Cockney’s Valletta Restaurant

The food at this place is amazing! 🥰 We ordered: 1. Slow-cooked octopus, 2. Seafood linguine, 3. Two fresh oysters, and 4. Trio mushroom risotto. Everything was delicious and nicely presented! The atmosphere is great, with cozy seating, a lovely view, and a friendly server. Come and give it a try!

This is MUST!!! I’ve been to a lot of restaurants and bars in Malta but this is one of the best if not the best! Great service . Super nice and welcoming waiters who would even give you blankets when it’s a bit chilly at night without even having to ask ! Binita, Bradley, Stefan or Fabian are so kind and sweet ! I have felt so welcomed and loved. I’m overwhelmed! And the food and drinks are simply amazing! Even the owner Charles would take care of me and we’ve had a drink! The fish is so fresh and tasty! All my respect goes to the chef cook! I’ve recommend it to a lot of friends and guests. Also when I would see people standing in front of it I told them to go in because it’s so really that good! The restaurant has a long family tradition and is very charming. The atmosphere is great. Like the whole vibe and the view of the harbor! From the bottom of my heart thank you ! I will be back 🍾🙏❤️

We stumbled upon this gem while wandering around Valletta looking for a seafood spot, and we definitely got lucky. The location is fantastic, with a beautiful view of the sea which gives an amazing summer vibe. The staff were very friendly and gave excellent recommendations. Every dish we tried was incredible, clearly made with fresh ingredients. We started with the oysters and octopus carpaccio, and for mains, the seafood linguini and crab risotto, everything was absolutely delicious 🦐

The view was fantastic which created a really lovely atmosphere to close off a lovely day in Valletta. The Rabbit was very tasty and the risotto was wonderful too. The food defeated us but the waiters were kind enough to give us goody bags with the remains that we had later.

As you disembark from the ferry the first restaurant you see is Cockney’s. It’s owned by a Maltese couple in their early eighties who we had the pleasure of being introduced to by the engaging and entertaining Bradley, one of the Indian waiters. The restaurant has both indoor and al fresco dining with views overlooking the sea. Spectacular setting for eating spectacular food. We both had calamari to start which was like a main meal (portion size was huge) could have shared one. Then I chose the dish of the day which was king prawn pasta, a mountain of spaghetti that was actually too much so I couldn’t finish. The prawns were fresh and delicious. Chris had the 4 mushroom risotto which he said was rich and filling.. again very generous portions. Bradley was a very good waiter, he was funny and engaging. He is a very talented waiter, I feel he should be in management. We had after dinner drinks at the bar area just up from the restaurant also owned by the same people. Here we met another engaging man by the name of Stefan. We have since returned to this bar several times now and will continue to do so before we return to Blighty on Saturday. The only thing I’d change is the name, I’d prefer to have the Maltese 🇲🇹 influence vs another reminder of England..we loved the food and people of Cockneys. Thank you team!

Amazing food and huge portions. Our waiter Bradley was absolutely lovely and made us laugh all night. If we had longer in Malta we would definitely be returning! We had the crab risotto and the seafood pasta and they were both so tasty but too big to finish

好吃！！信我！！This restaurant is very tasty and highly recommended. We ordered a seafood spaghetti this time and I can say that it was the best seafood spaghetti I've ever had, the seafood was very fresh and of good quality. The pasta was covered in sauce and very satisfying. And the portions were large, with two of us girls sharing a pasta dish. There was also an order of squid , which was also very fresh, and the complimentary roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables had a unique flavour. My friend, who is not a big fan of vegetables, actually finished them all this time, which was very impressive. The last thing is that the whole shop is located next to the coast, the breeze feels very pleasant, the waiter and waitress ( Binita, Igor, Bradley) are very friendly and it feels like your friends are catching up with you, giving you a very warm feeling. I hope to have the opportunity to eat there again next time.

I honestly didn’t enjoy this restaurant at all. We ordered the seafood platter, but it was mostly octopus. The shrimps were not properly cleaned and still had the intestine. While the view is nice, I’m sure there are other places where you can get better food at a more reasonable price.
