ION Harbour by Simon Rogan
Contemporary, Mediterranean Cuisine · ★★ Michelin
€€€€
Located on the seafront, on the fourth floor of the exclusive Iniala Harbour House, ION Harbour offers warm, precise service led by a youthful team, breathtaking views and truly exceptional cuisine. Chef Simon Rogan, holder of three Michelin stars at his Lake District restaurant L’Enclume in the UK, is behind the concept, while resident chef Christian Cali executes a complex and creative menu. The cuisine follows Rogan’s celebrated farm-to-table philosophy, using produce grown, reared or caught in the Maltese Islands whenever possible. The restaurant offers one tasting menu available at both l

Under Grain

Housed within the stylish Rosselli Hotel, on one of Valletta’s most elegant streets, Under Grain welcomes guests into a setting as sophisticated as its cuisine. The restaurant occupies the building’s historic lower level, where diners pass by the kitchen before entering a dining room crowned by a vaulted stone ceiling. Inspired by the tailor shops that once lined Merchant Street, the concept is woven throughout, from sewing-pattern menus to displays of garments, and even the pincushion used to present the bill. The offering is fully à la carte, with the option for guests to create their own ta

Noni

In 2017, chef Jonathan Brincat transformed a centuries-old house into a restaurant, naming it after his own nickname: Noni. A small staircase takes you down to the main dining room, set beneath a stone barrel-vaulted ceiling. Guests can choose between a full tasting menu or a shorter version. Either way, the experience offers a vivid, personal journey through the flavours of Malta: seasonal, mostly local ingredients, flanked by a menu map that pinpoints the locations of their suppliers, and traditional dishes reworked with a creative, contemporary slant. A standout example is their modern take

Grain Street

€€
On Merchant Street, the main pedestrian thoroughfare in the city centre and home to a plethora of bars and eateries, Grain Street is a modern bistro with a lovely alfresco section and a cosy, pleasant interior. The accent is on simple, unfussy Mediterranean fare. Be sure to try the corn-fed chicken with a hazelnut crust, served with preserved lemons, courgettes and basil. The establishment, part of the Rosselli – AX Privilege hotel, is open in the mornings for breakfast.

Located in the heart of the historic centre, just steps from the iconic St. John’s Cathedral, this establishment is a genuine landmark of Valletta’s dining scene. Founded in the early 1900s as a Sicilian restaurant and pastry shop, it has preserved its period interior, along with a devotion to honest, generous cooking. Some dishes are long-standing favourites, like the highly recommended Fenek Moqli, rabbit braised in a red wine sauce with a delightful sweet-and-sour finish, while others change with the seasons and the availability of local ingredients. The menu is chalked up on a blackboard,

The lavish rooftop restaurant on the eleventh floor of the 1926 Le Soleil Hotel draws inspiration from the carriages of the Orient Express, creating an atmosphere that is both glamorous and steeped in history. In the warmer months, guests can also enjoy a panoramic terrace overlooking the city. In the open kitchen, chefs Andrew Borg and David Tanti craft a concise yet compelling selection of dishes, blending creativity with an international flair. While the menu may appear limited, the quality is anything but. Among the most popular dishes are the cured scallops with kombu, fennel and fresh yu

Tucked away in one of Sliema’s quiet side streets, this small restaurant has become something of a beacon for fine dining in Malta. The kitchen is led by talented young chef Hiram Cassar, a former sous chef with valuable international experience under his belt. The menu is concise and well-structured, featuring creative dishes that aim for balance and elegance and composed around a small number of cherry-picked ingredients. Stand-out dishes include a house-made agnolotti pecorino with delica pumpkin, pine nuts and mostarda di Cremona, as well as seabass escalope with leeks, preserved lemon, ca

Tucked away at the tip of the small town of Vittoriosa and abutting the walls of Fort St. Angelo, Maltese-Australian chef-owner Adrian Hili has been at the helm here for over ten years. His cooking celebrates Mediterranean, Italian and Maltese traditions: the sole, for instance, is perfectly baked in a wood-fired oven and served with Castelluccio lentils from Italy, jazzed up with samphire, and paired with a small pan of homemade fries. Due to ongoing restoration work, the entrance is currently to the rear of the building (not particularly attractive), but once inside the elegant decor and alf
