🍽 Maltese cafe📍 Republic Street🇲🇹 Valletta
Why eat here
A Valletta institution on the main pedestrian street, serving coffee, cakes and light Maltese plates beneath a marble counter that has barely changed in decades.
Good to know
Terrace tables on Republic Street are the best for people watching and cost slightly more, so go mid-morning to get one.
More restaurants in Valletta
Legligin
A narrow townhouse wine bar with several hundred bottles, best used for grazing across a few plates rather than committing to one heavy course.
Valletta Pastizzeria
A doorway counter near the Old Mint Street market selling pastizzi straight from the oven, which is how most of Malta actually eats breakfast.
