Hammett’s Monastik makes use of locally sourced ingredients and seasonable produce – with meat purchased from local farmers and bought whole.

Hammett’s Collections’ latest shared dining experience, Hammett’s Monastik has finally opened its doors on the Tigne Seafront in Sliema. With a menu inspired by continental European cuisine and using only locally sourced ingredients and traditional techniques of preservation, this new restaurant is as delicious as it is sustainable.

The name ‘Monastik’ derives from the techniques used by self-sufficient monasteries who live off local land. The use of only local produce is a testament to the restaurant’s tight-knit community of local farmers who use sustainable organic practices and pesticide-free crops; offering mouth-watering dishes while preserving our land for future generations.

To top it all off, Monastik is collaborating with a local farmer to revive the flour production and harvesting industry, together with a number of others in Malta, to utilise in its own dishes.

Even the cocktails at Hammett’s Monastik are sourced from sustainable suppliers, so the mixologists can offer a cocktail list with many “100% organic” markings.

Our tip is this; do not approach Hammett’s Monastik as your everyday restaurant, but as an experience which consciously tingles the senses while courting your palette with game-changing dishes. Even the wines and cocktails are created with ingredients sourced from sustainable suppliers, so you’ll be satisfying your tastebuds while feeding your soul.

Hammett’s Monastik is open for breakfast, happy hour and dinner and encourages multiple dishes to share per table to satisfy its shared meal format, so if your squad is a group of foodies, let them know and head to Hammett’s latest venture ASAP.
