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 👍

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.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed visiting Fort St Angelo in the 3 Cities area. Coming from Australia you just don’t see this sort of thing. It’s historical significance is amazing and Malta should be proud of what they have done at this site. If you take your time and watch the media displays you will learn so much. Great views of Valletta and surrounding 3 Cities. Always a display of super yachts parked out front adds to the atmosphere.

My first fortress ever, and I’m really impressed. I especially enjoyed the residential part of the fort. It’s also a great spot to watch the cannon salutes in Valletta, and overall the fort offers stunning views of the sea and the city.

Fort St. Angelo is absolutely breathtaking and a must-see when visiting Birgu! The location itself is incredible, with panoramic views over the Grand Harbour and Valletta. The fort is steeped in history, from the time of the Knights of St. John to its role in World War II, and it’s very well presented with detailed exhibits and restored areas to explore. Walking through the bastions feels like stepping back in time, and the sense of scale is amazing. It’s peaceful, atmospheric, and a perfect place to take in Malta’s heritage. Highly recommended for both history lovers and anyone who enjoys stunning views.

Fort St. Angelo is one of many amazing buildings built by the Knights of the order of St. John. It is massive and it takes around 2 hours to roam and envelop all the wonderous nooks and crannies of this place. The views are amazing and take time to sit and watch the video productions especially the one in the middle room featuring the great siege of Malta.

Fort St. Angelo in Malta is an incredible historical site that offers a deep dive into the island’s rich past. The fort is beautifully preserved, with informative exhibits that bring centuries of history to life. The panoramic views of the Grand Harbour from the top are absolutely breathtaking. Overall, it’s a must-visit location with a powerful atmosphere and great historical significance.

An important historical monument for Malta with lots of history to it and beautiful views entrance fee is €10 for adult and €6 for children. Not many ques in the ticket booth

Extremely interesting place to visit. Full of information via a variety of sources. Quiet at the time of our visit and we'll worth it. Easy to get to if you get a water taxi from Valetta harbour (same place as the Gozo High Speed Ferry). Gives amazing views of the harbour and surrounding areas.

Food was amazing - the tuna tartar was WOW! Highly recommend to visit for the tasting menu. Service could not keep up with the food - had to pour the wine by myself and order second bottle. Overall - very good! Will come back.

We absolutely loved our meal at One80. The service is top notch too - our server Janko was incredibly friendly and attentive. He gave us the best recommendations. Highlights - the seafood pasta, the lamb, the rib eye. For dessert we shared the ice cream with almond brittle - divine!

What a fabulous discovery. The tasting menu was hit after hit - though desert could have had a big of fruit/something cold (maybe that’s just preference?!). Staff were lovely and the environment is relaxed, welcoming, and upscale without being pretentious.

We visited for the plant-based menu and all I can say is WOW! The food was absolutely delicious. The best we've had on the island by far. I really recommend the mushroom dumplings and local carrot dish. The prices were very fair for the quality of food that you are served. We were served by Maricel and the service was excellent. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a delicious meal.

A laid back but quality bistro with beautiful and very tasty food. Portion size is good and many varied with a few little tweaks on classic combinations. Service was laid back and not at all intrusive.

Absolutely no complaints about the food! The flavours were fantastic and the presentation was gorgeous. Unfortunately, once we’d finished our main courses we felt somewhat forgotten about and weren’t offered dessert or further drinks. We waited 30 minutes before asking for the bill and leaving which was disappointing.

We ordered two courses each plus one dessert, and all dishes were definitely lacking in flavour and refinement. The fish was dry and tasted of nothing, the risotto was overcooked and very common. The restaurant itself has a fresh modern and chic vibe, and the staff is well trained. All in all it was a huge disappointment. How can this restaurant be recommended by the guide Michelin?

Brilliant place for a vegan ftira in Malta. This wee sandwich shop in the heart of Valetta offers made to order sandwiches and you can choose your ingredients from the large selection of vegetables and sauces that are vegan friendly. I think we had kunserva (traditional Maltese tomato sauce/spread) with rocket, aubergine & sun dried tomatoes and my partner avocado and mushroom. Both on traditional ftira bread. Very generous portion and nice to try traditional dishes from Malta but veganised.

Had a long exhausting day of sight seeing and was craving for something light and refreshing for lunch. Stumbled upon this cute little sandwich shop by chance and decided to give it a try with not much expectations and it surprisingly turned out to be one of the most delicious focaccia sandwich I’ve ever had. The bread was warm still, soft and crispy and the ingredients were fresh. Simple yet such a delight. Gets better with each bite. Genuinely could tell that the sandwiches were made with lots of love 🥪💞 A “culinary serendipity”!! 🌟 Please do yourself a favour and come try out one of their sandwiches if you’re nearby and tell them I said hi if you can 💃🏻

I visited The Submarine for lunch. It is located in the center, the people running the restaurant are very friendly & nice. There is an elaborate menu from which we can pick & choose whatever we want in the sandwich. It is helpful for vegetarians and vegans. The sandwich tasted amazing & it is pretty cheap! Highly recommended for everyone. I had selected Baguette with hot sauce, potatoes, onions & avocados.

Possibly the best sandwich i have ever had and not just in Malta. Super fresh ingredients and so tasty. Lovely service and always busy. For a little space it knows how to pack out and make good tasty food!

These are the best sandwiches you will ever eat!! The traditional Maltese bread (Ftira) is the perfect size and texture, the choices for toppings are unbelievable, and Simone’s customer service is outstanding. We went four times during our stay (including one to takeaway to the airport), and each time, Simone’s sandwiches delivered on flavour, freshness and price point (approx 5 euro per sandwich). Each sandwich is made with love and care. The toppings are evenly disturbed within the sandwich, ensuring each bite is as pleasant as the last. This is hands down the best meal we ate in Malta. There is also great seating available in the shade outside, and Simone will deliver your sandwiches and ice cold Kinnie with a smile.

Amazing place with delicious freshly made sandwiches. I ordered vegetarian maltese and the cheese was wonderful. The service was very helpful and friendly, helped a lot with choosing the perfect option. You can choose from different types or make your own sandwich. The bread was fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We waited only a few minutes for our order and paid 8€ for one sandwich. Highly reccomend!

Without doubt, the best sandwich my wife and I ever had. The woman working behind the counter is awesome, no frills, all warmth and jokes. Make your own, over 300,000 (yes) combinations. All fresh and delicious. You can't come to the island of Malta and not try this place. Ftira bread is the winning ticket ;)

Tonight (16 May) we dined at Noni. My mother joined us and she has significant mobility issues. The staff was incredibly accommodating of her mobility needs and food issues. They could not have been kinder and it nearly left me in tears. On top of that the food and drinks were just fantastic and I say that having been to many Michelin starred restaurants before. This was the highlight of our wonderful trip to Malta.

I was lucky enough to visit this restaurant. It was one of the best decisions I've made. You feel like you're in another dimension when you taste these dishes, the play of flavors, the impressive presentation, and the excellent service. Yes, the prices aren't cheap, but it's worth it. We'll definitely come back.

I dined here this evening and simply put, this was the best meal of my life. I'm a nobody from the states. I'm not a food critic, I'm not a blogger but I have traveled the world and have many good meals in my life. I didn't know food could taste like this. I'll recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone and my highest respects to the chef and staff. 1,000/10

We had dinner at Noni with a group of seven. The staff was reasonably friendly, and the restaurant itself is located in a beautiful historic building. We were seated upstairs — still nice, but a bit less atmospheric than the main floor and a little chilly because of the air conditioning. The food was very good. It’s a set-menu concept with several courses, where you can choose between a standard or a more extended version, plus a few optional dishes. The flavors were excellent — the fish, for example, was outstanding — but the portions were quite small. One dish, a ravioli course, literally consisted of a single raviolo. If you go for the basic menu without extras, you might leave feeling a bit hungry. The wines, on the other hand, were excellent and paired very well with the food. All in all, Noni is a very good restaurant with refined dishes and great wine, but considering the price and portion sizes, I wouldn’t call it an absolute must.

We had dinner on September 30th. It is located in a quiet street in Valletta away from the daily tourism. Unfortunately, the place is divided into two parts, 3 tables on the entrance floor (quite anonymous in my opinion and certainly does not understand the history of the place) and other tables on the lower floor where the kitchen is located and where you can really breathe the 400 years of the place. We were given a table on the upper floor, and the only one under the air conditioning outlet (we asked if they could turn it off because it was quite annoying, they turned it off only for 10 minutes after which it was turned back on) we had dinner with the sweater. Good food, well presented and well explained by the staff (attentive and friendly staff). The sore point in my opinion is the price (price that we knew before coming), not in line with the dinner offered and the location.

Simply outstanding. Praises for the food where one course was better and more beautiful than the next We had the base wine pairing and it was a delicious selection of wines including local wine. A gem!

Thank you to this restaurant for an incredible experience. The food was as exquisite and delicious as possible. This is exactly the case when the dish is unsurpassed in appearance and taste. The service was also at the highest level.

This tiny eatery at the top of St Paul’s Street in Valletta could be so much more. Unfortunately it looks like it’s small size gas not managed to overcome the costs of doing business and it has fallen on hard times. The very limited wine list and excessive pricing (6 times the retail price for a Doppio Passo Primitivo) seems to point in that direction. Nevertheless the chef patron was engaging and spent some time with us, considering the only other server seemed to lack the finesse needed for the prices we were charged. A case in point to mention is that the cost of what we had was comparable to higher class restaurants serving better food, greater choice, with better service and a more memorable experience. All this was short or completely lacking on the night we were there.

The food was plain and tasteless, especially the chicken and the veal. There were no spices or herbs used on the chicken, the veggies or the potato mash... The 25eur veal tasted like a plain schnitzel. We finished our meals only because we were hungry & tired. Our waiter kept repeating that he is very satisfied that we liked the food. This was a statement we never made ourselves and we finally had to reply that it's not exactly the case. Then the waiter returned with the chef and they made the point that we should have returned the dishes when we didn't like them instead of finishing them - not a great solution when you are hungry and tired. Also, I was not looking forward to choose another dish or to give a recipe to the chef on how to improve the taste. The service overall was poor for the quality of the restaurant they want to maintain. There were multiple issues, the most interesting one was that the waiter left the bottle of wine on the table and expected us to open it. Of course we then asked him to do that himself, which he did. They gave us a chocolate tart on the house to compensate for the experience with the main dishes. We appreciated the gesture, hence this is a 2* review instead of 1*. But anyone considering a visit should be warned.

After todays walking we wanted dinner to be close. And ideally away from the madding crowd. This restaurant did not disappint. Put aside the fact that we were the only two patrons, it was an event to savour. Never before have we had this experience. Seated on a street away, but close to the restaurant. Served by an elder gentleman called Patrick who was happy to chat and answer our questions - about anything really. Later Dimitri the chef came and had a chat too and as we paid our bill, we were able to chat to his kids - and tell them to go to bed!! Dad’ll be home soon.

We visited Dimitri on Friday 9/8 for a late lunch (around 1:30 pm) and had THE BEST experience with Chef Dimitri. I ordered the trio mushroom pasta and Chef Dimitri recommended the chicken and chorizo pasta for my son. Since my son does not eat pork, Chef said he would make it without the chorizo. Let me tell you...BEST pasta we've ever had !! The pasta is made fresh and you can tell. All the ingredients used tasted fresh and went so well with the red wine suggested by the chef. I'm so glad good this delicious redirecting and HIGHLY recommend visiting Chef Dimitri!

Lovely evening with friends complimented with divine homemade pasta. Hadn't had such an amazing pasta dish in ages.

Fabulous food and fantastic Dimitri! We had the Maltese fish soup, octopus stew, rabbit and the lobster pasta accompanied by a bottle of very good local Chardonnay. Everything was delicious and Dimitri made us feel like we were his close friends rather than guests. This is definetly the place to eat while in Valletta! And the homemade bread was to die for!

Nice restaurant in a quiet street of Valletta. Friendly staff. Tagliatelle Frutti di Mare al Cartoccio was amazing 👍It's Squid Ink Pasta cooked al cartoccio with fresh mussels, tomatoes, clams, calamari cooked in garlic and finished in a fresh prawn bisque sauce.

Decent size mall. Great foot traffic for a Sunday. Name brands are available. Some tenant space empty. Heavily invested on LED curve screen panel with graphic signage minus advertisement. Palm tree column design. PU flooring on escalators landing and around glass railings. Malta vibes color ceramic floor tiles. Generous parking space. Wide playground with water fountain. 4 level shopping with different color coding columns like orange, sea breeze and tangerine color. No cinema. EuroSpar complete and has varieties

Excellent shopping Mall. lots of trendy shops and plenty of food outlets where you can enjoy time with friends. very clean and modern .parking is excellent. waiting at ticket machines can be a problem. Tigne square at level 0 is very nice to enjoy a drink . A must go tonplace for shopaholics

A convenient and modern shopping centre with four levels and over 50 shops, ranging from fashion and sportswear to household goods and books. It also has cafés, restaurants and a supermarket, all within a spacious 15,000 m² setup. With around 1,000 underground parking spaces and a beautiful waterfront location, it’s easy to access and scenic. Clean, accessible, and family-friendly. That said, it can get quite crowded, and facilities may be harder to find during peak hours. It’s a reliable shopping choice on the island, but not a standout one.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The hidden gem that goes to bed before you do! 😴 The Point is that rare breed of shopping centre that's managed to crack the code: big enough to matter, quiet enough to actually enjoy. Walking through here feels like discovering a secret that everyone forgot to tell you about 🤫 The space is genuinely impressive - proper corridors, decent lighting, and thankfully none of that claustrophobic maze nonsense you get elsewhere. Staff are sound, shops are well-maintained, and there's actually room to breathe without getting trampled by pram-wielding families. The atmosphere hits that sweet spot between bustling and peaceful 🛍️ But here's the catch (there's always one, isn't there?) - they pack up shop at 19:30! That's earlier than my nan's bedtime 😂 So if you're one of those after-work shopping warriors, you'll need to adjust your battle plan accordingly. Top tip: Hit this place weekend mornings or early evenings for the full zen shopping experience. Perfect for when you want retail therapy without the actual therapy bills 💸 Honestly brilliant if you can work around their early bird schedule!

The Point is Malta’s main mall but quite small with limited shops. It lacks variety and many popular brands are gone. Prices are high for what’s offered. It used to be better, but now it feels more like a basic shopping spot than a real retail destination

​Tigne Point Mall (The Point) in Sliema is a modern, and high-energy destination for shopping and leisure. ​There is an excellent mix of brands, ranging from popular international fashion stores like Kiabi, Bershka, and Stradivarius to luxury accessories and lifestyle outlets Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Harmont&Blaine, AX Armani Exchange, Swarovski, Guess, and Marks & Spencer Food. ​Also, there are numerous comfortable cafe and dining spaces scattered across the levels, and it is a great spot to relax.

My fav shopping centre in Malta. Really popular, close to the promenade, cafes, bars and rocky beaches. Modern facilities and many interesting shops, restaurants, etc. ❤️🇲🇹

Pretty good mall, full of nice clothes brands, it has a food court and a gaming space, when I went it was empty for some reason but it's a nice place to have a meal or shop for some clothes. A good few floors, compared to what they have in uk, very expensive. Had a perfume shop, was double the price of airport and duty free.

Malta's shopping centres are so disappointing ...like 10 shops in total and a poor selection of eating places on the ground floor. Come to the UK ..and then you'll realise what a real shopping centre is like (100+ shops, massive food courts, cinema, nice free to use toilets).

A quiet, cozy mall that has selected brands but serves the purpose. You can have a bite shop and continue your journey in the neighborhood. Not that much of variety but again you could find what you’re looking for here in a selected items at selected shops

It is a good shopping center, well organised with a variety of shops. However, one has to pay €1 to use the bathroom, even customers in possession of receipt/ proof of purchase from one of the business in the Center... Disappointing 😞

Not customer friendly. Only one toilet, that requires you to put in exactly one euro, but doesn't change, doesn't have ATM.

Not to big not to small shopping centre. It will have all you need for sure. Ralph Laurent or Scotch and Soda will dress you for any occasion. Intercomp will provide you with latest technology haha. Clean and good place to do your shopping. This time perfume was an goal! Thanks

Cute mall, full of nice clothes brands, it has a food court and a gaming space, when I went it was empty for some reason but it's a nice place to have a meal or shop for some clothes.

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.

The paccheri with swordfish was delicious, but unfortunately, even though the restaurant was almost empty at the time, the plate of various fried foods (fritto tiella) that was not on the menu was not very satisfying. The fried mozzarella balls were cold inside, as were the croquettes. The arancini were not bad, but the fried pizza was too salty and inedible, and the Aperol Spritz was just okay.

I read great reviews but quality is lacking, so dissapointing. Plus only two gluten free choices. No vegan cheese. Improvement feedback: -staff and the manager need to listen more attentively to customer orders. -fish should be checked for scales -there is no excuse to risk the health and safety of customers. Training is needed to ensure they learn how to clean it. -when a customer informs staff of an allergy, get the manager and don't just hand them a menu. -when a customer gives feedback, saying nothing looks very careless. Show some understanding and even compensate or reassure them you will take the comments on board. Details below. - was just handed me us by a lady on asking what is gluten free- bit ignorant and not attentive enough. -the manager took my order after confirming he could make any pasta dish gluten free. The chef came out, which was very good if only they listened to what I wanted. I clearly pointed to the vegetables and said a few times that I'd like a mixture of vegetables including carrots, courgettes and peppers which was listed under a different pasta. They said ok and added they would put tomatoes in. -most of the pasta dish was tomatoes with about 3 diced pieces of courgette. They charged me 3 euros for the 'grilled veg' which is cheeky considering there was 90% tomatoes. -hubby's fish was not scaled so he kept getting scales in his mouth. His excuse was that the fish comes ready so they can't. Not worth 24 euros if the fish is not even checked properly before serving. Unjustifiable. On giving feedback, the manager just clumped his mouth shut and took the bill. Very defensive.

We’ve been coming to Rossopomodoro regularly, and one of the main reasons we always enjoy our visits is Vishnu. He’s an exceptional manager — always welcoming, kind, and attentive. No matter how busy the place is, Vishnu makes time to greet us with a smile and ensure everything is perfect. His professionalism and friendly attitude truly elevate the whole dining experience. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about both the guests and the atmosphere, but Vishnu does it effortlessly. Thank you, Vishnu, for always making us feel so valued and at home!

We went there more than once and everything the pizza was very good,. A wide choice with new addition to the menu every time. You can also enjoy the table outside in Piazza Tigne especially in summer. For other suggestions follow us on Instagram Hungry_travelers Armando & Caterina

The food was absolutely delicious. I can't name the dishes properly in Italian 🇮🇹 but let me try to describe. Basically my wife ordered Spaghetti 🍝 Carbonara and I ordered the pasta with seafood 🦞 🐚. We ordered an Italian white wine which paired perfectly with the food. Do yourself a favor and visit them! Cheers 🥂

Service was friendly and the venue was clean with a neat simple fitout. I ate the vego burger and my wife at the chicken burger and they both had a serving of chips. They didn't have coke zero and only had pepsi max to offer which seems a bit old fashion. The staff gave us plenty of Mayo and tomato sauce which was good. Upon our food being served the chips tasted like they weren't that fresh and needed seasoning. Both our burgers were tastless and were begging for some flavour. The second half of the chicken in the buger was rock hard and couldn't be bitten through. This place seems like a good family restaurant, but I wouldn't be going here if you are after a magical hospitality experience.

Good welcome from staff, classic menu of Italian cuisine with prevalence of pizza and pasta. Modern well-appointed venue with many tables on the outdoor terrace. I read several complaints about the wait time, we were served very quickly, maybe we were lucky I don't know. The pizza very good, mortadella and pistachio is a treat. Only one note: the lemon slice with sparkling water needs to be there.

A wonderful spot by the waterfront! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming. The food was delicious, full of flavor and prepared with care, and the drinks matched perfectly — refreshing and well-balanced. The service is great: the staff was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations. There are often queues, but it’s definitely worth waiting a bit — the overall experience makes up for it. Perfect place for both a relaxed meal and a special evening out. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Just had an amazing experience at this restaurant! Other reviewers weren't kidding about the traditional rabbit dish, it was absolutely delicious and the portion was enormous. I could barely finish it all! The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned, very authentic preparation. What really stood out was the exceptional service. The waiter was incredibly polite and attentive throughout the entire meal. You can tell the staff really cares about making sure guests have a great time. Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic cuisine with generous portions and top notch service!

All the food we had was lovely and plenty of it. Nice place to sit and have dinner and watch the world go by. The staff were good and polite but there was not interaction with them. Overall a good place to eat

Went for a delicious breakfast in Sliema at Tiffany’s Bistro this morning . Full English breakfast, omelettes, toasties, Burgers, great coffee & great service. Modern restaurant, cosy atmosphere, friendly staff. Perfect spot for brunch, lunch or coffee near the seafront. Highly recommended for quality food in Malta :) come and give it a try, you won’t be disappointed

Highly recommend this place. We were so famished, we forgot to take pics of the food but everything was great! The drinks were flavorful and hit the spot. The restaurant is in a great location nearby to so much. If you want an all in one place to visit, drink, great atmosphere and great food then this is your spot.

The portions were very generous. The size of the pasta could have been to 2-3 people. So order it when you are really hungry. It wasn’t a flavorful experience and the carbonara was slightly over done - had a hint of egg taste to it. Its located at a busy street so you will hear cars and have lots of people pasaing through the restaurant. I appreciated that it also had an area where smoking was not allowed.

We were on a trip in Malta and walked past the restaurant a few times, we decided to give it a shot. Best decision ever. Had dinner there 3 times after that. We did reverve a table to avoid waiting times, the last day we arrived early and it still wasn't a problem even though the restaurant was full and long line was waiting outside. The staff is very friendly, smiling the whole time. The food was excellent 10/10, the cocktails were also the bests we had in Malta the whole week. If I go back to Malta, I'm going to visit again for sure.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive, with the staff being friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. A special shout-out to the lovely waitress who spoke Portuguese — she made us feel right at home. Her warm attitude and helpful recommendations really elevated our dining experience. It's rare to find such welcoming service, and we truly appreciated it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and outstanding hospitality!

Amazing atmosphere with one of the best night views of Valletta. The setting is beautiful and perfect for a relaxing dinner. The steak was cooked to perfection and full of flavor, and the service was attentive and friendly. A great place for a special evening in Malta!

Quite disappointing experience considering the Michelin recommendations and the price range. Staff is super nice, knowledgeable, accommodating, polite and just how it should be in this kind of restaurant. Definitely way above Maltese service standards. But bottle of water should be brought to the table closed and opened at the table, otherwise who knows what cheap water is in the Aqua Pana bottle and how many times the bottle was refilled. And yes, that's common practice in the industry. The environment is nice and service (serving and clearing out) is prompt. We opted for 75 euro tasting menu, which was disappointing, as from 7 dishes only 3 were nice (presentation and taste-wise), remaining dishes lacked in enjoyable presentation (especially the risotto, definitely should not be served on flat plate), or in taste (lots of strong/unique flavours in menu but not on plate). The fish dish was on our request replaced with the pork dish, but pork was 50% just fat. Not enjoyable at all. I struggled to even swallow it, due to the fatty texture and taste. It should be a standard in good restaurants not to let 1 noisy table take over the entire restaurant, but to moderate noisy guests so all guests can have pleasant time. Especially in a restaurant which aims to be seen as above average. But that was definitely not the case here. Also clearing out everything from tables 2 hours before closing and turning off the table lamps results in you sitting in dark room which feels very inhospitable. Considering the price and delivered enjoyment won't return to this place.

We had the pleasure of dining at Chophouse Restaurant during a team trip to Malta, and it was one of the culinary highlights of our stay. First of all, the view is absolutely stunning – the terrace overlooks Valletta’s skyline, especially magical at sunset or when the city lights reflect on the water in the evening. A truly memorable backdrop for dinner. The menu focuses on premium cuts and grilled dishes, with high-quality ingredients and careful preparation. From starters to dessert, every plate was beautifully presented and full of flavour. Service was friendly and attentive, and the wine selection was excellent, with great pairings recommended by the staff. Chophouse combines fine dining with a relaxed atmosphere and is perfect for both professional dinners and special occasions. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Malta – and absolutely worth it for the view alone.

After a long day, we visited Chophouse seeking a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were attentive and professional, creating a comfortable dining experience. I opted for the steak tartare, which was fresh and well seasoned. The asparagus with sesame sauce was enjoyable, though the sesame flavor was overpowering. The highlight of the evening was the impressive view of fireworks, providing a memorable end to the meal. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those looking to unwind with good food and a pleasant ambiance.

At the entrance, you'll be met by a rather stiff head waiter. If you're looking for a warm welcome, you might want to skip this restaurant and head to Bonvivant in Berlin instead. They also have a Michelin star, but the atmosphere there is far more inviting. The service at the table on the other hand was very friendly. The food here is good—perhaps a bit on the salty side, but still flavorful. The view is stunning; just try to overlook the balustrade, which looks like it was last painted decades ago and now sports a kind of unintentional "trashy chic." One last tip: avoid the restroom if you can. For such an elegant restaurant, it's surprisingly messy and clearly not checked as often as it should be.

Just had my wedding reception at the chophouse in May. And it was SPECTACULAR!! Every aspect of the evening was 10/10. The food was incredible, every course of our bespoke menu was devine. The service was nothing I've experienced at any other wedding. They catered to every wish and hope I had for my big day to ensure it was met and I would recommend this venue to anyone thinking of a wedding in Malta. Furthermore we had several meals at the chophouse, each of which were amazing, it's the perfect restaurant for a special meal of fabulous views and food at any time! Thank you Natalia, Keith and Chef David!

This was a stunning experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly attentive, but never too much- they created a friendly and cozy environment throughout the whole dinner. I loved the explanation of the dishes- very well detailed and clear. Wine was great and the sommelier was very knowledgeable. The food was incredible- such different flavours to what you expect and usually eat. I loved the combination of ingredients that I never thought could go together. Chef Victor is a genius and you can taste his passion for food in his dishes. Thank you for a wonderful evening- Lia and Jenni

This was an exquisite dining experience! Where shall I start? We were shown to our private room with a simple decor but elegant. The waiting staff was professional and courteous throughout the evening. We had the tasting menu which consists of 5 courses and many 'surprises' by Chef Victor. Each course is a unique display of artistry with an explosion of flavours. Each of the courses is not just served... The servers set up the table with props so that you can experience something truly original... Then you try the food and you're in heaven. The restaurant offers a great wine list and expert connoisseur to suggest best wine options. The experience lasts for roughly 4 hours however, the ambience is just perfect and time flies by. A wonderful experience indeed... Well done Chef Victor and all the Under Grain Team!

Best michelin star restaurant I have ever been to. The quality and taste of food, the presentation, the service, the timing - everything was just perfect and left me with awe. Even though I had only opted for the two course meal, I felt very full and satisfied by the end of my experience. The entire dinner lasted 3 hours, just like they said. If you decide to dine with Under Grain, allot for extra time, as they take care in enjoying the food and the presence of others. At the end of our dinner, we even got to say our thanks to the chef! I enjoyed just about everything that was served. The rabbit dish as well as the indoor picnic were quite delicious and memorable. We were first led to a lobby to wait before heading down. Be careful, there are two restaurants with similar names: Over Grain and Under Grain. We almost walked into the wrong restaurant! You must book ahead.

After spending €440 on a tasting menu for 2, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect first class, award winning, competition beating, blow your socks off food. IT WASN'T 😪!. After a polite welcome and being up sold some fizz, we then had to wait nearly an hour for the first "snacks" to arrive. The entire evening took 4.5hrs!! Way too long and way too slow. We were actually bored by the end and couldn't wait to get out of there. The food was ok at best. It lacked flair, flavour, and the presentation was no better than a gastro pub. The service, albeit polite and slick, was far from friendly and welcoming. It felt wooden and scripted. I would sadly not recommend this restaurant.

During our recent visit to Under Grain in Malta, we found the dining experience to be mostly very enjoyable, particularly with the quality of the food. The dishes were thoughtfully prepared and flavorful. However, we felt the overall quantity of food was a bit overwhelming—especially the main course featuring fish and the dessert. A slightly smaller portion, or reducing some of the additional surprise elements, might allow for a more balanced experience. The menu itself was somewhat confusing. Some courses came with extra explanations in the same font and color, but important details—such as the cheese course and caviar being charged as extras—were not clearly highlighted. This got a bit lost on us at first, especially since the waiter spoke at a very low volume and occasionally unclear, making it harder to clarify these points during service. Service-wise, the staff was attentive, but the frequent water refills felt a bit overbearing, as our glasses were continually topped up even when we weren’t drinking. It seemed a bit intrusive rather than thoughtful. Regarding the wine, we weren't particularly impressed with the pairing offered. For those who prefer not to take the full pairing, the team seemed to have limited suggestions for choosing wines by the glass. In summary, Under Grain offers good food with creative touches, but I recommend to pay close attention to the menu details, perhaps opt for selecting wines individually, and be aware that portions may be more generous than expected. It also says on their website that you cannot wear shorts, but this was not true since a few guests did. Should just remove this from the website.

Dinner at Under Grain was a perfect way to end my vacation in Malta. The food is great (try the langoustine three ways), they have really good local wines by the glass but what really blew me away was the level of service and attention to detail. Everyone from the servers to the sommelier were at the top of their game. While it’s not cheap, quite a lot of freebies are included in the set menu option like some amazing snacks, a great bread course with jamon iberico and a pre dessert. Overall, a must visit.

My dining experience at Under grain was beautiful! The food were incredibly delicious. The service was top notch. It truly deserves its Michelin star. I also absolutely adored the random little surprises from the chef. I could not have chosen a better place for dinner. Truly wonderful, would definitely visit again.

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.

There are many art museums, each with its own unique offerings. This particular museum is predominantly focused on modern art, which, while visually intriguing, often feels devoid of deeper meaning and substance. Some exhibits may not be appropriate for children under 12, and instead of enriching perspectives on life, culture, and spirituality, they seem to lean towards triviality and provocation. Ultimately, while some may find value in these exhibits, they do not resonate with me.

Had the absolute pleasure of performing in a sold-out play at Spazju Kreattiv, and the experience was incredible. The venue has this intimate yet powerful energy that really elevates any performance. Shoutout to the amazing team behind the scenes and all the love from the audience.

Beautiful space in Valletta, set in a historic 16th-century building – rotating exhibitions, creative atmosphere, long opening hours and free entry. Definitely worth a visit.

Some really interesting art in a fantastic building. They even have some excellent and thought provoking paintings by an anonymous artist who is only know it his symbol. Plus a little cinema!!

Showcasing a lot of work from emerging artists and designers from university, some great thought-provoking works in a bright modern venue.

Entrance to the exhibit is free, allowing you to enjoy the Program of Creative Arts and Culture more than once if you have the time. Exciting and sometimes moving exhibits throughout the building with amazingly beautiful works of art. Great way to spend an hour or more out of the sun while in Valletta.

Possibly the strangest place I have ever visited. The building itself is awesome and the fact that the entrance is free is incredible. But the art inside is not something I am ever going to understand. However if you are the type of person who loves these types of exhibitions and looking for meaning, then this is most definitely the place for you. But even if you are not I would still recommend visiting, who knows, you might find it interesting, and after all it's free.

The flavors, presentation, service, everything was top notch! This place deserves Michelin recognition & we will be back again before we leave (not to mention every time we visit from here on out)! The Crispy Spinach Chaat, Aloo Tiki with Saffron Oil, & Kashmiri Rogan Josh are not to be missed!

We had such a wonderful evening at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. A very special thank you goes to our waiter Hemu – he was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. You could truly feel that he enjoys what he does. He packed up our leftovers so nicely and even surprised us with naan twice, completely on the house – such a thoughtful and rare gesture. We felt so well taken care of and will definitely come back again. Big thanks to Hemu and the whole team! 🙏✨

Absolutely amazing experience! The food is bursting with flavor, the naan is the best I’ve ever had, my absolute favourite The Crispy Spinach Chaat, and the cocktails are superb. The staff are warm and attentive, and the atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming. A must-visit in Malta! AND OFCOURSE A HUGE THANK YOU TO HIMANSHU FOR HELPING ME FIND MY PHONE WHICH I WAS LOST IN THE TAXI. NOWADAYS it's hard to find such a nice and honest person!

Incredible restaurant! So kind, accommodating and delicious food! We really appreciated the service they provided and their generosity! Highly recommend checking them out. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, we should know we ordered practically everything on the menu

Fabulous meal in Valletta.. Salmon with Masala Rice was so flavoursome with the Mango and Apple. The South Indian beef was so tender, definitely recommend. Great sized portions too. Staff were polite and friendly

13 September 2025 Superb North indian style cuisine . Had a delicious meal at Naan Bar, Valletta. I wanted a hot chicken curry and the Manager, Himanshu, obliged by asking the chef to make me a hot madras. This was full of the flavours of North India. Prawn mango curry - mildly tangy and not overwhelmingly sweet as these curries often turn out in most indian restaurants. Veg Biryani and Nan bread also excellent Got to see their downstairs dining area which was well laid out. Large window allowed a view of the kitchen and chefs at work ( always a good sign that the management is confident of its hygiene standards and diners can clearly see that all the good is freshly cooked . Staff were welcoming, polite and helpful. Overall a really good dining experience and I have to say that the quality of the food was as good as some of the best indian I have had.

Very busy and although I hadn't booked the managed to fit me in. The service was great, the food was wonderful, matching the aroma outside as you approached! I'll book next time. I recommend you do the same.

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!

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.

You walk in expecting a modest little collection — a few paintings, maybe a dusty bust of someone important if you squint. And then suddenly, boom, they hit you with more art than the building can physically handle. It’s like the curators kept saying “Oh, and put this one up too” until every wall had the visual density of a Renaissance flea market. Does it feel cluttered? A little. Do I care? Not really — if the choice is between “too much art” and “not enough art,” I know where I stand. Now, about those little description signs: lovely idea, questionable execution. Sometimes the different language sections aren’t separated into paragraphs. It’s not a disaster, but after a while, you start reading everything twice. The building itself is gorgeous — the kind of place you wish you could rent for a long weekend and pretend you inherited. Staff are friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and despite the occasional wall feeling like a visual game of Tetris, the experience is genuinely excellent.

If you’re visiting Valletta, I highly recommend stopping by MUŻA, the National Community Art Museum of Malta. It’s not a huge museum — you can see everything in about an hour and a half (or even an hour if you go quickly) — but it’s well worth the time. The collection is varied and engaging, featuring works by Maltese artists as well as international ones. You’ll find paintings, sculptures, and a range of interesting objects, all well-presented in a beautifully restored historic building. Overall, it’s a great way to experience Malta’s artistic heritage and see some truly lovely pieces of art without spending half a day. Definitely worth a visit while you’re in the area.

Interesting museum but with few great paintings and painters - except for Il Caravaggio and G. Bellini. The Baroque period is well represented, plus they have a few Icons which are beautiful. Don't expect something like Gli Uffizi in Italy. However, it was a pleasant and decent visit, in a nice environment.

Absolutely loved our dinner at Mùzu in Valletta. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavour — the risotto and dessert were real highlights. Huge thanks to Raj, our waiter, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience seamless. And special shout-out to Dinesh for the incredible cocktails — some of the best we had in Malta. Stylish setting, great vibes. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The permanent exhibition presents art and artefacts through different period of the Maltese heritage and history. A surprising discovery. The staff is friendly and very helpful.

Beautiful Maltese paintings and sculptures. Highly recommended a visit to see the breadth of art available here. Particularly liked the sculptures myself.

I liked the more modern art but the baroque is not really my taste. Well presented but could have done with being offered a plan/layout or audio guide as it was really difficult to find the way out from first floor! Could have been difficult in a fire as one fire exit sign took us to a lift. I would say that staff are more interested in security than ensuring visitors have a good experience.

Lovely little restaurant with spirit in heart of Valeta. Amazing experience; tried tasting menu with wine pairing. Recommend as you'll try many typical dishes, well done prepared and delicious. Staff very friendly and attentive. Pasta dishes delicious, the fish as well, rabbit was also the same level. It's expensive but if you want to treat yourself, good choice.

What an amazing place, a great way to end our day in Valetta. Tucked away on the corner of a street just off the main thoroughfare of Republic St, you go down into the restaurant and almost back in time, a very nostalgic, quaint, intimate setting. We booked and good thing too with only 5 tables. But the food was incredible, service excellent and a truly great experience. The Octopus starter was exceptionally good.

We had a wonderful welcome in this beautiful restaurant. We opted for the land and sea tasting menus, with 1 paired wine for the land. The wine was delicious. The food was nice and the outstanding dish was the root vegetable lasagne. We felt several courses were very under seasoned, and the seabass course lacked any flavour. That said, we enjoyed the evening, and Femi the waiter was excellent. The food and wine were very reasonably priced.

We had a fantastic experience at Guze. The manager was friendly and helpful and explained each of the dishes and best wines to pair with them. The amuse bouche was a cauliflower soup, local bread and a tomato pesto, incredible! The black pig and the octopus starter were exquisite in display and taste and the main courses of veal and and the local fish, just perfect. The atmosphere atmosphere was lovely, tucked away in one of Valletta’s charming old buildings. Couldn’t recommend it more highly, worth going out of your way to dine here! Thank you!

Amazing experience ran by local Maltese. Great flavours , presentation and taste. The service was perfect and the food was brilliant.

Excellent choice for a special night out with Greta atmosphere. The menu had great choices and the food was wonderful. Great service with special “extras” made for a memorable evening.

Stunningly good in every respect! This was our second visit a year after the first having remembered the warm welcome and good food in this wonderful place. We tried the tasting menu, 5 courses with wines and were just blown away. All helped by a great host, amazing food, and the tiny entrance which makes you feel like you're entering another world (well it did me at 6'4"). We'll be back again.

The food at this five-star restaurant was exceptional—flavorful, well-cooked, and beautifully presented. The wine selection was also fantastic, perfectly complementing the meal. The atmosphere was elegant and inviting, making it a great spot for a special night out. However, the service left something to be desired. The waiters seemed to stare at our table the entire time, which made us feel a bit uncomfortable. Additionally, the main waiter bumped into my arm quite harshly without apologizing or acknowledging it. Despite the service issues, the food and wine were truly outstanding, making it worth a visit.

Your expectations are high when visiting a 2 start Michelin restaurant, unfortunately they did not get there this time. I have visited one star Michelin restaurants that have a more polished experience. The food was fresh and had a deep flavors as well as a lot of variation. The first two small dishes were excellent and deserve five stars. But, I was full after the fish main course, after that came the meat main course and 3 desserts. The placement of the cutlery was also odd and not the same for I and my partner, I hade to move them before I got my food, otherwise the plate was place at the corner of the table not in front of me... To end on a good note the wine pairing was perfect and the Swedish speaking servant was really good. Nice and calm atmosphere.

We’ve eaten at Simon Rogan’s L’Enclume many times, so we weren’t sure how Ion would compare — but it absolutely exceeded expectations. Every course was beautifully balanced, inventive, and full of flavour. The service was impeccable: warm, attentive, and perfectly paced without ever feeling rushed. The setting, overlooking Valletta, was breathtaking and added so much to the experience. An exceptional meal from start to finish — thoughtful, elegant, and memorable. The highlight of our trip to Malta.

Incredible bday experience! The food was spectacular, as expected. The view was also amazing. But the thing that turned this into an incredible birthday was the service and atmosphere. The staff members (with the highlight being Chil, if I’m spelling it well) were fantastic - really fun! We love good food but hate the stuffy, pretentious service that you sometimes get in Michelin star restaurants and this was a breath of fresh air. Thanks for giving me an amazing birthday! Extra tip: get the wine pairing, it’s really worth it

A fantastic experience in every way. Lunch tasting menu was an excellent option for relaxed dining over 2-2.5 hours, definitely worth adding the wine flight. Excellent service and calm environment.

The food at Ion Harbour was excellent. Beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with great care. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite match the quality of the food. There were several servers looking after our table, which led to some confusion. At one point, a dish was being brought out but the server walked past our table down the terrace, then back again, before finally serving it to us. We also weren’t offered the optional caviar for one of the dishes, which felt like a missed detail. At the end of the meal, I asked for the drinks menu to enjoy a digestif, but were brought the bill instead. Halfway through the digestif we were given the bill again and told they needed to prepare for dinner service — even though there was still another table nearby eating. This left us feeling rushed and ended the experience on a sour note which was disappointing given the level of restaurant and the price point. Overall, the food was a highlight, but the service prevented the experience from feeling as special as it could have been.

I was very much looking forward to dining here, especially since it holds two Michelin stars, and made a reservation with high expectations. The atmosphere was excellent. However, the food was consistently overseasoned with an overpowering amount of salt, lacking the refinement one would expect at this level. I informed the waiter and asked if the seasoning could be adjusted, but the subsequent courses were still far too salty. I even left some dishes uneaten to make my dissatisfaction clear, yet no improvement was made. For lunch, I paid €200, but the overall experience felt closer in value to about €30. This left me questioning not only the restaurant itself, but also the credibility of the Michelin guide.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the degustation menu which had a very fair price. I had the feeling the chef didn't reach his full potential yet and a few dishes could have some small changes or additions to reach a complete culinair orgasme. The presentation was impeccable though.

🌟 Risette: A Cozy Culinary Gem in Valletta Tucked within the elegant Casa Ellul in the heart of Valletta, Risette is a fine dining experience that feels both refined and warmly intimate. Each dish is a celebration of seasonal produce and bold flavors. From delicate starters to artfully plated mains, every bite is thoughtfully composed and deeply satisfying. Risette’s atmosphere is cozy yet sophisticated. With soft lighting, attentive service, it’s the perfect setting for a romantic dinner or a quiet celebration. The space feels personal and welcoming, making diners feel like honored guests rather than just patrons. The staff are knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the food and wine they serve. Their attentiveness and ability to anticipate guests’ needs add a layer of comfort that complements the restaurant’s intimate vibe.

Where the soul savors and time stands still. Rarely is the palate moved to such emotion, but in this culinary sanctuary, every bite is an echo of wonder. To visit Malta and not surrender to dining in this place would be a lament that would haunt the soul through the years. From the first welcoming gesture, the majestic architecture embracing the space, the delicacy in every service detail, the exquisite curation of the cellar, and the symphony of dishes... here, everything is orchestrated with a precision that borders on the sublime. The pairing is an ancestral dance, a perfect ballet where each step merges wine with culinary creation, unleashing an explosion of the senses. Textures, ethereal and bold, alongside flavors from distant constellations, transport the spirit to unknown spheres. Sabrina, the head sommelier, weaves with her words a tapestry of knowledge, unveiling the hidden essence of each dish and, of course, the liquid history of the wines that dance in perfect harmony with them. It is a revelation, a masterclass that elevates dining to the category of art.

What an extraordinary culinary experience ! We took the degustation menu and had no regrets. The wine pairing was delicious and worth it. We discovered excellent new wines that were paired intelligently with each plate. The waiters and sommelier were friendly and helpful. One advice : the focaccia bread is sooo good !!! Try to keep some room for the rest of the meal!!!!

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The food in the tasting menu was exquisite and I'd love to go back again.

The atmosphere at Risette is simply magical. A friend of mine was moved to tears by the depth and perfection of some of the dishes — that’s how powerful the flavors are. Each plate was beautifully paired with outstanding wines, elevating the entire experience. Dining here is not just a meal; it’s a journey that everyone should experience at least once in their life. To visit Malta without experiencing Risette is to miss a part of what makes this island truly unforgettable.

What a wonderful culinary experience this was, wow. The food was spectacular, amazing layering of flavors and original combinations. Our cocktails were perfectly made and tasted delicious while making you feel a bit happy inside. Highly recommended.

There are so many things to see and to do. Most of the night clubs are located here. Nice restaurants to enjoy food and shops to buy whatever you want. Especially in Christmas period it was amazing.

Good little shopping centre with legit high street brands - the items are the same cost that’s in the UK so don’t expect any major discounts. I’d only recommend staying away from KFC as it’s one of the worst I’ve been to.

Fantastic a lovely Italian restaurant there with fantastic staff and food

Bay Street Shopping Complex is a really nice shopping center. It is clean and has a reasonable selection of shops. The location is really good, as there are a lot of interesting shops and places to eat around the centre. It is one of the best shopping centers in the area, so would recommend visiting the place. 4 sensible ☀️☀️☀️☀️ stars from me. 👍

I wish I took the advice of the reviews here earlier. Regret going here, worst mall comparable to a third world country mall with really few if not overpriced options. Parking is only free for the first 2 hours if you purchased something from one of their shops and there's no option to pay by card. Parking space is really tiny, not advisable to go here if you're claustrophobic. A total fail. There is an ATM but you'll be charged €4 for the tiniest amount. What's worse it's just next to Paceville where it smells vomit everywhere. Not going back again.

Lovely shopping mall, beautifully decorated and full of designer brands. Whoever said that the only place to eat here is McDonald's is all lies cos there's so many places to eat you'll be spoilt for choice. The same time it takes to go up to McDonald's is the same time it takes to go down to the eateries, including directly across. Anything you want, is there and it's a great place to chill though the teens in your life will very much love the Multimax centre above.

Is shopping complex was okay had a couple of souvenir shops if you drink it shops some close shops McDonald’s was quite good there but what I really liked was the eet well shop that was the best shop everything about it was awesome the food was amazing the prices were great the customer service was fantastic the complex itself I think is really big it goes the whole street it’s cleverly located right after all the nightclubs in the nightlife it’s open quite late there’s a movie theatre there as well so it’s okay I can’t recommend it but I can’t not recommend it it’s it is what it is

Thank you to Matthew for a wonderful walking tour today at 2pm. It was our last day in this beautiful country, and it was great to come away with some historical facts about Valletta and Malta. We accidentally bumped into the Prime Minister which was a nice added bonus!

Matthew is like a history teacher we wish we all had... Fun, insightful and informative.. please continue to do the good work in sharing about Malta to the rest of the world. We joined the Complete Valetta walking tour and Mdina Rabat tour on the same day and learnt lots!

Booked the 3hr tour of Valetta and had a fantastic time. Mario was very knowledgable and informative. I really enjoyed how he took the time to share his opinions (good or bad) on the history. It was clear that he has a deep love for Malta making the tour all the more enjoyable.

Julia was phenomenal. I learned so much about Maltese history and I thoroughly enjoyed the sites; especially knowing their histories

The manicured garden isn't the prettiest we have seen; but the views... the views and the views of surrounding Valletta skyline, the close proximity to the passing sea liners, and the luxury boats are to die for. As the other reviews have mentioned, if you do not have access to a car, it's not the easiest spot to get to. Nevertheless, it is worth it if you can.

This gardens are not to be missed if you are visiting Senglea. These gardens are at the Valletta end of the Senglea peninsula and there is a magnificent view of the Grand Harbour. You can relax near the small fountain.

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.

Nice views across the bay but worth visiting only if you are staying in the area of the 3 cities or better in Senglea, loads of history in this fortress.

Gardjola Gardens in Senglea's bastions offer spectacular views of the Grand Harbour The Gardjola Gardens are located in Senglea, perched on the bastion with fantastic panoramic views over Marsa, Valletta, Grand Harbour and Fort St. Angelo. The gardens were planned by Grandmaster De La Sengle in 1551 with a lovely guard tower built on the tip of the bastions. The guard tower, ‘Il-gardjola’, has various symbols sculpted on in such as an eye, an ear and the crane bird, representing guardianship and observance protecting the Maltese shores. The eye on the tower is a popular icon representing Malta, featured in many brochures about the Island. The gardens have palm trees and provide a spot to relax under the shade while enjoying the view.

Nice garden with great views. It’s a nice place to take pictures and rest when getting to know the 3 cities.

It's worth seeing, and then you can easily forget about it. The place itself is nice, the view is rather mediocre. The old town is often overshadowed by large cruise ships.

Alice Springs Restaurant & Cafe is a very popular establishment on Isla seafront. Serving a full range of food items including snacks. I took the traditional Maltese ftira served with tuna,olives,onions, capers and lettuce. Traditionally served with extra virgin olive oil concentrated tomato paste. Miriam was my server. Miriam is friendly with a lovely smile, hard working and professional. She worked the entire restaurant alone and was very efficient. My ftira costed 3.50 and my lager 2.00. In my opinion Alice Springs has one of the best and tastiest Ftira on the island. The restaurant is pet friendly and my dog enjoyed sharing it with me. The views of the harbour are outstanding also.

Beautiful, resturants fabulous

Very quiet and nice place you can find here flats with reasonable price. And everywhere is close.

I was born in Senglea it was my amazing childhood place it is an amazing experience to visit the water from for a snack and a beer. Also, great restaurants where you can eat at reasonable prices

Pleasant walk with options to stop for a drink and a bite to eat

This was probably one of the first places in Malta that I really fell in love with. The Three Cities area definitely has a charm all its own in a place that's full of charming areas.

Beautiful area!

The three cities were hands down one of the best things about this country. It’s like walking through a time gone by, and it was really awesome to see where and how Maltese people live. Visted them all today.

It's a lovely waterfront with various restaurants, cafés and bars. Unfortunately I noticed a lot of litter, broken pavements and noise pollution but all in all, it is a nice area. Would be nicer to maintain it properly 😜

Stroll attractive alleys and streets with genuine Maltese architecture but without thousands of tourists. View Valletta town with its yellow limestone commanding heights and castles from Fort St. Angelo. Frequent bars and restaurants without queues. A mixture of modern marinas and medieval military sights, that is Birgu. A short ferry trip from Valletta. Do visit.

One of of the best areas in Malta,lovely walk to the Dort St Angelo with stunning view of Valleta and elegant yatchs.

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

Absolutely beautiful and extremely romantic!! A perfect place for long walks, stunning photos, dining out and it is popular amongst the locals mainly which is a huge advantage!! Also, it is relatively clean in comparison to the rest of the island:-) Overall score: 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you're looking for a great place to take a walk, enjoy some good food, and take in some stunning views, then this location is an absolute must-visit! The area is steeped in history, and there's so much to explore and discover around every corner. The restaurants here are top-notch, offering delicious food and great service. And of course, the views are simply breathtaking - you can't help but feel awed by the beauty of it all. Whether you're here for lunch, dinner, or just a casual stroll, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended!

We visited this restaurant after finishing our trip to Vittoriosa. Amazing food and very kind ambient. We have had rabbit each with salad and chips on side - very big portion at affordable price as well as very high quality and tasty.

Very clean , nice staff and good food ❤️❤️

Jonathan the owner is a down to earth fella and his crew are none the less! Thank you Mani and the rest for making our time everytime we visited the coffee shop a pleasent one!! 🤗🤗. We shall see you again next year. Much love, Darren and Dean x

Absolutely value for money, amazing, wonderful! Everyone should try Ftyra with chicken and. bacon. Trust me.

Really amazing food, we had a delicious wrap and some great sandwiches. Highly recommended. Great value for money and friendly staff. 10/10

We were really surprised my this little informal place. Best lobster ravioli ever. Would definitely recommend their stews and pastas, inexpensive and good.

Lovely place with delicious food, placed in absolutely stunning Birgu old town. Great rabbit, pasta and tuna sandwich. Great service

We had a great evening at AKI, amazing Sushi, great desserts and wonderful atmosphere! We booked a table a few months out, having read reviews and having seen on a TV program. We weren’t disappointed, we have Sushi 3 different types including Harumaki of Salmon, Flamed Wagyu Roll & Carb Fotumaki Roll. All were excellent with our favourite being the Harumaki of Salmon. We also had a dessert each with Genmai Cha Creme Brulee fro my wife and Japanese Chocolate Forest Floor for myself. The whole experience was amazing, and a very reasonably priced at under 90€ for 2 persons including wine, Saki & water. We would definitely recommend, and will return plus we will probably try the new AKI London when we are next in London!

I had an amazing experience at Aki on 09/05/2025! We had to push back our reservation time many times due to our transportation not knowing where the restraunt was located in Valletta but the booking personnel was very understanding and kind. We were greeted by a lovely woman at the entrance who showed us to our seats. They had a beautiful bar and dining area, which provided a wonderful ambience. Although the dining area was dark, it provided an fantastic vibe that was Instagram worthy! The restraunt and food on a whole show cased a Japanese inspired fine dining experience. Once seated we were then served by a fabulous waiter/host called Asanka. He was very professional, funny and kind. He was also very patient with us when he explained and described the different food and drinks on the menu. I dined with my sister and a friend and we can all agree that Asanka made our experience at Aki a night to remember! The food was out of this world and the drinks were divine. Unfortunately, I dont remember the names of dishes we ate (photos below). But, if I ever return to Malta and dine at Aki again, I hope Asanka will be there to provide another 10/10 experience.

We were really looking forward to dining at Aki, but unfortunately the experience didn’t live up to expectations. Ambience: The setting felt more like a nightclub than a restaurant — loud music, dim lighting, and an atmosphere that made conversation almost impossible. We could barely hear each other to order, let alone enjoy a relaxed meal. The first table offered was uncomfortably close to a wall; we asked to move, and later noticed several other couples declined that same spot as well. Drinks: • Sushi Cocktail – Visually interesting but only average in taste. The garnish of seaweed dots looked artistic but didn’t add much flavor. The creamy top was too thick, and the liquid base too thin and bland, making the overall balance off. Starters: • Bluefin Tuna Tartare (€14.90) – Nicely presented with kimchi pearls and nori wafers, but the flavors didn’t quite come together as the lea shoots overpowered the taste of the tuna which was unfortunate! Pleasant but forgettable. • Sakura Blossom Noboshi Prawn Tempura (€11.90) – Beautifully plated and vibrant red prawns with daikon and ginger oroshi. The prawns were large and well-cooked, but the dish was more “good” than “great.” Sushi: • Volcano Sushi (€13.90) – The prawn tempura filling was tasty, but the presentation was odd. The rolls were cut and stacked sideways with sauce drizzled over, which caused some pieces to stick together. Again, decent but not remarkable. • Flamed Wagyu (€14.90) – Disappointing. The wagyu flavor was barely noticeable, and the dish lacked the richness we expected from the description. Main: • Prawn Gohan (€15.50) – The highlight of the meal. The rice was flavorful with just the right amount of spice, and the prawns were juicy and well-cooked. Service: Service was polite but inconsistent — staff were friendly when available, but it was sometimes difficult to get their attention. Overall: While a few dishes showed promise, the overpowering music and nightclub-style atmosphere made it a poor choice for anyone wanting to enjoy a relaxed dinner and conversation. Aki might work as a trendy spot for drinks or a quick bite, but it’s not ideal for a comfortable dining experience.

Everything was perfect! Very nice indian waitress, fast service, delicious food, good selection of japaneese fusion! The one thing that could improve the experience for us was to reduce the music 2-3 notches.

It was a delight. Chefs take pride in what they serve, waiters attention is excellent, the overall vibe is great. Rishabh was great, I really appreciated his mannerism. As we had ordered the tasting menu we had a lot of dishes, each distinct, with unique flavours, and just quality ingredients. He never rushed us, on the contrary, he asked if he should wait a bit for the next dish, which we really did. He understands his customers. Definitely recommend Aki! And try their wild cocktails too!

My expectations were probably too high 😊 For starters, I tried bao buns, they were excellent.👏👏 The next dish was rice vegetable, nothing special, at times I found the dish very dry. I refused the rice with wagyu, because the pieces of meat, not all of them, were tough, I doubt it was wagyu meat.😢 Maki nigiri, tuna excellent,😍 rice excellent,😍 salmon not the right temperature. In order to give a true rating, I would have to try something else from their menu. 😊

Food: some are a hit, some are a miss. Here are some recommendations from what Ive had: tuna tartare, tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi, foie gras sashimi, creme brulee. These were OK, but nothing more: wagyu sashimi, oysters, rock shrimp tempura. The big miss: chicken tacos. How disappointing! So extremely bland! Overall food rating: 7/10. Some things were nice, some were OK, some were bad. At an upscale Michelin recommended restaurant there should not be anything on the menu that is less than good! Especially for the prices of some of the dishes. Service: Our waiter was very kind, refilled our glasses without being prompted, generally a smiley dude. After asking how the food was and telling him that the taco was very disappointing, he offered us a free creme brulee on the house. He singlehandedly made our dining experience so much better! Shout out to Amara. However, not all positives in the "service" section. Service was generally a bit slow, but to be expected with a full house. Overall service rating: 9/10. Amara is a cool guy who just wants to help where he can. It is not his fault some of the food was mediocre. Atmosphere: considering the style and vibe of this restaurant (which is very nice), I would say this is an upscale dining place where you expect to see people in nothing less than a nice shirt - so why does it feel like a club? Music is blasting, having to shout at the table to hear each other. The tables are very close together to fit more guests, so neighbouring conversations can be heard, which contributes to the need for shouting across the table so your dining partner will hear you. Atmosphere overall rating: 5/10. Looks like a nice restaurant, but it is way too crowded and the DJ blasting club music is just unnecessary and offputting. Overall restaurant rating: I would love to give this place 4/5 as I tried so hard to love it, but too many items on the menu that I have tried are just not "amazing". And for these prices, it SHOULD be amazing. The service, especially our waiter Amara was the highlight of the night. I feel very harsh giving it 3/5, but there are many things that could be improved on. See below. How to improve: - chefs, please taste your food. If it is less than "good", do not serve it. - turn down the music! Maybe play some softer songs that actually fit the style and vibe of the place. - get rid of some tables to create space. Less tables = more exclusivity, more control over the food being served, as there will be less load in the kitchen, therefore more happy customers. You are a michelin guide recommended restaurant, so act like it.

From start to finish, this was a refined and warm dining experience. The staff was outstanding — friendly, knowledgeable, and truly attentive. Dishes were well thought out, with a clear focus on high-quality ingredients. While prices are on the higher end for Malta, the value and execution justify the cost. We tried both fish and meat, and while the fish was good, the meat dishes clearly stood out — that’s where the kitchen shines. Highly recommended for a special dinner.

Azar is a fantastic place for dinner if you’re looking for a memorable dining experience. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and the food is simply outstanding. If I had to point out one thing, it would be the ambiance. It doesn’t quite match the incredible level of the food, which is honestly so good it deserves a setting that feels just as refined. Overall, though, I highly recommend Azar for the amazing flavors and excellent service

The best meal & service we’ve had in Malta. In fact the highlight of our trip so far. The Maitre D was so knowledgeable and the service was flawless. The tortellini, brisket, wreckfish with sides of gratin potatoes & butternut squash were sublime. The chocolate salted caramel tart & creme brûlée with prickly pear were special. Just go, you won’t regret it.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Azar, and it was an experience to remember —a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. The ambiance set the tone for what turned out to be a truly lovely evening. The service was outstanding; the staff were not only professional but also incredibly thoughtful, with a perfect balance of attentiveness and subtlety.

Small restaurant with a fantastic vibe which is located in a boutique hotel. The menu was explained to us in detail by the waiter on arrival, who said that it changes daily depending on what is found fresh that day / week. We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, though as it got a little busier later on, we were left waiting a long time to collect and pay for the bill. The meat portion for the brisket was really quite small and very fatty (fat portion hidden under the overlap of each piece), so at least half of the already small portion was slimy fat. All in all, a good meal.

Azar delivers at a level that feels Michelin-worthy, with food that borders on art and service that is both warm and polished. The qarabaghli mimli was a standout masterpiece, and both the chicken and beef were cooked to perfection.

One of the best restaurants i have ever been. Very friendly staff and the food was delicious.
