A Foodie's Dream. A culinary journey on the Valletta Waterfront! 🤤

Summer may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean that the fun should stop. We went on a foodie tour around the Valletta Waterfront and we think that this place is the perfect spot for any day, any season! With a beautiful view of the Grand Harbour and the fact that cars do not pass by you while you’re eating, this place may be just the perfect spot to wind down and have a good time. 😌

It’s all for the ‘gram

The Valletta Waterfront is probably one of the most insta-worthy spots on the island. Having undergone some great improvements in 2020, it is now looking better than ever. Although the space was renovated, its character and heritage still remain - it still gives an homage to the history of the place as a trading port back in the 1500s. ⚔️


The Valletta Waterfront is gorgeous at any time of day.

Family dinner, romantic date night, or a fun night out with friends? Doesn’t matter!

There’s no room for boredom at the Valletta Waterfront. The weekends shine with street entertainment, including appearances from children’s characters so your kiddos can have fun too. There’s plenty of parking available, but you can also skip the traffic by catching the ferry from Sliema or Vittoriosa from Malta, or even the fast ferry from Gozo! ⛴️



One of the best things about this place is that they take COVID-19 super seriously. Measures are respected, there are no large crowds, and you can either sit outdoors with plenty of fresh air or indoors with loads of space and beautiful interiors. 🥂
