The 50 best places to go out in Valletta

Extremely busy on Fridays when there is live jazz outside. Good service and drinks at decent price. More chilled on a Saturday but still a good crowd and a nice vibe.

Lovely outdoor sitting area with good drinks. Owner was extremely welcoming with a great positive attitude. There is also some indoor seating. They do jazz on Fridays which is probably lovely to see but we missed it

Brilliant jazz musicians in a wonderful setting on a Friday. My highlight of two weeks in Malta. Merlot was poor and no real selection and looked at like a child when I asked if they have a Malbec. Review doesn’t look great but if you lower expectation on the wine and just enjoy atmosphere and music it’s truly wonderful.

Perfect spot for wine or cocktails! Make sure you don’t miss a Friday live jazz night!!! Reservations recommend, but there are seats on the stairs as well!

This was one of our favourite things to do in Valletta. Worth booking in advance to get a table for the Friday eve jazz. Beautiful wine and food - shame there’s not a veggie charcuterie board available.

We found this by chance as we was walking by and luckily for us it was Friday jazz night, brilliant setting and location, lots of seating available, especially the cushions on the stone steps, tables on a Friday is advisable to pre book , cheese boards etc are beautiful , food and drink are both priced very reasonably, friendly staff :) no table service, we had to order at the bar :) we will definitely be back:)

Really cool jazz bar where everybody sits on the outside steps and bridge to drink and chat, and on Friday nights, listen to live jazz music. We visited on the Monday & Tuesday, sadly it was closed, but returned on the Friday for a great evening. Staff were good and poured generous measures!

Amazing cocktails. Great vibe. Friendly staff! We sat outside on the steps and enjoyed the great view. Such a great experience to sit on the steps with a small handmade table. The cocktails were incredible and creative, fair price for the location. I did get pooped on by a bird while sat outside! Staff were so helpful and got me a special “I got shat on” sticker (so it must happen a lot!) this defo added to the experience 🤣🐦 Would happily visit again and again!

I just wanted to have a beer after walking around Valletta for hours. It was love at first sight! Beautiful place, amazing staff and great drinks. I was by myself but I felt welcome and included! Thank you guys for making my stay in Malta even better!

We were in Malta at the end of May for 4 nights and stopped at Cafe Society for cocktails on the steps twice it was so nice. The service by Matz from France was what made it so special! He remembered what we ordered and was so friendly. Stop by and have a drink on the steps !

I love this place! This bar at the steps of the old town in Valletta offers some incredible cocktails, a super friendly staff and a great atmosphere! All this supported by DJs, live acts and shows. Perfect to enjoy some drinks, the music inside the bar or at the steps outside. You will always be welcomed with a smile and good vibes.

My favourite cocktail spot! Every one was unique and inventive, and it was fun to sit out on the stairs. Only issue was cleanliness, the cushions to sit on were very dirty and the steps themselves were covered in bird poop. If the cushions were proper garden ones that could be wiped down that would improve it a lot, and be a nicer environment to sip the delicious cocktails.

This was really the best espresso Martini in my whole life 😭❤️ these guys here take training and evolving as bartenders serious! Next level game they are playing. I would Give 10 stars if I could. Also a really untouristic alternative place with really cool people from all over the world that are thinking out of the box. You'll make New friends quickly! Also super relaxed to sit on pillows on the stairs of Valetta old city. 1000% love

Juan, we miss you already! He was an incredible and knowledgeable bartender. We spent a couple hours here waiting for our excursion. We didn't want to leave! Everything was creative and so many things made in house. Whether sitting at the bar with Juan our sitting outside enjoying the view, we wish this was our neighborhood bar in California. Staff were so friendly and kind. It gives you dive bar vibes but great music and drinks and truly a hidden gem.

My Experience at St. John’s Co-Cathedral Even after living in Malta for twenty years, every time I enter St. John’s Co-Cathedral, I feel the same sense of wonder, as if I am stepping into a sacred dream. This place is truly gem; it holds a presence that is both powerful and peaceful. The golden walls shimmer with history, and the silence feels alive, filled with centuries of faith and devotion. The pavimento, with its intricate marble inlays, tells another story beneath my feet rest the tombs of the Knights and the clerics of the Order. Each stone is like a chapter of history, each symbol a reminder of honor, sacrifice, and belief. It feels as though their spirits still guard this holy place. And then, there is Caravaggio’s masterpiece, The Beheading of St. John the Baptist. No matter how many times I stand before it, I am always struck by its intensity. The light and darkness, the raw humanity, the silence that follows the violence it all reaches deep into the soul. It’s not just a painting; it’s a revelation in each single detail. As an Italian who has called Malta home for two decades, this cathedral feels like a bridge between my origins and my adopted island. Every visit reminds me that beauty, faith, and art can transcend time and language. St. John’s Co-Cathedral is not only a monument it is a living, breathing miracle.

St. John’s Co-Cathedral is an **absolutely majestic and lavish masterpiece**. From the moment you step inside, you're surrounded by **ornate baroque architecture, gilded details, and stunning frescoes** that reflect the grandeur of Malta’s rich history. The site is **exceptionally well maintained**, and every corner tells a story. The **audio guide is available directly on your smartphone**, making the visit smooth and informative. It’s a great way to explore at your own pace while learning about the cathedral’s fascinating background. ⏳ **Tip**: Be sure to **buy your tickets online** in advance — it helps you **skip the queue at the entrance**, especially during peak hours. A must-see in Valletta for anyone interested in art, history, or simply breathtaking architecture!

One of the best place to visit when you are in Malta. I recommend buying tickets in advance (skip the line one). Ticket for children under 12 is free. There is audio guide available at each section. Once you scan the qr code, you can listen to it. For few sections photography is prohibited so be wary of that. Most sections can be photographed with flash turned off at all times. My favourite section was the Caravaggio one. His paintings are hauntingly beautiful and you get to understand the composition, technique etc of the art. The Caravaggio show is only held on few dates so check and book in advance is recommended.

Magnificent cathedral. THE must-visit of Malta. Its opulence is comparable to the Vatican. The level of details is baffling. The chapels per language of the Knights also brings an interesting competition between various part. I highly recommend doing the Bell Tour tour.

Beautiful. Worth seeing. I recommend buying tickets online as you skip the very long queue. Instead, there's a queue but shorter and you only wait up to 5 mins.

An absolute must-see! St John’s Co‑Cathedral in Valletta is breathtaking—from the richly decorated Baroque interior to the incredible Caravaggio masterpiece. The visitor experience is well-organized and immersive. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Malta!

If you go to only one place in Valletta then this should be it. A whole day would hardly be long enough. The Caravaggio experience was a bonus and was fantastic - properly explored the painting techniques he used in a fantastic immersive format that the overpriced and disappointing shows in London could learn from. This is just a beautiful place to be. It does cost to get in - 15 euros if you don't qualify for a concession - but it is so worth it. A 10/10 experience.

Excellent site to see the Grand Harbour of Malta. Peaceful place of flowering beauty to quiet the mind. At the overlook you can witness the Saluting Battery-traditional firing of a single canon at Noon and 4pm daily. It is impressive and loud! The firing was once used to welcome and set time for vessels in the harbour.

⸻ 💥 Saluting Battery – Valletta 💥 The cannon firing at the Saluting Battery in Valletta is absolutely awesome and a must-see! It’s a brilliant glimpse into Malta’s rich history and naval traditions, brought to life with precision and ceremony. The setting overlooking the Grand Harbour makes it even more impressive – you can really feel the history echo through the city. Definitely one to add to your list when visiting Valletta! However, I do urge you to arrive at least an hour before the midday and 1600 cannon salutes because the crowds tend to gather early, and you’ll find yourself jostling for a decent view. The views from the gardens are worth a visit alone! The surround area has a really nice vibe to it as well.

Upper Barrakka Gardens is absolutely breathtaking! The panoramic views over the Grand Harbour are simply unforgettable, especially during sunset. The gardens are beautifully maintained, peaceful, and full of history. Watching the Saluting Battery was a highlight of the visit. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this is the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of Malta. Highly recommended!

Beautiful! Not very big. If you go at 12 and 4 pm they shoot the cannons which is cool. You can pay extra to go to the lower level and be right up close.

The Upper Barrakka Gardens are a truly beautiful and peaceful place to visit while in Valletta. With stunning views over the Grand Harbour and across to the Three Cities, it’s an ideal spot for photos, relaxing, or simply enjoying the atmosphere. The architecture and layout of the gardens are impressive, and there’s a certain charm in the combination of nature and history that makes this place special. However, it’s important to keep in mind that during the high season, the gardens can get quite crowded, especially around midday when most tourists arrive. If you’re looking for a quieter experience, try visiting early in the morning or later in the evening. One detail worth noting is that the traditional cannon firing ceremony, which normally happens daily at noon, does not take place on Sundays. So if that’s something you were looking forward to, plan accordingly. Also, while the Upper Barrakka Gardens are beautiful, don’t forget to check out the Lower Barrakka Gardens as well. They are just as lovely, offer equally impressive views, and tend to be less crowded. It’s a great alternative if you’re hoping to avoid the tourist rush and enjoy a more peaceful atmosphere in the heart of Valletta.

Nice garden with incredible views of Valletta's surroundings. Also spotted a big cruise ship in the harbour! Nice flowers and a little cafe nearby!

Very nice terrace that dominates the port of Valleta. If you came via the port, you can just walk to the zebra cross and go via the tunnel to get the lift ticket (1€). A little bit crowded but still interesting 👍

The inside of the pub is very small holding only about 30 people but there are some table and standing space outside. This pub is most noted as the pub where Oliver Reed suffered a heart attack and subsequently died while filming Gladiator, and there are various photos of Oliver from throughout his career on the bar walls. You can even buy a t-shirt with his last drinks on. A bit strange but.... Worth a visit if only for nostalgic reasons.

Lovely character pub and the honour of drinking in an establishment where the late, great actor Oliver Reed spent his final day. They have a great selection of wines and spirits and local and crafted beers. Good atmosphere if you're sat inside but the only down fall was the fact there is only one sit down toilet on the premises upstairs for a busy pub to share. Not good and the toilet wasn't very clean. Wouldn't put me off for returning one day.

Lovely typical pub with great staff and delicious local beers and a wide range of spirits even if you aren’t an Oliver Reed fan, a lovely place to spend an hour or two.

​A Pint of History and Heart: The Pub, Valletta 15/09/2025 ​The Pub in Valletta isn't just a place to grab a drink; it's a wonderfully authentic little slice of history and a truly unique destination. Tucked away on Archbishop Street, this unassuming bar instantly welcomes you with its classic, cosy British pub feel combined with genuine Maltese warmth. It’s small, unpretentious, and boasts an atmosphere that makes every visitor feel like a local. ​The service is exceptional—friendly, efficient, and always ready with a smile and perhaps a great story. Whether you're seeking a cold local Cisk or a traditional British ale, the selection is spot-on. It truly captures the essence of a great, no-nonsense local watering hole. ​But what elevates The Pub from a great bar to a mandatory pilgrimage for film and history buffs is its legendary status as a powerful, poignant, and surprisingly joyful tribute to the late, great actor, Oliver Reed. ​A Toast to Ollie: The Oliver Reed Tribute ​The entire establishment is a living, breathing memorial to the iconic "hellraiser" and celebrated star of films like Gladiator and Women in Love, who famously spent his final hours here in 1999 while filming his last movie. ​The walls are covered in photos, framed newspaper clippings, and memorabilia tracing Reed's wild, brilliant career. You can see his likeness everywhere, a constant, genial presence that gives the place its singular character. The ultimate, unmissable piece of history is the framed bar tab—Reed’s final, unfinished order, a testament to his legendary larger-than-life persona, is proudly displayed for all to see. ​Sitting at the bar, having a drink, or just taking in the stories immortalised on the walls, you feel a direct connection to the actor's spirit. It's a respectful, fun, and heartfelt tribute that ensures the memory of Oliver Reed lives on, inspiring fans from across the globe to come and raise a glass to the man who truly lived life to the fullest. The Pub is a must-visit: great drinks, great service, and an unforgettable celebration of a cinematic legend. Cheers!

Good friendly touristy pub. You'll make friends here, but you may not want to see them again 😄. Music was a bit too rock for me...🤘🎸 Guiness was decent.

Lots of atmosphere and friendly staff, good beer too and of course, a legendary story to tell.

Busy, busy, busy. Very English! as expected. This Pub gets many English visitors. Very authentic. Oliver Reeds last drinking establishment. Perfect little find.

Beautiful spot to watch the sunset in the evenings, especially from spring to summer. It also has a host of restaurants with indoor and a common outdoor seating area while you enjoy the ocean breeze and sight of boats docked at their spots after sailing.

Oh my days! Valletta you stunning stunning place!!!! I had half a day and it will take weeks to explore you properly! But this is about the waterfront.... There are some proper waterfront bars eateries and casino type thing, there are charming port buildings and the staff are friendly and helpful and just lovely, then there is the lift (what a godsend!!!) and the little traditional boats too (next time!!!) and traditional tourist trap shops which we all love :)

One of our many visits to Malta and year after year it never lets us down with sheer old world charm and beauty. Take your time walking around and look up!!!!! The buildings are breathtaking in many places.

Great shopping, and great restaurants. Well set up to get travelers quickly back to their cruise ships.

Plenty of restaurants to choose from, and some interesting gift shops. Busy when the cruise ship docks, quiet when not. Lots of boats to look at.

Just love Malta...so much to see and do steeped in History and great restaurants and eaterers and shops to spend yer holiday Dosh 💯🎉💯👌

Valletta water front is a very nice place to visit. There are bars and eateries along the ship docking area and the architecture all over valletta is wonderful.

This was a really lovely edition to the temples tour and the hypogium. You can see the old large skulls and all sorts of other very well preserved artefacts from the Neolithic period. There’s 3 floors to enjoy and it’s only 5EUR entry. Great way to kill an hour or two and lots to learn / see. There’s some other periods but I personally recommend the Neolithic one. It really fits well with the ancient history of the country. There’s toilets on site

Some museums win you over with their collections, others with their architecture. This one does both, which frankly feels a bit greedy. Housed in a building so beautiful you could happily wander it empty, the museum is a reminder that the Maltese don’t do “ordinary” when it comes to stonework. The exhibitions are superbly curated — thoughtful, detailed, and arranged with a clear sense of storytelling. You move from prehistoric figurines to intricate artifacts with the feeling that someone has actually thought about the journey you’re on, rather than just shoving things in glass cases and hoping for the best. And yet, in the middle of all this, there’s the numismatic collection. Perfectly fine if you’re a coin enthusiast, but otherwise it’s a bit like finding a box of receipts in the middle of a grand opera. Interesting in its way, but it does feel like it wandered in from another museum and decided to stay. Still, that’s a minor quibble. Between the building itself, the sheer depth of the collection, and the skill with which it’s presented, this is one of those rare museums where you leave feeling smarter — and only partly because you spent two hours reading captions in your “educational” voice. Five stars, and I’d come back just to walk through that building again, coins and all.

Bottom section currently closed not sure for how long but upper level was open. There was still a lot of cool and interesting stuff to check out from various periods. The history is incredible. I would say a must see.

Next to the excavation site. Staffs are very helpful. Must see the faded painting of boat on the rock, well preserved at the museum. With some effort, you will be able to witness 4500 years old rock painting. unbelievable experience. Must go with family, kids would love this.

Fascinating exhibition. I was particularly impressed by the collection of ancient figurines. Definitely worth the visit if you're a fan of archaeology or want to learn something new about the past.

I love this museum, the staff is very well informed, exhibitions are interesting and everything is explained very clearly! Kudos for funny comics strops and the newly renovated grand room.

Awesome place. I was here on October's Sunday and it was calm, few people inside. English audio guide is British as hell (there're other options like Polish). Ask for it at the reception, there's an QR code for you to open on your phone's browser. Museum also has its own public wifi so don't worry about roaming data. Definitely take your own earphones/headphones for that. If you're curious about this island, then you must visit.

Great selection of tapas, get as many as you like. We had 1 each with our drinks. Huge range of gins. Cool atmosphere on a quiet street

Incredible food, superb drinks and tentative bartenders. Omg, soooooo happy I found this place going out for tapas with my wife. The live music was also so soul-full and plays bangers non-stop without becoming boring. Best vibe we have got Malta until now 🤟 Thank you ❤️

Small with a great atmosphere. Huge Gin menu and good Tapas. The tapas is the on bread style rather than in dishes.

great small tapas bar, with good choice of gin and tapas, all recomandation

Who said gin was only for special occasions. If you wander on a sunny day in valetta, please make it a must to sip a maltese summer. Yes it's a gin refreshing quencher (with moderation of course). At 2pm it was too early for tapas that starts at 5.30pm. Cozy small bar with a wonderful selection to try.

Place is magical! In every single detail you can feel the spirit of the place and people who run it! Well done to Milos for keeping the atmosphere on the great frequency! And remember - there is over 240 different gins!! Incredible! Music 10/10 Gin Tonics 10/10 Tapas food 10/10 Highly recommending this place!

street bar tapas are far tastier than they appear. an impressive array of gins from all over the world (although they didn’t have my first choice) friendly service. sit and watch people go by

The Museum may not be very large, but it offers a fascinating collection of exhibits. The models and dioramas are especially impressive – detailed and very realistic, they give a good sense of the history being presented. While there aren’t many military vehicles on display, the ones available are quite rare and not something you often see elsewhere. Overall, it’s a compact but very interesting museum that provides a unique perspective on Malta’s wartime history. Definitely worth a visit if you’re interested in history or military heritage.

One of the best museums in Malta. You will want 3 hours here to take in the sites, view points and lean about the history. A good 500 years of history is covered. Air con inside, and most of the museum is indoors. One of the few wheel chair friendly museums in Malta.

Very impressed by this historic monument. A bastion full of history, so beautiful and so wonderfully preserved. The tour is well structured and allows you to see lots of interesting things about such a wide span of history. My favorite part is on the Great Siege. I highly recommend this must-see!

What an excellent place to visit whilst in Valletta for the day! For just €10 you get access to the fort and war museum, plus some picturesque views across the bay. The museum itself was really well done, with a mix of written displays and video exhibits to really bring the stories to life. Each era is split across different buildings, so there is a fair bit of walking involved (including stairs) but it’s well worth it! Easy to spend 1-2 hours here.

Very well laid out, excellent and informative displays. Told the story if this amazing island really well. Original George Cross medal on display. Loved it. Allow min 2 hours. Wonderful views too.

This was a cool experience. Not only was this a fort but they have incorporated a few rooms with memorabilia from different times in Malta's history. Well worth a visit. There is a lot of steps to see everything for those that my struggle with steps. We also got to experience the VR they opened the day we visited (we were told). This is a place where if walls could talk it would amazing to hear. If you want to see everything this can take upto 1.5 to 2 hours easily. Also some great views of the sea and the skyline.

A truly remarkable historical site. The exhibits provide clear and insightful explanations of Maltese history, offering visitors a deeper understanding of the island’s rich heritage. Additionally, the fort presents a stunning ocean and port view.

Really impressive collection of armoury from the knights and they were really good at putting up signs so you know exactly what you were looking at. Really richly decorated rooms and lots of interesting history about the Maltese Knights and the wars they were a part of. They also had some old printing machines that was my favourite part!

This is one of those places you should visit. You will learn a lot about Malta’s history. There are so many swords in there. And guns. But mostly swords. There is also a possessed wax figure of a Maltese soldier. Who is obviously holding a sword. The “garden” is not a garden. It’s a yard with one tree and a statue. Well, 2 statues, if you count the security guard. We learned a lot and also bought a thing or two from the souvenir shop at the exit.

If you visit Malta this is one of the places you need to visit. The history and displays are really amazing. I highly recommend a visit. Note, if you have a bag, you have to store it in a locker. So travel very light when you visit

Really nice museum! It was fascinating to see both the old and modern parts of the history, and to learn how the palace was built. The place is beautiful and well organized. The staff, including the security guards, were very friendly and welcoming.

So much history packed into one building, a great way to spend time if it's a bit hot outside. The armoury is very impressive and the artworks are fantastic. Well worth a visit

Is this the number 1 place to visit when you come to Valletta? Some people say yes and I agree it’s at the top of the list. Some of the palace rooms are so grand you get lost in the amount of artefacts and grandeur of it all. Before you enter you must leave your bag in a locker and take nothing with you but your phone is ok. There are some water fountains along the way for drinking from too.

Rich historical place with lots of details to study and awe. It is quite big so leave minimum one hour for sightseeing. Good place to educate yourself about begining of Malta. Nice inner garden for relaxing in the shade. Lots of toilets for refreshments. At the end of walktrough there is free electrical water fountain with cool water. In general a must see in Valetta.

This was a really cool authentic home to see. They have kept and set up the home to how it would have looked like in the past. We were lucky to be one of the few people visiting the time we went as to have basically the whole place to ourselves. The underground shelter was also cool to see. The wealth some family's had from the past was astonishing to see. Worth a visit. They offer guided tours or self tours. Lockers were out of order when we visited. This is also a bed and breakfast as we saw a few people on the lower floors walking in robes, so it shares some spaces with a B&B.

Definitely a must see when in Valletta! We went for a guided tour around noon and there were only four people including us. We loved being in small group like that as the guide offered us enough time to also explore on our own and ask as many questions as we wanted. The tour feels like you’re visiting your rich auntie which I find daring. The house is not only a museum, there’s still a lot of life in it. I love visiting houses like that and this is one of the most lively ones I’ve seen thanks to more recent objects on display. A very refreshing experience. The place is still in use after hours by the family and it feels homely and cozy. It’s a bit chaotic and that’s why it feels personal. After the tour we were offered to continue exploring the rooms and the shelter in our own pace so we used the opportunity to spend some more time there.

Definitely worth a visit if you are nosey and like trinkets and portraits. The house is not very big but each room is packed with things. The audio guide is nicely organised and detailed without being too long. There is a cute tiny cafe inside on the terrace. The bomb shelter is also interesting but beware there will be mud and you will get it all over yourself if you are wearing anything long and loose.

Casa Rocca Piccola is one of the most fascinating places to visit in Valletta. This 16th-century noble residence offers a rare opportunity to step into Malta’s aristocratic past. Unlike many other historical sites, Casa Rocca Piccola is still a family home, which makes the experience even more authentic and personal. The guided tours are excellent and very informative, giving visitors a chance to see beautifully decorated rooms, antique furniture, artworks, and family heirlooms that have been preserved for centuries. One of the highlights is the underground wartime shelters, which provide a powerful glimpse into Malta’s role during World War II. The collection of costumes, silverware, and traditional Maltese crafts is also remarkable. What makes Casa Rocca Piccola special is the warm and personal touch of the guides, who share not only history but also stories about the current family who still live there. The courtyard and garden are peaceful spots to relax after the tour. If you are in Valletta, this museum-home is a must-see. It combines history, culture, and charm in a way that truly captures the spirit of Malta. I highly recommend including it in your itinerary.

A wonderful experience! Marquis de Pro one of the noble family members spoke to us. He was kind and filled us in on historical items in the home. The bomb shelter and rooms were awesome.

A beautifully preserved old family home with a fascinating collection of historical and artistic artifacts and memories. It’s definitely worth joining the guided tour — Daniel was incredibly knowledgeable and gave a full picture not just of the family’s story, but of Malta’s history as well. Kiku is an absolute sweetheart 🦜🥰

So much Maltese history in this mansion. The mansion is full of articles which spans multiple generations. Don't forget to go down to basement/bomb shelter area.

Wandering through its narrow streets feels like stepping back in time. Highlights include the impressive St. John’s Co-Cathedral and the tranquil Upper Barracca Gardens, offering panoramic views of the Grand Harbour. The city is compact and walkable, making it easy to explore on foot.

Our first real ‘wooh’ moment as we walked the city of Valetta was the Lower Barrakka. As you enter the gardens you feel the peacefulness of the area and the tranquil sound of the water fountain is calming. The views looking over the water are stunning and the colour off the buildings from the sun is beautiful.

The Lower Barrakka Gardens in Valletta are a tranquil, smaller counterpart to the Upper Gardens, offering beautiful views of the Grand Harbour. They are home to a prominent neoclassical monument dedicated to Sir Alexander Ball and a temple-like structure, providing a peaceful escape for a quiet stroll and a moment of reflection.

A very lively place with great views of sea and city . Unique variety of flowers and cute benches to sit in . The arches are very beautiful and makes great pictures . Overall stunning place with stunning view. Entry free

What a wonderful find and what a stunning green oasis on the edge of Valetta! Perfect for a quiet break from the hustle of the old city, with perfectly kept gardens and amazing views across the sea. The colourful flowerbeds and the turqoise waters make it a dream for photographers or instagram posters. Plus there is a public toilet here if you must!

Lovely views, unfortunately the siege bell tower was covered up for maintenance (presumably). There a cafe/restaurant on site and places to sit and rest for a while after all the hills/steps. Worth going via St Barbara Street for the classic balconied apartments look.

A nice and clean place. Quite peaceful, with plenty of cafés, restaurants, and shops. It’s very safe, without undocumented individuals posing as doctors or engineers like in Western Europe.

This represents the entrance of the fortified town of Valetta and the old houses and streets, leading to Fort St Elmo. You can see the 2 modern structures in big blocks of stone and the ancient ones. There is a huge place with a wonderful fountain in the center. There are some small food trucks on the side, where you can buy some affordable sandwiches, pastries and drinks of all sorts.

Valletta must be visited! Be prepared to do lots of walking up and down steep roads and lots of stairs. Filled with quaint cafes and shops. Also be ready for lots of tourists during the summer months.

Panoramic views of the Triton fountain, Phonecia building, Valletta walls and all year long tourism traffic making it the most vibrant place. Landmark of Valletta and Malta overall.

The Valletta City Gate is the main entrance to Malta’s capital and the perfect starting point for exploring the city. As soon as you pass through, you get a mix of history and modern design, since the gate itself is a contemporary structure by architect Renzo Piano, blending seamlessly with the old fortifications of Valletta. The contrast between the massive stone walls and the sleek, minimalist gate makes it a unique landmark. It’s impressive both during the day and at night when it’s softly lit. Right after entering, you’re greeted by Republic Street, the city’s main road, leading to some of Valletta’s most important sites. The whole area around the gate is lively, with plenty of spots to take great photos. It’s also a great place to just pause and admire the scale of Valletta’s fortifications before heading further into the city. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning, walking through the City Gate always feels like stepping into history. Definitely worth taking a moment to appreciate!

When i visted Valletta is a stunning city rich in history and culture. The city walls and most was excellent walking across the bridge.The magnificent St. John's Co-Cathedral is a visual feast and definitely overwhelming, i visited the Upper Barrakka Gardens offer breathtaking views of the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities, making it a must-visit spot. The city is quite hilly, Amazing views looking down the streets, flags, shops and beautiful buildings. Pletty of cafes, places to stay, can be a bit hilly walking around. The city is total amazing, so much to see.

We were really pleased with the food. We ordered from both the Asian and Italian menus and everything was delicious. The variety of dishes was excellent.

Love it here for snacks and a food shop for self catering! We got a delicious pizza from one outlet (ricotta, spinach, honey and walnuts) and timpana from another stall. Both delicious and washed down with a couple of pints of ice cold Cisk! 🤩

Toilets are top floor top right and you need to purchase food to get the code for the loo door,, which is guarded by the Knights of Delhi.. You can't just pop in here for a pee folks. We didn't we actually went for the food.... So many top choices in lovely air con environment. Will get very busy but is a great place for all around the world foods.. Top little venue.

Love this place air conditioned plenty of food to choose not too expensive games upstairs for kids or grown adults to play everest is a very nice Indian and bar inside

The food market has a lot of different restaurants with a variety of cuisines to offer, and we opted for the Konak kebab place. It was something worth trying for the flavor and the price. The lamb meat they offer tasted amazing.

Valletta food market- it is like a food court. So many venders, different cuisines for any sophisticated pallet. I like this kind of concept because everybody can choose different meals but still eat it under one roof, at same table. Don’t miss it out!

The octopus in garlic was great. Momo from Nepalese corner too. Good air conditioned place to eat. Kinda food court.

The wine and the cheese were heavenly. Great service and recommendations. They were fast and knew everything about the food and drinks. We’ll definitely come again and recommend this place! It’s good to know they mostly serve wine and only be the bottle though. And you have to be quick to get a table at nighttime.

Easy to miss if you’re not aware what a gem you are passing by, this wine bar has a beautiful selection of wines. The oldest and by far the best wine bar in Malta. We found this place by chance and were welcomed by Andres, we have felt like home since the first time. Since then, we also brought our family here and were welcomed by the owner Chris, who embodies the spirit of this establishment. Do try the chicken pâté! It’s the only item which hasn’t been removed from the menu since this bar was founded 24 years ago. The personnel feels like part of the soul of this quaint little place. Thank you for having us, Luca & Poppy

Inside and outside - Great vibe and Cool music. Great selection of wines and food. I had the Fiocco and the Ceviche. Friendly welcoming service. I will return.

Lovely spot tucked away in the alleys of Valletta, perfect for enjoying wine and some small bites in a lively and friendly atmosphere. They also have a good selection of digestifs for the end of the evening. Andresito was very skilled and professional. My girlfriend and I will definitely be back!

So glad we moved away from the busy streets to eat here. Help with the wine selection was fabulous! The the meat and cheese platters were both delicious. There is a cozy eclectic atmosphere and it truly feels like an old school wine bar. A must visit spot in your food travels.

Very nice atmosphere, super tasty food and amazing nice service!!! We discover it by chance and it became such romantic and atmospheric evening. Total recommendation!

Friendly service quality with wide wine menus and cheese options. Especially the cheeses were delicious. However, the outside seating was not comfortable because it was sloping, but it is still a restaurant with a nice ambiance in one of the side streets of Valletta. I recommend it for fine dining

Firstly thanks Luke 👍our tour guide he was very enthusiastic which has to be the best start your tour and to escape the the sunshine on a very hot day. Our tour was 75 minutes long great history lesson over the age's but mostly the second world war. You can only imagine all the other room's that you can see through little gaps and staircases we love exploring it's just like Gibraltar WW2 tunnels. If you get the pass you you save quite a bit so get out there and explore!!

Amazing place. Plan 1-2 hours there. No need to book in advance. Fascinating history of how these underground shelters were used as war rooms for World War 2. And incredible stories of how Malta was used as a strategic point in the war and the epicenter of diversion techniques to eventually start the end of the war. Cheap tickets, a true gem!

Absolutely fascinating museum that does a great job of telling the story of Malta during the second world war. They have done a great job of preserving the underground shelters and decorating them with a variety of period artifacts. The result is that you can get a good sense of how the place looked during the Malta blitz. However, it's well worth timing your visit to take advantage of the guided tour. We had Mike as our guide and his explanation of how the fighter control operated was very clear and comprehensive. There is also a new, very extensive display that covers with Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily in July 1943 in great detail including from the Italian side and the perspective of the civilians.

Probably one of the best WW2 museums I've ever been to. So much information to take in. Great displays and original rooms still made up with the era specific items. Well worth a visit although was a little pricy at €20 each. Would definitely recommend.

We went on the War HQ Tunnels tour operated by the same company that runs the Lascaris War Rooms. This tour was extremely informative, engaging and took us to areas not accessible via the Lascaris War Rooms museum. This included tunnels constructed by the Knights Hospitaller (Knights of Malta) but also additional and extensive sections constructed during WW2. These areas housed the Combined War Headquarters of the Allies to command their forces and resist the extensive and devastating bombing of the Maltese islands. The tour covers the Fighter Sector Operations Room used during the Battle for Malta 1940-43, along with other operation rooms and facilities. It also shows the facilities and equipment used by NATO up to 1977, during the Cold War. A unique and immersive tour which I would thoroughly recommend to anyone with an interest in the history of Malta or WW2.

This is well worth a visit. It's an interesting tour of the under ground rooms. The guides are well informed and give a good overview of the history of the various rooms.

This was a great museum to visit. It's great they have kept or brought items to make this place look as authentic as it was during WWII. This museum covers 2 floors, both in a rock underground. A lot of information to absorb. Over all worth a visit if you are in Malta and into history and WWII.

My partner and me, we were absolutely thrilled! First they gave us a nice table even dough it was all reserved. They gave us some appetizers - grilled bread with fresh paste made of beans, black olives seasoned with garlic and pepper. Delicious! Main course was stunning - rabbit, for my lady, and veal for myself. I highly recommend it! Best regards to our waiter Boki🍻🥃🤙🏻

I am from Canada and I was told about this restaurant from a co-worker who had lived in Malta. It was a great recommendation as you could tell that the quality of food was top notch.

The food is amazing and very homely. Staff are also very friendly and the ambience is lively. A little gem in the heart of Valletta

We arrived to Trabuxu Bistro on a late Wednesday evening, and they gladly accepted our group of seven people. The atmosphere and decoration inside the restaurant was beautiful. The menu was varied, coupled with an extensive wine list. If you love wine, you’ll absolutely love it here. Before the starters came in, we were served some fresh bread with a homemade butter / red pesto which was amazing. I had a bruschetta for starters, hands down the best I’ve ever had. Even simple things can be amazing when done the right way. For the main course, I had the pasta of the day, which was a rabbit ragu, which was good. All in all, the food was great and so was the wine. Our waiter was really fun and helpful. The only negative aspect of our dinner was the waiting time for the main courses, which I also accept considering that we were seven. Come here if you want good food and wine in Valletta!

As a British maltese I can truly say the food is authentic cooked in house amazing fresh pasta ! Fresh pesto and amazing nuts served with the meal. True maltese food!! 10/10

I went to this restaurant twice time to attend to a clients. The interior, food, and service were all really great, and my clients were also very satisfied 😊 Everything here is seasoned just right, especially the rabbit meat that is usually served in red wine stew, but here you can enjoy it in white wine stew, so be sure to order it. Both waiters and waitresses always provided the best service, giving me the time to translate and explain things to my clients. I will definitely visit again, thank you so much 😊

This is considered to be one of the best restaurants in Valletta, although I wouldn’t agree. The food was good but average. We started our meal with the cod fritters as a starter, couldn’t taste the fish. I had the risotto with bone marrow which was a bit bland. My partner had the rigatoni with sausage which was good but again, not amazing. As for the service, we believe that it could have been better, it felt a bit rushed but also forgotten about. As for the atmosphere, it is well decorated but small.

The food here was fantastic! Lots of options to choose from, the prawn tagliatelle was the best i’ve ever had!!! Very reasonably priced, the service was super fast and our server was lovely! 10/10 would recommend!!

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was outstanding, and the service was just as impressive. I had the beef tagliata cooked rare, and it was prepared to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

The food was excellent. We had Spaghetti Frutti di Mare, Pork upfront burger, Mediterranean seabass fillet, grilled chicken thighs, baked vegetables and roasted potatoes. The staff was nice.

Awesome food and 10/10 staff! We accidentally ordered a non-vegetarian dish instead of vegetarian, but the staff were extremely kind — they prepared a new dish for us and didn’t even charge for the first one. The location is also very nice. Highly recommended!

Prices are high for what you get - cold and completely dry burgers. Service was pretty much nonexistent and the server did not try to better the situation when we told him our burger is cold, dry and hard. Overall the worst dinner experience we had in Malta, McDonalds would be a better option.

Stopped here for lunch and a drink. We sat outside and had Greek salad and French fries. Service was friendly and the food was good. I thought it was good value for a very touristy location. Then we got gelato from across the street which was also delicious.

It is located in the centre of Valletta. When you pass its not visible but at the basement it has a beautiful space for dinner, American style. I ordered a cheeseburger. It comes with fried potatoes. It was tasty but not anything fancy. The staff extra friendly. I recommend.

Definitely worth checking it out if you are in area. Crazy how small the street is. I was there during day so I imagine it comes to life at night.

This street is amazing, in evening some play jazz music and the lights you can’t unsee, if you walk around Valletta you can’t miss the street anyway. I also got to know it has some historical importance.

Straight street video youtube TotalWalker cahnnel.

Must see. Bar afther restoran afher bar..at evening.

Beautiful street full of history and architecture.

Amazing night on the steps

If you go to Malta, you would definitely need to stroll in that street. It is also called Republic Street

A nice and clean place. Quite peaceful, with plenty of cafés, restaurants, and shops. It’s very safe, without undocumented individuals posing as doctors or engineers like in Western Europe.

Awesome pls echo spend evening . Lot of action & people enjoying life . with food & drink options this is good place to enjoy with family with cool breeze in the evening

Beautiful square full architecture and history. Lovely fountain ⛲️ in the middle.

Beautiful large square in the heart of Valletta. Great gathering spot to meet friends or just enjoy quiet time alone. St. George's Square is the heart of Valletta and is right in the centre of the city, in an area that has been recently pedestrianized. The square is surrounded by numerous buildings, old and modern. On one side of the square is the presidential palace, and on the opposite side of the square are the Main Guard and the Chancellery. We visited the first week of May and had the pleasure of visiting a large garden display filled with beautiful trees, multiple plantings and all colors of the rainbow of petunia.

Hopefully it won't be covered by scaffolding when you visit But a lovely square

Large and central square of Valletta. Surrounded by various important buildings, with modern fountain and memorial statue in one of the corners. It is nice to wander around this square and absorbing the unique Maltese atmosphere which in Valletta has a touch of very rich history. Another nice stop when visiting Valletta.

Historic Amazing A must-watch square in Valetta, next to public square. Very cheap parking is available just next to the entrance of the city, but slots are limited. There is a 30-minute train trip starting from Triq San Gwann; the address is 7 St. John Square, Valletta, Malta.

Fun fact: it is Europe's third-oldest working theatre and the oldest theatre still in operation in the Commonwealth of Nations. Even though it.s small - 623 seats - it is just superb to visit it and to listen to the guide tell its story. Go and visit it, but make sure it is in the morning, when they have a guide.

The tour is worth it and a great experience … you learn a lot with the nice and funny “Monsieur Baroque” (good actor!) … I recommend it also for children 10+ … the theatre is extraordinary rich in history as well as Malta itself is …

A nice and clean place. Quite peaceful, with plenty of cafés, restaurants, and shops. It’s very safe, without undocumented individuals posing as doctors or engineers like in Western Europe.

Teatru Manoel is one of the true gems of Malta. If you are in Malta, this is one of the places you must go. It is one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture and one of the oldest working theatres in Europe.

We took a tour with a guide and it was great. Funny, interesting and beautiful. I recommend

Beautiful place by itself, but I definitely recommend catching a show if you can. We were here for Note Bianco, and all I can say is that the Maestrissimo show knocked our socks off. It's an amazing experience to see such a performance in a theatre so beautiful and full of history.

The guide was the most sympathic guy ive ever seen in such guided tours! He explained everything very well and the theater is so stunning, I also loved the look of the theater and that not so many people were there! If you are on malta its a must visit!

The waiter was very pleasant and nice. The rabbit had stringshoe fries as a side which I didn’t know what those were but they are like little potato sticks, which I think is a wrong choice to serve with this kind of a dish, some roast potato would be a much better option as these were impossible to eat with a fork

After a busy day of tourist things walking around town it was a delightful break to stop and British inspired pub for a cold pint of Guinness and a burger to keep us going for the next few hours. Also, kudos to the music lineup, it was some pretty classic hits!

I came to eat yesterday for lunch, I found the meal really nice, the service was perfect and fast. The interior is magnificent and the terraces outside are sublime and blend into the decor of The city. Nothing to say about this restaurant.

Nice place, the food is quite good, the service is great and we have a bonus life music, best experience for Wensday night.

We had delicious grilled fish with caponata, roasted crisp potatoes and a drizzle of basil oil. The restaurant manager was very helpful and worked around my salicylate intolerance.

Great atmosphere loud music playing good drinks happy hour only downside watch for pigeons pooing 😆

Fantastic sliders available here. We shared plates of the Maltese sliders and the Beef sliders, both were great but the Maltese sliders were just perfect

Fantastic little find in the heart of Valletta’s old town. Off the main drag and away from the throng of the maddening crowd, but still easily reachable. Amazing vegan food, incredibly nourishing and tasty (we had the Salad Bowl with Falafel and the Burger - both excellent) along with a couple of the smoothies - all tasted superb and were freshly made to order, with love and care. The “hosts” (I don’t think they have “owners” were both courteous, friendly, and generous. I’m not even vegan - but couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

Excellent dive-bar! For long evening with food and drinks or quick stop after late arrival to Valleta (our case). They make you feel really welcome in the rown😉

Wonderful vegan food and great vibes. The owner was soooo funny and authentic. If you are looking for the perfect place for a late evening hang out, snack or beer with friends owned by real, non-corporate people, dont look further.

The place is so cosy. The staff is so friendly you feel home. The underground style decoration is just amazing. The ftira cost only 6 euros and is so tasty. The drinks are also well made. We highly recommend. Even if you go there alone, you are not gonna feel alone and you are gonna be busy discovering the little beautiful details of the place.

I had the most delicious vegan sandwich in this cute cafe with eclectic decor and retro 80s music. This is what holidays are all about :) the lemon coconut smoothie is also very unique and yummy! This is a fully veggie establishment.

My hotel was quite close to Gugar BAR and every time I walked past it was always busy, usually with the same faces sat outside. So I’m assuming it’s a favourite bar amongst locals as well as visitors - which is always a good sign. The bar itself is colourful, comfortable, and super cosy. I loved the eclectic style and various paraphernalia dotted around. The staff were very welcoming, but not intrusive. Food is freshly made and was absolutely delicious, as was my Aperol Spritz. Highly recommended.

Visited Gugar for lunch as we were docked in Valletta on our cruise...What a fabulous quirky place, loved it. Ordered a vegan burger and falafel wrap with two juices. Food was delicious as were the juices. Would definitely revisit when next in Malta.

Nice addition to the craft beer scene in Valletta. Small pub, good service and some food available as well. A good Danish IPA on draft, but at €8 for a 0.4 liter glass also at Danish prices.

Fabulous place that draws an eclectic crowd of fascinating and friendly people. Besides having a good assortment of local brews, they may have the best selection of Belgian beers in Valletta.

An excellent quality and price ratio. The pizza was incredible, gluten free, healthy but very tasty. The music was very good and the band was a surprise. I had not seen a variety of craft beers like this place throughout the island.

Amazing Belgian beer bar. Lots of options, got our fix of Duvel and La Chouffe 🍻

It was hard to find its location. Look for the house numbers, it is at 152 Old Bakery St. (Hint: it is almost across the street from 67 Kapitali)

This bar was a fantastic find on our visit to Malta. We stayed in Valletta and found a fair few lovely places, but this is the only place we visited twice during our stay. A small, unassuming pub from the outside opens up to reveal an atmospheric, music-filled, craft beer treasure trove with friendly staff. Everyone inside was having a great time, the beer selection was top notch and the live music was extremely welcome.

Great location, close to the sea. Nice selection of craft beers, although I was generally confused, that the bar staff seemed to not be informed about their beers and needed me to choose the bottle myself and tell them the price. The food was tasty and the live music was awesome. The style of everything in the place is very well chosen to fit the oldies atmosphere. All in all we enjoyed the evening there a lot!

It might be a busy place in evening, but unfortunately it failed to deliver to us. Veggie burger came with cold patty which we returned & Pizza was like over crunchy fried bread which was hard & which frankly peeled off the roof of our mouth. Servitor seemed fine & so is manager when we asked her to take burger off the bill. Being first meal in Malta, I was quite disappointed here.

We decided to stop & grab a bite to eat. We had the cheese platter - it was delicious. Sit outside enjoy a glass of wine & relax. So nice!

Overall, a good place with a convenient location and good quality food. The service was a bit slow, and the staff were a little too pushy in asking us to leave reviews with photos of specific dishes.

We ordered a pasta dish and received a kind of mushroom sauce soup. The pasta was very small and covered in a cheesy cream that wasn't very good. It's a very expensive, small dish, and it's not good. Not to mention the service; it took a long time, and they forgot to give us silverware. I don't think it's a good place to eat.

Good quality food, reasonable prices for so central place and great cocktails. Overall satisfying experience

Wonderful outdoor dining in the heart of Valletta. Wide range of dishes to choose from. Sharma's customer service was outstanding. On each occasion we dined at the restaurant he made sure we had a great experience. Many thanks!

Maybe the food is good, but unfortunately, the kindness and basic courtesy are lacking. I had planned to dine here and tried to use the toilet before being seated. The waiter told me the restroom was for customers only and suggested I try another restaurant — without even asking if I intended to eat there (which I did). After that unwelcoming response, I chose to leave. A little respect goes a long way.

Nice area. Really good for a chill night out with friends. It can get quite busy but the staff is nice. You got some live music which is nice but if u next to them it's a bit loud and hard to talk. Great place for a chill night in Valletta

Went there to listen the band and it did not disappoint, great selection of beer along with friendly fast service. Music is on Friday and Saturday nights. Pretty cool......I’ll be back.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, great music, amazing food and loads of beer! People who suffer from claustrophobia should be warned that it is a cave underground :)

I played at The Beer Cave with my new band (Chakana) this year 2020 it's a lovely 👍

Great beer selection! They also have great food! Nice location in Valletta Malta, i would say a must!

A special place for any beer lover visiting Malta. It has a really wide range of beer bottles to choose, from all around the world. Possibility to stay inside or on the few tables outside.

Great selection of drinks, cool vibe, friendly service (especially Estelle) and perfect location. The mango Dipa was our favourite.

Awesome place, tasty food, nice drinks! We stopped by to watch f1 and they played it, as well as meny football matches. Really flexible and kind staff:)

A brilliant place to eat and drink in the heart of Valletta. The food is cooked to perfection. Wait staff were polite and keep a relaxed atmosphere. We loved it here! The choice in Valletta is a little overwhelming so definitely go here if you like a bit of soul food!

We came here three days in a row it was so good. The cocktails are amazing and the happy hour deal from 2-7 is just unheard of. lovely service every time we came with the friendliest servers. Truly do recommend 💕

Our waitres- Sandra was the best of them all, she promised us a table outside on the day of championa league and she Provided! We got i believe the best places as we could get. The food was pretty nice drinks really good and overall the spot is perfect for late night drinks and seriously this girl should have a rise for her job she Made the atmosphere in this place so welcome and home like. Also the rest of Staff was really help full and Made us feel really good there. And about the place: -good food and reasonable portions -tasty drinks and fresh beer - great location -prices are on a higher side but worth it looking at all above ;) Overall we really enjoyed it and if we ever visit Valletta again probably will come here again

Everything was DELICIOUS. We ordered the “tortillas with guacamole and melted cheddar cheese” and “wings wings wings”. We didn’t have to wait too long and the waitress was really nice and kind! Hi Sandra!!

We visited during happy hour, it was 2-4-1 on a range of cocktails, Picture of the Mojitos included, (The frozen daiquiris were great on a hot day!) We only ordered portions of fries to tide us over, so cannot comment on the rest of the food, Would visit again!

Ended up here by accident due to a rainstorm. Met some great people having fantastic food n cocktails. A mix up and we jumped a cab without paying. Rang immediately and they were so nice about it we went back a few days later to settle up. Love this place thank you.

Small second hand shop with a nice selection of very reasonably priced clothes. The proceeds go to charity. Will return.

Great costumer experience. All clothes are washed and in good state. Very nice sale person. Great thrift experience

Very nice

Treasures and the women who helped me are closer to angels.

Excellent shop!

(Translated by Google) Very unfriendly, not even a good day, very small shop, not worth it! (Original) Zeer onvriendelijk, er kan geen eens een goededag van af, zeer kleine winkel, niet de moeite waard!

(Translated by Google) Visited as a curiosity. (Original) Odwiedzone jako ciekawostka.

A very interesting and informative movie about history of Malta. Afterwards we visited the main grand hall which used to be used as hospital. Such an amazing place.

As the advertising states, this is really a great introduction to Malta and it's rich and very interesting history. The presentation is shown on a big cinema screen with support for all languages via the private headphones that you find in each seat. The video lasts 30+ minutes but the time doesn't drag. We were truly fascinated by the history and everything that helped shape Malta to the Island that we Knie today. The Experience itself is located on the side of the old walled fortress of the capital of Malta - Valetta. You can buy tickets in advance online or from the small tickets booth at the venue itself. The film offers hourly showings all week and you access the cinema and the small shop down some old stairs into the halls cut into the rock below. When you buy the tickets, you can also add the extra "Tour der Sacra Infermeria" for a few Euros. This gives you a very interesting view of the rooms behind and below the Malta Experience and includes a guided Tour with an unbelievable history including the huge Hospital wards operated first by the Knights of St.John and then led the way in patient treatment under Napoleon and then the Britisch until 1920. The "Tour der Sacra Infermeria" is definitely worth the extra expense as it also shows you the new conference rooms and theatre which have played host to many political events on the European and International Stage.

A must for all visitors to the Maltese Islands. Audio visual presentation that depicts the history of Malta from Prehistory to modern times. Gives you an understanding of the maltese people.and what has shaped this small but great nation. the location of the malta experience is best described as STUNNING. The building itself sets the mood for the audio visual. I'll go again when I am in Malta

Would have given the tour of the Sacra Infermeria, the Knights of Malta's hospital, five stars if it wasn't for the operations a poorly coordinated tour company. Having visited before - around 6 years ago - when I came back to Malta with a family member this year, I had earmarked this as a must see, given the history, significance and sheer spectacle of the building and its interior. We didn't bother with the Malta Experience video part of the tour, as this is only of interest if you have little to no knowledge of the island or its history. Last time I was on this tour, it was engaging and allowed us time within a small group to see the building in great detail and explore a large portion of it. This time around was a quite different experience. We had a tour booked with another agency at 1pm at the War HQ Tunnels (highly recommended, by the way) and was reliably informed at the booking office that the tour of the Sacra Infermeria would be half an hour, so beginning at 11:40am would certainly give us plenty of time to do the tour and make our way over to our next tour at 1pm. We are always careful to plan our itinerary to ensure we can realistically see as much as we can in one day when on holiday. We were asked to be there five minutes before the tour starts, so we arrived promptly at 11:35 and waited until 11:45, when we were ushered up to the internal gate of the Infirmary. There we stood for a further 10 minutes before finally the tour got underway at nearly 12pm. This was partly because the tour group was excessively large - easily numbering 70 to 80 people - and required far too much effort to chaperone by one tour guide alone but also because several people arrived very late. We finally started the tour but was again held up by another group of people that had arrived late - by this point, more than half an hour after the tour was scheduled to start. As far as I'm concerned, if you arrive more than 15 minutes late for a scheduled tour, you should be instructed to join a later party if space permits, not hold up an entire group. The oversized group on the tour meant that it took too long to move the group between stations as people kept wandering off. This left precious little time to cover in any detail some of the key aspects/feature of the building or its illustrious founders, as we waited for everyone to catch up. This also meant that, due to the delays, we had to actually leave the tour before the end in order to make it in time to our next tour - even though we should have had plenty of time to fully cover both. What I was also disappointed with was that, as they were preparing for a conference at the time, (as it is an active conference centre) the main halls in the Infirmary were full of rigging and equipment, which meant it resembled more of a construction site and also meant we couldn't get as much access and freedom of movement as I experienced on my previous tour. The tour guide herself was good but overall - especially if you have a schedule to stick to, which could be completely thrown off - this was a very disorganised tour and left me feeling very disappointed. It just didn't do the building or its history justice. If you have a limited amount of time in Malta, I would give this a miss, as there are other, better coordinated and more engaging museums and tours available.

The Convention centre is very intelligently built in this historic hospital building with one of the biggest halls from this area. Great flair

There is a very interesting and informative film shown for 45 minutes. You have headsets which allow you to choose between about 20 languages. This is followed by an excellent tour of the hospital building. The lady that gives the tour is fantastic. She is interesting and amusing. It is a fascinating story. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend.

This was a pleasant surprise. The documentary is good and explains the history of Malta in a generic way. What we liked the most was the little tour after it. You're not going to visit an incredible scenery and certainly there are more beautiful buildings in Malta, but the tour guide makes it absolutely worth it. She knows how to tell a story, how to put it in perspective, how to add her own opinion without interfering with facts. We recommend it.

Quite a nice place with local Maltese cuisine. Just a heads-up — it’s a full tasting menu with five to seven courses, so make sure you arrive really hungry! 😅 I wouldn’t say Maltese cuisine is my personal favourite, but it’s definitely worth trying for the experience — authentic flavours, generous portions, and a cozy local vibe. 🇲🇹🍷

Dinner at Legligin, Valletta – A True Maltese Experience I finally visited Legligin Restaurant in Valletta, and it lived up to everything I’d heard — authentic, intimate, and full of character. The evening started with a warm welcome and a short story about the name Legligin — it comes from the Maltese word for the sound of wine being poured, “glug-glug.” That alone set the tone. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a place built around conversation, family, and good wine. I chose the tasting menu, which is the only option here — no à la carte, just trust the kitchen. Every dish felt honest and homemade. The fish soup was light but deeply flavored, full of fresh local fish, carrots, and herbs. You could tell the broth had been simmering slowly for hours. Then came the pasta, perfectly cooked, coated in a creamy tomato-based sauce with herbs and a touch of spice. Simple, comforting, and delicious — the kind of dish that doesn’t try too hard because it doesn’t need to. The beef stew was my favorite — tender chunks of meat with mushrooms and garlic in a creamy sauce. It reminded me of something you’d get in a home kitchen on a Sunday, rich and soulful. For dessert, a chocolate cake soaked in cream, topped with candied fruit and coconut. Sweet, dense, and satisfying, it felt like a festive Maltese twist on a classic pudding. Everything paired beautifully with a local wine, Marsovin Antonin 2023, smooth and balanced, with a depth that worked perfectly with the food. The space itself feels like a time capsule — old stone walls, soft lighting, and just a few tables. It’s small, personal, and cozy, as if you’re dining in someone’s home. You can feel the family touch: the owner, Chris Mifsud Bonnici, still works closely with his wife and son. That warmth translates into everything — the food, the service, the atmosphere. Legligin isn’t flashy or modern, and that’s exactly why it’s special. It’s a reminder that great dining doesn’t need to be complicated — just real people, real food, and a love for what they do. If you’re in Malta, book ahead. Come hungry. And don’t ask for the menu — just let them cook for you.

Such an memorable experience. It was my last day so there was no better way to end my stay on this beautiful island than in Legligin. Ambiance, pottery, plates, employees everything just was amazing. The food was so fresh and tasty, carefully selected Maltese dishes interwoven with Mediterranean cuisine. And I really like the meaning of word "legligin". Everything was so unique!

Fell in love with this place from the moment we entered. Greeted like old friends, warm but professional. Amazing atmosphere low level music sets the mood while not being to loud. The food took us on a journey of taste like no other, if your in Malta and don’t visit this place can you actually say you’ve been to Malta 😁

This restaurant was definitely a highlight of our trip to Malta. It was fantastic from start to finish. Food was amazing. Service was excellent. Highly recommend you must book.

Had an incredible time here, the food was delicious and plentiful. We were especially impressed by the sommelier. It's a great spot for authentic Maltese food at reasonable prices.

We stumbled upon this bustling restaurant around 10:30 PM and were warmly greeted by Granada. It turned out to be one of my favorite dining experiences in Europe. The fusion of Maltese and Mediterranean cuisine was exceptional, with generous portions and outstanding service. A special thank you to Granada for going above and beyond to accommodate us with a table – your hospitality truly made the evening memorable.

We had a fantastic experience at Luciano Restaurant in Valletta! The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that left us more than satisfied. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home throughout our meal. The restaurant is set in one of the busiest and most vibrant areas of the city, which gave it a lively atmosphere and made it perfect for people-watching while enjoying dinner. It’s a wonderful spot to enjoy authentic Maltese hospitality combined with great food. Highly recommended if you’re in Valletta!

Stopped here for lunch with me Missus. First off sit inside. The outdoor seating is super busy, very touristy, and everyone smokes/vapes. Indoors are more locals and no cigarette smoke. Had a pint of icey cold Cisk, local Maltese Lager. Excellent. We'd been told the Pizza was good and it was. Not expensive, great setting, Great staff, an all rounder.

Small cafe with a great location, but uninspiring food choices and service can be improved. Served alcoholic drink to my pregnant wife (Tequila Sunrise instead of non-alcoholic Sunset), and had doubt about it when reclaiming. Pizza thick, tasteless crust.

We ate at this location on two separate occasions, the first time everything was good but the second was a different story My meal was good but my wife ordered the mussels Normally it is expected that one or two are empty of meat, but by the end of the meal it turned out that five or six were completely empty The manageress came to the table, listened to what the issue was and then asked why we had waited until the meal was finished to raise the issue - as if my wife was lying We explained that we expect a few empty ones but not the amount we had found, and of course we didn't realise until the end We also showed the manageress the mussels that were empty (you can tell because when a mussels has the meat, there is usually some connective tissue left behind but the empty ones did not have this, hence our assertion) The attitude of the manageress was one of the worst I have encountered. She was sarcastic, invited us to have an argument and basically showed she couldn't care less and would not even apologise Eat at this establishment but please make sure you heck your food thoroughly before you eat it, and if anything is not as it should be make sure you raise the issue before you eat anything I should also mention that the rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful, just beware of the blonde manageress

We had lunch at this restaurant whilst waiting for our room to be prepared in another hotel. We chose to dine inside with views across the harbour and the opportunity to see the chef work. The ravioli ricotta and spaghetti bolognaise were super tasty and the service was friendly and efficient. A lovely lunch spot ❤️

We stopped here for a pizza — it was quite tasty. Unfortunately, there’s a major downside: you have to cut it yourself with very dull knives. The dough was rather firm, so while cutting, the pizza tended to slide off the plate. The location is interesting — right in the heart of the capital. Surprisingly, cars occasionally drive along what seems to be a busy pedestrian street. We were literally sitting about 20 cm away from passing vehicles, which was quite unusual and a bit uncomfortable. The staff seemed somewhat inexperienced, as if they were just starting out — a bit of confusion and lack of coordination. Overall, despite the pizza being tasty, it’s hard for us to recommend this place.

the pizza itself was reeeally good, i had the pizza vegetariana and i think putting peas on a pizza is a wild thing to do (not in a bad way but just wild) but the waitress called us her queens (she is a queen herself) so we couldnt be happier :))

What a great place! Feels a bit hidden being at the top of the strip of restaurants but it’s so worth it, some of the best food we had in Malta! Really generous sharing plates and the quality of the food was top notch!

The food was phenomenal with the best Asian fusion We went twice we loved it so much and also tasted the Vietnamese street food specials. Ashim & his staff were all very attentive and couldn’t do enough for you. Would highly recommend this gem of a place when you are staying or visiting Sliema ❤️ Gordon & Marion (Scottish couple & thanks for the free Baileys)

Good quality food with the best Asian fusion (and good cocktails too). We went twice and tasted the Vietnamese street food specials. Thanks for the top service with the staff Rajeev, Sony, Monu and the chef Amid

So good we ate here two nights in a row. The staff are so friendly especially Rochelle and the food is amazing. Def deserve ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hammett’s Gastro Bar was a lovely place to have a drink and bite. The cocktail menu was full of options and the bites to share were delicious. Our waiter Ashim was friendly and helpful. Our only feedback point is that when sitting at the tables with the sofa, the chair opposite is very low. Other than that very great and a recommended place to visit!

Superb meal - never tasted cauliflower like it and the ribs were to die for. Wish it was nearer to home but will definitely come again before we go back home to the UK x

delicious food, large selection of appetizers, good location and friendly service,

It was my second time visiting the fountain it’s beautiful and definitely worth stopping by to admire this amazing piece of art. Highly recommend going very, very early to avoid the crowds, take a memorable photo, and enjoy the place more peacefully. the staff supervising the area is ABSURDLY rude. We witnessed them yelling at and insulting tourists. While the job might require a certain level of authority, that doesn’t justify the way they treat visitors. If you work in such a high-stress environment, patience should be part of the job.

A stunning monument that really takes you by surprise when you approach it by foot like I did. The craftsmanship of the figures and the surrounds is quality and the water flowing on a very hot day makes you feel cooler somehow. This is a main meeting point for a lot of people as it’s at the entrance to the city and makes great photos.

Valletta is a city walk that feels like time travel—absolutely worth it. Legend says the Knights once stood their ground here, defending the island against the Ottoman siege. Beneath your feet lie hidden tunnels, only partly unearthed, whispering secrets from centuries past. On rooftops, bull horns hang—a forgotten charm against evil, still watching silently over the streets. Stroll along the city walls and the Mediterranean stretches out before you—vast, blue, eternal. Inside St. John’s Co-Cathedral, gold glimmers in every corner, as if the light itself were centuries old. The Grandmaster’s Palace holds an armory of over 5,000 weapons—silent witnesses to battles long faded. This ancient city blends Renaissance elegance with Baroque grandeur, like a living museum. Every corner holds a tale. Even the air seems laced with the spirit of the Knights.

Very beautiful monument. Rarely has a fountain fascinated me so much. The positioning and postures of the three statues form a magnificent composition. A beautiful piece to mark the entrance to such a beautiful city.

The Tritons’ Fountain is a monumental landmark located just outside Valletta's City Gate. Designed by sculptor Vincent Apap and completed in 1959, the fountain features three bronze tritons—sea gods from Greek mythology—balancing a massive basin on their shoulders. This powerful work of art symbolizes Malta's deep connection to the sea and its maritime history. After years of disrepair, the fountain underwent an extensive and meticulous restoration, returning it to its former glory just in time for Valletta’s designation as the European Capital of Culture in 2018. It is now a stunning, iconic meeting point and a perfect photo opportunity for visitors entering the capital.

Impressive Fontaine ⛲️ Quite big and beautiful 🤩 Located just in the entrance to the old city 🌆 👍

This is a great landmark for a meeting point, and a photo opportunity. There are several food vendors located near the fountain - a great spot to grab a gelato, snack or cold drink and rest up for a bit.

I’m a craft beer guy and my wife is a cider connoisseur, so when we find a place that hit both area’s it paints a picture and a great time. Every staff member were very attentive and knowledgeable about the craft beer and ciders. Good seating with AC inside and they have an option of beers to go. If you’re in Malta 🇲🇹 go and have a great time like I did!

Tucked away on a quiet corner of Old Bakery Street, 67 Kapitali is the kind of place you discover once and then keep coming back to. It’s not just a bar—it’s a cozy little sanctuary for anyone who appreciates local craft beer, thoughtfully prepared platters, and a chilled, welcoming vibe. Watch out for the staircase to the loos tho, definitely done sober !!

An excellent lunch and looked after by lovely friendly and attentive staff. 11 beers on tap and excellent range and choice of drinks. Food was delicious and good choices.

Great place! Just some meters from the main touristic routes, you’ll find great local craft-beers and great, very polite and helpfull staff. I recommend the cheese and ham plates!

We loved this bar! Whilst we didn't eat, the staff were so friendly and the vibe was just so relaxing, which is a tricky ask in Valletta. Would highly recommmend

Great selection of international and local craft beers. They do sell the cans to go! Also have 11 beers from local breweries on tap. Service could be improved— They could check in on you more to see if you want another beer. But they were helpful in their recommendations. Have a patio out on a shaded street, moderately quiet re: pedestrians but medium busy with cars.

We first stopped by here on our way to our AirBnb but had such a good time we came back for dinner later. The platter was fantastic, the staff are super nice and of course, the beers are absolutely top notch! 10/10 would recommend!

My favourite meal when in Valletta! I had the rabbit stew, to try the local cuisine, and I was very happy with my choice! The dish itself could have been hotter, but the spices you could taste was excellent! Delicious dessert too! Overall, definitely come here to try Maltese dishes. It has a very French feel, but is a lovely place. No outdoor seating though!

Fantastic food and great service! We had the Mediterranean chicken pasta, the rabbit with potatoes, and finished with the date pastry and ice cream – everything was absolutely delicious. The service was spot on, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

had pleasure to visit this restaurant during our The Valletta Street Food and Culture Walking Tour with our phenomenal guide Maria-Isabella. Tried some traditional food before we tasted the best Rabbit stew a-la Malta. Authentic ambience loaded with local artistic history

The yogurt bowl is tasty. The English breakfast is just ok for this price. (I asked them to take away the meat.) The sour bread is a little bit disappointing, but it’s a cute place with a lot of locals hanging out here. Great atmosphere.

Fabulous place. Looks like old timey cafe. Food is amazing. I had widow’s soup (photo attached) which was awesome as was the duck stew (which I failed to picture because I quickly devoured it). Great spot in heart of Valletta old town.

Great little neighbourhood bar, café, resto. Came here for breakfast as near my hotel. Frequented lots by locals coming for coffee and bites. The English Breakfast was good.

A very beautiful and laid back place to grab some coffee. They have some food options as well. I had the pulled pork sandwich with cheese and it was good especially the toasted bread. For dessert i had the walnut tart that came with some hazelnut ice cream. It was very tasty. The place is very clean and you can tell the interior was designed and made with love. It is also sittuated in the heart of Valletta so if you visit Valletta definitely go here.

Beautiful panoramic point inside the Valletta di Malta. This bell commemorates all the people who died in an attempt to defend Malta's freedom during World War II. It plays every day at 12, starting in 1992. On one side of the memorial stands out an inscription in Latin: "Obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli" ("You protected me in wartime").

The Siege Bell War Memorial features a recumbent bronze figure opposite Fort Ricasoli at the entrance to Grand Harbour in Valletta, Malta. A plaque here reads: "At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them."

Wonderful view of the coastline. Not much to do but you get a more close up view of the coastline than viewing from the gardens. It’s also just a short walk from the lower barrakka.

You can see great views of the Grand Harbor from this point. There will be lots of steep downhill side streets that you’ll need to take if coming from the center of Valletta, but well worth the walk. When you arrive, climb the steps to the top of the memorial and stand south of the bell to see the best views the place has to offer. You’ll also be able to get a good view of outside of the Valletta peninsula as well.

Another Great viewing location War Seige Memorial the history of the place is fantastic great location for walking round, there is a small outdoor cafe. the place is so relaxing its ideal to chill out under the trees enjoying coffee or tea. You can watch pigeons taking bird bath or drop few crumbs watch them snap them up. Good location great views well worth visit.

It’s well worth climbing the flight of steps to walk round this monument, if only for the views over the harbour. It was very windy during my visit and that’s when you realise how exposed it is but taking in the history is a real treat.

Nice place with a great view to the sea and the area around. A little bit windy but worth visiting because of the great scenery it offers for the visitors. There are good restaurants nearby and a little bit away from the bell monument there is nice garden with a lot of benches for relaxing and enjoying the great view.

The food is amazing and it tells a story of Valletta. It is flavourful and interesting. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They take pride in the fact that everything is made fresh. At the end of the meal we were given some delicious passion fruit jelly, and when the waiter knew I love it (as I asked if they sell them as well), he brought us another two pieces. Small gestures but very memorable

What a stunning venue for a meal the staff were very attentive without being intrusive. Firstly I have to admit I was vying for a two course meal but the tuna was for a minimum of two people. I was therefore persuaded to have the tasting menu as that included the tuna (for one). A expresó martini to whet the appetite was splendid.

Superb food, attentive staff and atmosphere was second to none. We were looking out over the harbour with delightful surroundings. Starters were excellent choice. We had ravioli and the tomatoes. Beef was cooked perfectly. Puddings were just right.

Where am I gonna start is the question. What is there not to like with Ambience when having the grand harbour as your background. The food, is a feast of flavours and culture with the food cards matched to popular Malta streets and landmarks. The service is nothing less than exceptional. Very attentive and professional staff. My gf and I had one of the best experiences ever. Ps - do not leave without trying the dessert. You'll thank me later

I dined alone, on a solo holiday, at this lovely little place. They set me up at the window with a view, as requested, because it was too windy outside. It was one of the best dining experiences I have had. I was there for 2.5 hours, having the 7 course tasting menu, paied with wines for each course. Stellar! Each course came with a little description card as they were named after a street in Valletta. The card gave a little history of the street the food was named after. I was so excited for the risotto, I forgot to take a picture! Maria snuck my camera into the kitchen and took a picture of one the chef was preparing! Sorry Chef, for invading your creative space! I highly recommend this restaurant. It has a great atmosphere, great food and very friendly and helpful staff. Bravo Harbour Club! And thank you.

The experience was very fun! It is not only about eating but also experiencing different flavours, they give you some free entries. The dessert was wonderful. The only thing, I expected more history in between the dishes, as it was mentioned each one represented a part of history of Malta. But I would come back again.

Beautiful location, thoughtful menu praising the history of Malta (also delicious, btw). The whole concept is great! Definitely worth trying!

Very creative menu. Try all of the snacks / starters. Very cozy comfortable location. You can see and taste the influence of the Michelin star kitchen that also belongs to the same hotel.

Amazing breakfast venue with even more amazing staff. With a fantastic view down to the sea, thus is a great venue. The set breakfasts were just beyond compare and the staff so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back! Special call out to the team lead Katho for whom nothing was too much trouble.

Tucked away on a quiet side street for pedestrians near the Rosselli Hotel, Grain street sits adjacent to its sister restaurant with a Michelin star called Under Grain and they share the same kitchen. The two spacious outdoor dining areas — perfect for warm days with chilled background music. The terrace is stylish and inviting, setting a refined yet relaxed tone. Inside, there’s a small bar and a couple of tables near the entrance, giving an intimate first impression. The meal started well with excellent bread, tuna tapenade, good-quality olive oil, and marinated olives. The starter of pig’s ears — thinly sliced, lightly battered, and slightly sweet with a touch of sauce — was an interesting and well-executed dish, great for sharing. For mains, I tried the local fresh fish (sea bass) with Bronte pistachio, pink grapefruit, and basil. The flavours were pleasant, and the nut crust added nice texture, but the portion was disappointingly small and felt poor value for money. The Lasagne ‘Nera’ — a seafood lasagna made with squid ink, calamari, and a hint of nduja — was very good, rich in flavour and beautifully balanced (€19/€22). I also sampled the local Hauteville Cabernet–Shiraz blend. It was fine, but again, the pour was on the small side for the price. Service, while polite, was glacially slow — a true example of the “slow food” experience, though perhaps unintentionally

It was the best food experience during our 6 nights staying in Malta. The food was delicious, especially local tomato salad with burratina and passion fruit tart, service on the highest level, atmosphere- chic and elegant. Worth to recommend and come back!

We spent almost two weeks at Hotel St. John and had the pleasure of enjoying the breakfast. Every day was a delight. A heartfelt thank you for the excellent service and outstanding care. A huge thank you goes to the breakfast manager Katho, who, together with her wonderful team, turned every morning into an experience with great oversight and professionalism. Each morning was a wonderful start to a new vacation day. Warm greetings from Germany.

The food is good but not amazing and, surprisingly, the service and atmosphere was a little disappointing. Firstly, and most importantly perhaps, I enjoyed most of the food. All courses bar the main course were enjoyable. The main course of chateaubriand was not cooked to my liking and the chewy nature of the meat spoilt my enjoyment (I don't know whether it was cooked correctly as we were not asked nor told how it would be done). I was disheartened to see the chef lean on gold and silver-leaf for some dishes as it adds absolutely nothing. The food should speak for itself. The main issue with Under Grain was unfortunately with the style of service. It was all too stuffy and rigid. My previous visits to Michelin starred establishments have always been improved by the exemplary yet relaxed service. The whole staff seemed slightly on edge as our fellow diners appeared to include 'influencers' and a reviewer of some description. Maybe because of this the focus was elsewhere, but there must've been an issue with our main course as we waited basically an hour between starter and main course. This is far too long to wait, yet it was not mentioned at all by the staff. After this, the evening soured and later courses were not enjoyed as much as a result. We declined the cheese course option as it was now getting late. The waiter seemed offended by this and the staff barely spoke to us after that. I was also disappointed by the wine flight. I know enough about wine to hold my own, yet I was recited a bland script about each wine that added nothing to my knowledge. The miniscule pourings meant I didn't get to enjoy the wine with the food as I had either finished my wine during the wait between courses, or, on rare occasions the food came out quickly, only had two small sips to pair with the food. Overall, the whole evening goes on too long. Most reviews said the evening lasts around three hours. We were there for four hours and skipped the cheese course. This over-long service was needless and reduced the enjoyment rather than enhanced. We sat at 1900 and the main course was served at 2200. Lastly, I have never been welcomed back from the toilets in my life, yet that seems to be a policy here. Very odd, very uncomfortable. Discretion would be the better customer service option in this instance.

We had a lovely dinner at Grain Street! It still felt like a "fancy" dinner even though this was Under The Grain's less expensive sister restaurant. Service and food were all phenominal! Highly reccomend!

From the outside it's dome looks incredibly majestic, however on the inside it's not that impressive, there are more beautiful churches in the area. Good thing the entrance is free.

Beautiful bazilika which is exactly as it should be - beautiful, peaceful and modest, not full of wealth which should be used for good causes. Opens only after 5pm (service time). So when you visit you see also how is service done in Malta. Was shocked to find out that the church cupola is actually oval, not round as it appears from outside.

This is a beautiful place, down a Valletta side street. It is free to enter and is very peaceful inside and much quieter than the Cathedral. It has an amazing domed ceiling, beautiful architecture, and wonderful marble floors. Please visit here.

An impressive basilica crowned with a massive oval dome, visible from as far as Mdina and unmistakable from the ferry between Sliema and Valletta. This beautifully spacious Roman Catholic church features richly colored marble floors and walls. One of Malta’s significant modern churches, it was built between 1958 and 1981. Its dome, alongside the tower of St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral, stands as one of the most iconic landmarks in Valletta’s skyline.

very calm Catholic church, but check the opening hours before you go

Lovely place to visit €2 entry

One of the more underrated churches in Valetta. It is lesser known than the other ones but still a sight to behold. The clear white dome is a huge contrast to the fresco ceiling of other churches nearby. I was able to catch part of a mass service here on a weekend and there was a choir. The acoustics in this place are quite good for the size of the structure. Overall worth it to at least take a peak inside or sit for an entire Sunday mass, if that's your thing. Good historical landmark!

Beautiful place for dinner. The seats are distributed above the stairs, romantic fairy lights give the place a magical glow. You should have a table reservation or wait until a table is assigned. The waiting time is rewarded with an excellent meal. The pizza was outstanding, the lasagna highly recommended. We'd love to come back!

We had a lovely experience at San Paolo Naufrago in Valletta. The service was superb – friendly, attentive, and efficient – and the atmosphere was wonderful, with charming surroundings that make it a perfect spot to soak up the city’s vibe. It’s definitely worth booking in advance though; the queues were very long for walk-ins and quite a number of people were turned away , and we could see why! The only downside for us was the limited menu during our visit – pizza and lasagna were the only main courses available – but both were delicious and freshly made. A great place for a relaxed meal in the heart of Valletta. There is a minimum spend of €25 per person, which wasn’t an issue for us because we had starters, desserts and drinks as well. However, if you’re on a budget, you need to be aware of this.

Really good food. Uncomplicated, pizza was not my personal favorite, but the pasta was amazing. Fresh ingredients, nice crew, fully feel always recognized and comfortable. Atmosphere in the small street with music really a spot to visit. Thanks for the hospitality!

Great atmosphere, beautiful place, good food. Delicious bruschetta, good lasagna, but for my taste, it could be a bit more intense and spicy. The pizza with burrata, mortadella, and pistachios was fantastic. A storm broke out during our meal, so the staff quickly gathered our belongings and moved us to the free balcony upstairs. Highly recommended. A mandatory 25€ per person minimum spend

One of the nicest, of the Italian street restaurants in Valletta. It's set at the top of the street running down to the waterfront in Valletta and actually is on both sides of the street. Small tables are arranged down the street's steps. It's a little precarious sitting on the metal seats on the narrow steps, but that's all part of the experience. They do have inside tables, but on a nice day, sitting outside is the place to be. Service is quick, friendly and professional. The wine list is excellent as are the beers and cocktails available. All of which is reasonably priced. Our pizzas were delicious. Great toppings and cooked to perfection. Homemade deserts looked fantastic, but we were too full to contemplate one! We went at lunchtime and we're lucky enough to get a table - you can guarantee they will be busy. If your in Valletta do try this lovely place. You won't be disappointed.

Lively spot with good vibes! The ambience is very enjoyable and the service was on point. Pizza was good, though not exceptional. Cocktails were fun to try. Overall, a great place to relax with a nice atmosphere.

We visited San Paolo Naufrago for the first time and absolutely loved it! This charming little restaurant is located on the famous St. Lucia Street, a narrow alley full of flowers and little lights that create a truly magical atmosphere. The pizza tasted just like in Italy, you can really tell the ingredients are fresh and high quality. The service was quick, and the staff were very kind and friendly..one of the waiters even spoke a few words in Polish, which was such a nice surprise! Definitely a place worth visiting again! 🇮🇹✨🍕🌸

Really disappointing on every level unfortunately. Lackluster and not an authentic British experience. The chips are skinny cheap fries. Not chips. No decent beers on tap. Would have been nice to have a darker beer available on tap. Cisk and Carlsberg only. Heavy battered fish so I asked for light batter and got the saddest old fish that ever swam in a fish farm.

We had the fish and chips and Beef pie.I got 2 pieces of fish due to the portions being so small I am guessing, now to the actual dish itself...... there was more batter on each portion of the fish so hardly any fish! Very disappointing! The Pie was not any better with a serious lack of meat.( my partner told me) I made the waiter aware of this upon paying and he told me he would let the kitchen know, to be honest you guys need to do better in an area where there is so much choice.

A must visit place if you want to experience true British vibes. Beautiful dark interior with the option to sit at the bar. Great selection of classic beers. Prices are reasonable. The music is also great and really adds to the atmosphere

We went in the afternoon for some pints of CISK beer. Quite quiet at the time. We enjoy it.

Wonderful atmosphere, good pub food, and very customer minded servers. Absolutely worth visiting in Valletta.

Really nice pub in Valleta. It is roomy and well presented, spacious & well maintained. It's the kind of place you can just sit back & relax in and while away a few hours drinking Stella & putting the world to rights. Staff were very friendly but not pushy. They brought out some French bread with pesata & butter beans garnished with some rocket free of charge. We didn't eat here so it wouldn't be fair to comment. Same with the atmosphere, we were there around 3pm on a weekday so it was quiet. It's in a great location & I imagine that it's heaving in the evening.

It looks very impresive but the staff is trying to be as unwelcoming as they can. We sat at a terrace and the young waitres came to our table, didn't say a word, no hello, no welcome, just placed the menus at the table and left. I felt transperent, sorry I spent a single Euro there.

Service was very bad. Made eye contact with server(s) several times and was ignored. The minute I asked for my bill it arrived, though! No more crap service here! Disappointing. There are better places to grab a drink in the streets of Malta. Don’t go here.

good live music during the night! I loved this about the place. regarding food and drinks, they have some promos but mostly for snacking, so it’s not a spot to have a full meal. still, perfect for early drinks (since everything around here closes around midnight)

Was looking for a place to eat in Valletta and found this gem amongst the saturated touristy places. Service staff were quick and efficient and looked after us and our baby on a hot day. They have fans set up to keep you cool as well… groovy music at good volume. Staff on shift were Annia and Boris really top service thank you.

Very disappointed with our €9 margarita, which was served half full. When we asked about it, the waiter said that was the serving. Definitely killed the vibe.

The service🥰 absolutely makes your day...he definitely love his job...and always taking time for a smalltalk, a joke, or a good advice. Enjoy everyday a 2 for one Aperol,whith fresh tapas, just to relax whith a good jazz music but still being in the middle of the Valletta. See you next time 4 shure ♥️

we were initially impressed by the quirky characters serving. after waiting an 45min for pickled anchovies, mozzarella and tomato, a similar but different dish arrived with no explanation. when we finally. caught the eye of the server and asked for more drinks, he told us no! really bizzare.

Amazing music, fab cocktails but you come here foe the waiter. He's fabulous and worth the visit. Absolutely fab little bar.
