Fodor's Expert Review Malata

This shady terrace on the capital's main square is the perfect location for a lazy lunch or dinner. The well-presented menu of pastas and grilled meats and fish are Maltese standards and the friendly and efficient service adds to the location's overall appeal. Close to the parliament building and law courts, the air-conditioned vaulted stone interior is a favored lunch spot for business clientele. Two evenings a week, the restaurant hosts live jazz, attracting enthusiastic aficionados from across the island.
