Aaron's Kitchen

We had walked past this restaurant many times in our week in Malta and it was always full! We decided to see what everyone was experiencing by making an online booking. We requested an outdoor table when we arrived and one was available - nice atmosphere outside and they had patio heaters to offset the cool evening in November. Nice varied menu plus many specials for the day made it a challenge to decide! In the end we ordered the local sharing platter to start. This was a good choice and we were able to try a few different items which we wouldn’t normally have tried eg corned beef and liver wrapped in bacon. For our main course I had the suckling pig - this was beautifully cooked and so tasty. My wife had the large prawns which were great too though she felt the accompanying risotto was too spicy. Too full for desert! Excellent and attentive service from the staff. Overall a great meal and can see why it was always full!

Great meal and service. 100% book a head and reserve a table very popular restaurant. We shared the rabbit patties, gorgeous as starter. I had the pork ribs my wife had the duck breast. Both cooked to perfection. The wine selected by our waiter very good as our 1st choice was out of stock.

Very surprised this got a recommendation from Michelin, specially when comparing to - actual - recommended places like Casa Ellul which is way superior in service interior and food (deserving the recommendation). I need to start with the state of the toilet (disgusting!!!). After we paid I needed to go to the bathroom, as the staff was clearly waiting for us to leave (all were seating at the back of the restaurant), one noticed and rushed to go down to the bathroom right before I did. All to turn the lights back on because they assumed nobody else was going to go there anymore (wow already there can’t believe clients are still in the restaurant and you’re already shutting off the bathroom…). But not only was it awkward having a man wait for me in a tight space outside of the bathroom door (I’m a woman) but the worst was inside. The floor of the toilet seat was surrounded by dry and wet papers and the trash to its side was full of papers overflowing. I couldn’t step close to the toilet without stepping on the papers. As a matter of fact, stepping out of the tiny place I even brought one of those gross wet papers on my shoe… the sink was disguting too, looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in forever… Had I gone to the bathroom before eating I would’ve left. As they say: dirty bathroom, dirty kitchen. Same standards apply (I guess the Michelin reviewer was drunk…). Here I must say, the beef Wellington was nice. But we also ordered two steaks that were tasteless, dry and chewy. The little vegetable pot with no flavor or salt on the side of every dish is just sad… take it out of the dishes because it really diminishes the appearance of it. The dessert (a chocolate pecan pie) well you can tell when something is not fresh or from the day, even the crust looked from 2 days ago, and tasted just the same. We also asked for the apple crumble and immediately got a “no we don’t have that now”, all because it was 10:30pm and all the kitchen staff was sitting at the back of the restaurant and the crumble required “8 min of waiting (cooking in the oven I assume)” which they obviously couldn’t do since they were all chilling out of the kitchen. Not very acceptable standards… Another strange thing is we asked what brand of still water they had (Evian, acqua Panna etc), the waitress had no idea… she had to go look and came back saying it’s from Italy.. ok but not the question. Anyways service was really mid. Not the quality you expect from a Michelin recommended restaurant. Please train your staff in hospitality!! Anyways, definitely not recommending this place. And will for sure be mindful of future Michelin recommendations whose Google reviews are below 4,7-4,8. This was unacceptable for those standards.

Had high expectations for a Michelin recommended restaurant. But the food was nothing special, especially for the price. I ordered a lamb dish and my partner had duck. Both were unevenly cooked with parts more like medium well when we asked for rarer meat. The side vegetables were poor as they had no flavour. The potatoes were very nice though. Overall, I felt that can get better food for less money and not Michelin recommended back in the UK.

We walked in with no reservation both times and we were very lucky they kindly gave us a table Absolutely the best in Valletta The place is very cozy, beautiful vibes, service was amazing and the food was very delicious, everything we ordered was perfect, it was served hot, very well seasoned and on time Would definitely recommend it

I visited Aaron’s Kitchen with my family and we had an absolutely wonderful time. I’ve always thought that Michelin-recognized restaurants come with very high prices, but here the menu is surprisingly reasonable, with “normal” prices for truly outstanding food. The dishes were excellent – beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and simply delicious. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it perfect for both a family outing and a special evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy top-quality food without the intimidating price tag often associated with fine dining.

Our first dinner in Valetta. We didn’t have a booking but we were there early enough to get a table inside. It was very warm outside so we were glad they had a spare table inside. So, yes best to book in advance so you can enjoy their food. I ordered the duck as my main & it was delicious. My husband ordered from their specials list & ordered the fish. I had a bite & that was great as well. There were complimentary bread and my meal came with potatoes so we were stuffed.

I had the pleasure of dining at Aaron’s Kitchen in Malta and was absolutely delighted with the entire experience. The food was outstanding—beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with great care and quality ingredients. Every dish we tried was delicious and memorable. What made the evening even more special was the wonderful staff. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their warmth and professionalism added a lot to the overall experience. Aaron’s Kitchen is truly a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a relaxed, welcoming setting. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended!!
