Nenu The Artisan Baker Valletta

Truly the Maltese ambience in full effect, especially when the entertainers are there. Food was good and definitely not as expensive as other places. The turkey dish was innovative but a bit dry (not as good as the lamb shank) and the pizza’s crust was delicious. Service was subpar, lacking knowledge of dishes whenever we asked questions and sometimes forgetting us since we were in a separate room kind of. Nevertheless, I’ll visit again for sure.

Nenu The Artisan Baker in Valletta is a fantastic place to experience truly traditional Maltese cuisine. The food is authentic, full of local flavours, and the portions are very generous—you definitely won’t leave hungry. The staff are friendly and welcoming, adding to the relaxed and homely atmosphere. It’s a perfect spot if you want to taste real Maltese food in a setting that feels genuine and unpretentious. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Valletta and looking for a true local dining experience.

Probably the best spot for local dishes in Valetta. We had some slow cooked rabbit and braised horse meat. Simply excellent. I enjoyed the interior design of the restaurant. The place is highly recommended.

Amazingly generous serving sizes, friendly service, and live music. The pork knuckle and snails (very sweet) were both enough to share between 2-3 people. The rabbit ravioli was super dense/rich, and we found the pasta wrapper very thick and doughy. Would recommend booking well in advance by email, as there are liens at night, and they don’t seem to answer the phone.

I really enjoyed the place—no outdoor tables, but very authentic indoors. The staff were very polite and friendly. The fish soup was relatively standard, perhaps a bit too heavy on the rice, carrots, and potatoes, and not enough fish but it had a very pleasant taste. The rabbit stew was good, with many different pieces of meat, a side of potatoes, and grilled vegetables. Prices are fair, and overall it was a positive experience.

The restaurant's space is very pleasant, and a key reason we chose to eat there was to try the rabbit. Unfortunately, it was not available during our evening visit, so we ordered something else. We were so determined to try the rabbit that we returned the next day, and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed everything we ate. Of the two desserts we tried, the traditional Maltese sinizza and the bread pudding, we liked the former much more. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was lovely, so it is definitely worth a visit.

Amazing local experience! Portions are really big! We had grilled aubergine for starter, octopus and traditional rabbit. Everything was very very delicious!! Better to make a reservation before coming.

A great option for trying typical Maltese dishes, not to mention the place itself, which tells a bit about the history and tradition of the restaurant. It's important to make a reservation in advance; I couldn't get a table that day, but they have another location in Mgar that I was able to visit on another occasion.
