The Bacchus is a lovely wedding venue which also houses a restaurant in its historical building situated in Mdina.

General information

Bacchus is housed in two separate chambers built by Grand Master Fra Martino De Redin in between 1657 and 1660, initially serving as gunpowder magazines for the main fortified bastion built by him to fortify the Old City of Mdina. These aristocratic chambers have been transformed into the perfect environment for enjoying a first class meal and reception with warm service.

The Bacchus has been preparing and serving quality food and experiences for over thirty five years. Bacchus boasts indoor and outdoor seating areas, a private secret garden, a stately hall and a large garden. This is the legacy of owner and long-standing managing director Mario Vella Gatt, who ran the restaurant for 45 years prior to passing away. It is now carried on by his family and loyal staff.

The intimate venue, has three main areas:

Restaurant area (at the entrance and ground floor) - ideal for sit down dinners and receptions
Outdoor Garden area (first floor) - ideal for summer sunset weddings
Ballroom (first floor) - ideal for winter weddings or as a backup location to the outdoor area.
