THE GREAT DANE

The affection between a human being and a pet is one that provides both species a strong emotional feeling. The first of these pets to be domesticated by man was the dog, around 15,000 years ago. This long term relationship has created a special bond between the canine race and humans and is built on trust and mutual understanding. A dog's ability to love is unconditional, which is why they make such great companions. This restaurant was born in 1979 together with the opening of the Mellieha Holiday Centre and was named after Bond, the pet owned by Carol, the late owner of this restaurant. This loving, friendly and loyal dog was a Great Dane and omnipresent around the Mellieha Holiday Centre. For more than 45 years, this eatery has been ensuring guests feel welcome and cared for during their stay.
