Welcome to  the Chophouse – the place to enjoy excellent meat and good wine, whilst taking pleasure from the magnificent view of Valletta across the creek.

We have gone and will continue to go that extra mile to ensure all that is necessary in sourcing, preparing and serving your food and wine. We butcher and hang most of our meat ourselves, serving all cuts, from head to tail. We use only the very best ingredients available and cook on the largest charcoal grill on the island. We store our wines in a large humidity and temperature-controlled glass cave.

We are proud of our passion and take pleasure in sharing this with you.

Drinking Down Under @ The Chophouse

Thursday 26th January 2012 @ 8pm

For our first encounter with wine of 2012 @ The Chophouse Restaurant,

we’re off ‘Down Under’ to celebrate Australia Day.

Australia Day previously known as Anniversary Day, Foundation Day, and ANA Day is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, the date commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788 and the proclamation at that time of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of New Holland.

Although it was not known as Australia Day until over a century later, records of celebrations on 26 January date back to 1808, with the first official celebration of the formation of New South Wales held in 1818.

We felt that this was a good enough excuse to get together and organise our first encounter with wine for 2012 and in the meantime taste some of the great wine Australian has to offer.

Penfolds is an Australian wine producer, founded in 1844 by Christopher Rawson Penfold, an English physician who emigrated to Australia, and his wife, Mary Penfold. It is one of Australia’s oldest wineries and a company brand with an extensive product range, including the iconic Grange.

Yalumba is a winery located near Angaston, South Australia in the Barossa Valley. It was founded by a British brewer, Samuel Smith, who emigrated to Australia with his family from Wareham, Dorset in August 1847. Today Yalumba is Australia’s oldest family-owned winery.

Sommeliers from our wine merchants will be present to introduce the wines being served to you at table.

All the wines chosen for the event are available from Ten Green Bottles, Mdina Road-Zebbug. info@tengreenbottles.com.mt

To reserve your table please call the restaurant on 2060-3355. Alternatively e-mail us info@chophouse.com.mt.

Thank you, Euan Philips, restaurant manager.
