one80 St. Christopher Str. Valletta

Six years after their first restaurant was opened, one80 comes home to the island’s capital city. The one80 name was originally inspired by the view of the majestic Grand Harbour from the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta, so it is only right that their city-centre outlet is where they’re truly refining the one80 concept. Open day and night, one80 ‘Tal-Belt’ subtly shifts to match the mood; its warm-neutral interiors are the perfect setting for laidback lunches, elevated casual evenings and jubilant celebratory dinners. A private room downstairs is also available for business lunches and events. Inspired by the beauty of Valletta, local art prevails throughout the restaurant, both on the plate and the walls. Local artist Darren Tanti’s hand-painted portraits provide a glimpse into the lives of contemporary Maltese society, while the green walls reflect the city’s traditional Maltese balconies. You may even note the mix of classical and modern Maltese and Italian songs filling the room as you dine.

They’re combining all the right ingredients to develop a fresh concept for their most intimate restaurant yet. A rustic menu highlights the freshness and flavour of their dishes, inspired by Mediterranean staples with Asian and Middle Eastern influences. The result? A colourful explosion of flavour with every bite. For drinks, browse through their wine library to find your perfect pairing.
