Ta’ Marija restaurant in Mosta celebrated their 50th anniversary on Saturday, October 25. The Maltese cuisine restaurant hosted a charity dinner in aid of the Malta Community Chest Fund to mark its milestone.

President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca honoured the event with her presence and over €2,000 was collected.

At the event, the Muscat family hosted a wonderful evening taking guests through 50-year journey of exquisite Maltese cuisine, which brought with it a plethora of artists, folklore dancers, foreign singers and local musicians who have bejewelled Ta’ Marija’s history. Live entertainment was provided by Enzo Guzman and Tony Camilleri, Paul Curmi Folklore Dancers and Ta’ Marija’s delightful trio playing mandolins and guitars.

Ben Muscat Jr, who runs the restaurant along with his mother Maria, says, “we want to thank everyone who has supported us since my father and mother started out in 1964. This is a tribute to their hard work and our loyal clientele over the past five beautiful decades. There is no better way to express our heartfelt thanks than to give back to charity.”

The award-winning restaurant is today the leader in Maltese and Mediterranean cuisine, offering sumptuous dishes in welcoming surroundings, complemented by an exceptional service and a place where you can dine, dance and sparkle all in one place.
