Galea’s Kitchen

At the top of Valletta’s Merchant Street, Galea’s Kitchen proudly serves a variety of fusion dishes with a prominent nod to Maltese and Mediterranean cuisine. A street-scape of timeless architecture forms a beautiful backdrop to a menu that’s as creative as it is comforting with a stylish interior bar providing an array of expertly mixed cocktails, international beers and wines, a perfect complement to the restaurant’s vibrant dishes. Warm, inviting, and full of charm, this family run eatery captures the essence of modern dining in the heart of the capital.

Varied starters set the tone beautifully. From fresh mussels in white wine to a traditional Maltese antipasto platter with goat’s cheese, salamis, and Bigilla, garnished with sundried tomatoes. The fried local cheese paired with a fig and tomato chutney is definitely recommended as is the calamari with garlic and lemon mayo that delivers a zesty kick. Main courses of homemade burgers, salads and crunchy pizza come with a variety of lavish toppings. Fresh pasta dishes include a Paccheri Ragu with Maltese sausage and cheese, totally recommended! Other main courses include a daily catch of seafood, beef olives and traditional rabbit stew. A great option is the meal deal of crunchy focaccia followed by Black Angus tagliata with optional sauces. Specials rotate often and fresh desserts are available on a daily basis. Fingers crossed you get lucky and try the fantastic Tiramisu.
