59 Republic

The restaurant is in a great spot with open views. We were a drop-in and very happy to have found a table for an early dinner. We love the candy-bar branding. The staff tried their best to make our dinner comfortable, there were some things missing from the menu, and tge chef sent over an extra dessert. Definitely try the prawn tacos, the scallops, the pumpkin ravioli. The lamb rack was also very good. I had the Wellington, but regret not having ordered the risotto. Slow on refilling drinks (water, wine).

We went to the restaurant on October 29 and were very disappointed especially with the food. The waiter who was serving us obviously had a cold. I ordered a mojito which was extremely sour and I couldn’t drink it. I asked for a glass of red wine which was served in a champagne glass (see picture). The next glass of the same wine was brought to me in completely different, this time appropriate, wine glass. Strange. First course - fish tacos were very tasty. For second course I had absolutely overcooked meet (see picture) which I could not finish as it was disgusting. As side dish I had baby potatoes which I also couldn’t eat because it was extremely hard and oily (see picture). My wife had salmon wellington, she couldn’t finish it because it was very greasy. My mojito, that I didn’t drink and meat and potatoes that I couldn’t eat were excluded from the bill. Manager came to our table and apologized. We paid for the rest (drinks, first course and wife’s dish). After dinner we had problems with our stomachs and my wife couldn’t even fall asleep. Spoilt evening and big disappointment. Maybe it was just us who was so unlucky…

Booked solo for NYE. Had the set menu. The organisation wasn’t great, the turnover between 1st and 2nd sitting was not great, the food in the appetisers was lovely, particularly the arancini. The prawn pasta - the pasta was overcooked but the prawns were delicious and sweet. The beef wellington was beautiful and almost made the experience €150 worth. The dessert however “sticky toffee”… the cake was dry and overcooked and the “truffle” was not a nice texture. I wouldn’t recommend booking this place for an event and wouldn’t return.

Had a lovely evening, with great food and wine. We ordered several starters and had them as sharing plates. All the food was amazing, fresh and really tasty. Service was great and I would love to come back.

Dining at 59 Republic was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent — refined, flavorful, and beautifully presented, just as you'd expect from a Michelin-rated restaurant. The cocktails were very good as well. The staff was outstanding: attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. They took great care to ensure we felt comfortable and well looked after throughout the evening. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but absolutely worth it for the quality of food, service, and overall experience. If you're in Valletta and looking for a special dinner spot, this place should be at the top of your list.

The food at this place is so delicious! Great service, wonderful ambience - bang in the city. I can't wait to be back for another meal, highly recommend.

By far my favorite restaurant in Valletta. Incredible food- truly exquisite and the same standard each time you go. Design is glorious! Try and get a table outside if it’s good weather but don’t worry, the vibe inside is excellent too.

Atmosphere: Located in the center of Valletta with a beautiful outdoor area right in the popular and lively city center, this restaurant offers a pleasant, peaceful atmosphere where you can relax, thanks to its elegant interior design and the old sandstone buildings outside. Service: Very friendly, high-quality, and attentive service from the nice, attentive staff who leave nothing to be desired. Food: I have rarely eaten such good beef tartare, and our main course was also excellent. Prepared to perfection, beautifully presented, and perfect in taste. Value for money: The food seems very expensive, but considering that you now pay up to EUR 20 for a pizza and the impeccable quality and the star rating that this restaurant has had for more than 5 years, the prices are absolutely justified – especially given the high quality on offer. Conclusion: Malta offers a variety of restaurants in the Michelin Guide, and a visit to these — especially here at 59 Republic — is definitely highly recommended! Thank you for making our holiday-roundup on our last evening here perfect Our next vacation is already booked, and we will definitely enjoy another perfect culinary evening here.
