This entry was posted in RESTAURANT BLOG on Octoby Alex.Our menu is subject to change and should only be used as an indication of the kind of food and pricing we offer. Now where did I put those morning after pills tongue emoticon If moreover, like us, you are able to enjoy everything and anything, and to soak in the diversity of an eclectic evening out, then Valletta will excel.

Valletta has become without a doubt the best location for a fun pub crawl and truly has something for everyone. The end of our lunch marked the beginning of a long evening and night of drinking and delicious debauchery, until the early hours in the morning and in no less than 5 different bars and clubs. So although this casual diner might not become a destination restaurant in its own right for us, it would certainly be one we would gladly return to for a light meal. So that too is an important element one has to keep in mind, when substituting a finer diner with a very informal one. However I very much recall that the total amount came to only to a fraction of what we would have paid in a smart restaurant. Unfortunately I really seem to have misplaced the bill. I have absolutely nothing against young, skimpily dressed foreigners who keep their mouth shut while eating. The place was virtually exclusively frequented by tourists, but that is to be expected in such circumstances and has its own advantages, which can be very pleasing to the eye and also easy on the ear. Naturally the location is just excellent, being situated right in the heart of Valletta, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of our stylish capital. However I must admit that some of the dishes, and certainly the pastas, could have matched even what is served in good restaurants. So all in all, we very satisfied with the quality of the food, keeping in mind that this is a very casual diner. Also a spinach and tuna pie which was fine. Their penne al salmone was also very pleasing. We had a variety of dishes including a more than acceptable duck breast salad and various pasta dishes, including wild mushroom ravioli and asparagus fagottini, which were both lovely. I was very familiar with both and nobody was disappointed, as both make very pleasant and easy drinking. We went for Australian all round this time, and had Jacob’s Creek Semillon Chardonnay white and Jacob’s Creek Shiraz Cabernet red. Of course one has to make some concessions based upon the type of venue, and should expect a very casual style of service in this type of place.Īlso as may be expected in this type of establishment, the menu was quite vast, but at least their wine list too was rather varied and even a bit beyond expectation. Service was at times a bit sketchy, but still very much on the acceptable side.

The staff were bubbly and friendly and nice, definitely not reserved in any way.

So although we were initially after something rather smart, we settled for a much more casual eatery, just next to St John’s Cathedral.

I had recently remarked how practical it was to see that more and more establishments were remaining open throughout the afternoon, including proper restaurants, around Malta, so I was under the false impression that Valletta would be full of such venues. Even some of those which actually remained open, informed us that their kitchen closes until later on in the evening. Kitchens were all closing and we had much difficulty finding a place with continuous service, much as this sounds unlikely. But in spite of the capital being bustling and many establishments being open, it proved very hard to find one which would accommodate us at that time. Five of us met up in Valletta at 15:00 and were in search of a late lunch.
