Dinner
Black Pearl, Marsamxett Harbour, Msida
The Black Pearl, is a unique restaurant in Malta, which has an interesting and chequered history which dates as far back as 1909. The schooner remains a majestic sight, reminiscent of days gone by, when sails ruled the waves. She no longer has to face the battering seas and high winds, as she lies safely in the sanctuary of the Ta`Xbiex Yacht Marina, for a well-deserved rest.
