Angela's Valletta — Restaurant in Valletta

A Hidden Maltese Gem in Valletta It was time to stop wandering the back streets of Valetta and find an off-the-tourist-track place for lunch. As soon as we spoke the words, we saw Angela’s. One door from the corner of Triq San Gwann and Old Bakery Street, we looked at the menu outside and saw they were serving breakfast. The cozy restaurant is in a beautifully restored building of stone and wood. Vintage photos of Valetta cover the walls. Maltese lace hangs in the windows. A coffee/cocktail bar occupies a corner. A few tables are dotted about the room. Classic jazz played softly in the background. We knew we had selected the right place. Our server brought lunch menus but quickly exchanged them when we asked for breakfast. We had the kind of server you hope for. Friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. We chatted with him about our home – Gozo – and his home – Nepal. I had the full English breakfast, and my companion had an Eggs Benedict Ftira. Both were generous portions, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The eggs were exceptional, especially the flawless poached eggs on the Benedict. My toast was Maltese bread, not the usual white loaf. We ate every bite and plan to return for lunch or dinner soon. Although we had only one experience at Angela’s, it was apparent the food, service, and atmosphere are always top-notch. We give Angela’s our highest Restaurant Scout recommendation. Be sure to stop in next time you are off the beaten path in...

If you’re looking to eat local dishes, this is the place to go. Make sure to reserve from before hand as the restaurant is quite small, which I liked since the atmosphere was very warm and cozy. The food was impeccable, although I must say that unless you have a wide palate, do not go if you are a picky eater!

As a local, I can safely say that their food tastes exactly like grandma’s on a sunny Sunday afternoon, only better. The staff was super friendly, all locals, we ended up chatting quite a bit before we left. I also loved that they don’t have a wide variety of options on their menu.

We ordered the Aljotta (fish soup) and rabbit spaghetti for starters, then the octopus and horse meat stew as mains. Everything was perfect, portions were right enough so that we were just about full, with room for dessert. They also gave us complimentary bread which went perfectly with the stew and spaghetti sauce.

The second time we went, we wanted to try different dishes, and got the Maltese pasta with sausage, sundried tomatoes and Maltese gbejna (my favourite dish) and we tried one of their specials, the octopus pasta which was just perfect. As a main we took the Rabbit and horse meat stew again.

Will definitely be...

To celebrate my 💯 day journey so far I decided to go all in Maltese restaurant and I went to Angela’s. A very small but genuine restaurant in the old town of Valletta. When I don’t know the food culture I almost always let the staff decide what I’m going to order. In this case I was served a traditional fried bread with sardines, garlic and sun dried tomatoes as a starter and a second platter of pasta with traditional Maltese sausage sauce . And for the main course the slow cooked rabbit stew with potatoes and fried vegetables. And to that a dry local white wine! And for the finale a cactus liquor.

The fried bread I will do again it was amazing. The pasta was really good and a little special with the sausage spiced with a lot of salvia. The Rabbit stew was very well cooked and tender. Overall I liked the food and everything was very well cocked and the rabbit was 10 times better than the rabbit I was served in Greece. I really liked the restaurant it’s small with only around 20 seats and they take pride in their menu. Ohh the wine it was amazing ! I can recommend this place if you want a small secluded and genuine...
