Where to Eat, Stay, and Play in Valletta, Malta's Eccentric Capital | Condé Nast Traveler

"Situated near the baroque Manoel Theatre and overseen by chef Steve Scicluna (formerly of London’s Clove Club), this restaurant feels suitably dramatic: bright yellow banquettes against moody dark walls set the tone for a menu that starts with canapés such as balls of gold-dusted fried dough with bursts of langoustine and finishes with desserts like a chocolate and banana mille‑feuille served with a scoop of parsley ice cream. Hotelier Matthew Ellul handles the wine pairing — ask to try some of the island’s improving wines." - Rick Jordan

"In front of the Basilica of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, the modern and elegant rooms of this restaurant reflect a cuisine with the same characteristics: a focus on the quality of the ingredients in contemporary and refined presentations. The dishes contain various references to typical Maltese products but are also the result of techniques learned by the chef through significant international experiences." - Michelin Inspector

8.0/10 - Good fine dining, nothing mind blowing but also no bad dishes. The stuffed chicken wing was the stand out dish with the pork being one to miss. It's certainly not a bad restaurant, far from it but it's not somewhere I would whole heartedly recommend with plenty of great options available.

This is a really great restaurant. The service is extremely good – genuinely warm and welcoming staff who know every detail about the food they are serving. They have really excellent food, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. And a very good wine-list which their knowledgeable sommelier can help with to match with your food. I attended a food-pairing event last week with wines from the famous Aldo Conterno winery and it was absolutely spot-on! A wonderfully enjoyable evening 👏

Where the soul savors and time stands still. Rarely is the palate moved to such emotion, but in this culinary sanctuary, every bite is an echo of wonder. To visit Malta and not surrender to dining in this place would be a lament that would haunt the soul through the years. From the first welcoming gesture, the majestic architecture embracing the space, the delicacy in every service detail, the exquisite curation of the cellar, and the symphony of dishes... here, everything is orchestrated with a precision that borders on the sublime. The pairing is an ancestral dance, a perfect ballet where each step merges wine with culinary creation, unleashing an explosion of the senses. Textures, ethereal and bold, alongside flavors from distant constellations, transport the spirit to unknown spheres. Sabrina, the head sommelier, weaves with her words a tapestry of knowledge, unveiling the hidden essence of each dish and, of course, the liquid history of the wines that dance in perfect harmony with them. It is a revelation, a masterclass that elevates dining to the category of art.

What an extraordinary culinary experience ! We took the degustation menu and had no regrets. The wine pairing was delicious and worth it. We discovered excellent new wines that were paired intelligently with each plate. The waiters and sommelier were friendly and helpful. One advice : the focaccia bread is sooo good !!! Try to keep some room for the rest of the meal!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100/100 I had the privilege of dining at an Aldo Conterno wine dinner at this restaurant last night, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The food was truly out of this world — every dish beautifully crafted — and the wine pairings were absolutely flawless. This wasn’t my first visit, and I can confidently say I’ve never been disappointed. The consistency, quality, and passion behind every detail really stand out. Highly recommended — a solid 100/100.

Incredibly warm and welcoming staff. The artichoke ravioli is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! Made even better with the truffle supplement

🌟 Risette: A Cozy Culinary Gem in Valletta Tucked within the elegant Casa Ellul in the heart of Valletta, Risette is a fine dining experience that feels both refined and warmly intimate. Each dish is a celebration of seasonal produce and bold flavors. From delicate starters to artfully plated mains, every bite is thoughtfully composed and deeply satisfying. Risette’s atmosphere is cozy yet sophisticated. With soft lighting, attentive service, it’s the perfect setting for a romantic dinner or a quiet celebration. The space feels personal and welcoming, making diners feel like honored guests rather than just patrons. The staff are knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the food and wine they serve. Their attentiveness and ability to anticipate guests’ needs add a layer of comfort that complements the restaurant’s intimate vibe.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the degustation menu which had a very fair price. I had the feeling the chef didn't reach his full potential yet and a few dishes could have some small changes or additions to reach a complete culinair orgasme. The presentation was impeccable though.
