawing on history, the gastronomical concept is a take on the islands’ succession of powers with a modern representation of traditional Mediterranean culinary influences that date back to the Phoenician times. Our venue is equipped with an elite kitchen team and a dedicated, attentive staff. We can assist with the entire event planning process. Our talented Head Chef Jorge Lugo creates stunning canapés and set menus using only the finest local, seasonal produce. Each dish is constructed with refined and immaculate attention to detail.

We feel that events are opportunities for us to work more closely with our guests; occasions for us to share our dedication to your celebrations in exciting new ways. Christmas Day - €60pp
