Another booking made on the basis of tripadvisor reviews. We made 3 such bookings prior to our holiday and this was the only one that asked us to confirm the booking again 24 hours beforehand. As it turned out we would probably have been able to get a table anyway. First impressions - a little more 'highbrow' than I normally... More

Visited this restaurant recently and decided to book for a Wednesday night which was advertised to be a candlelight dinner which was confirmed on booking. Our table for 2 was just about an adequate size but a little to close to a neighbouring couple so hard not to listen to their conversation! The very attractive restaurant was adorned with many...

I ate lunch at Palazzo Preca twice on my recent trip to Malta. The food was great, the staff was attentive and I felt the prices were good. I had the same dish on both my visits because it was so tasty. Lunch was leisurely and unhurried. (Unlike eating in some restaurants in the US where everything is rushed.) The... More

We enjoyed this restaurant so much early in our week in Valletta that we went back on our last night. The service and environment were great, but the food is the crown jewel! A choice between 2 and 3 course 'formulas' and a la carte are available, and they have good selection of wines including memorable local vintages.

We booked here on the back of the great Tripadvisor reviews and again we weren't disappointed. Would recommend booking as they turned a lot of people away.We got a lovely little table by the door and could sit and look at all the paintings on the wall and fab decor.They take out all the fish on a cart so you...

We took a recommendation from our hotel alongside all the rave reviews on Trip Advisor and chose Palazzo Preca for dinner on our final evening in Malta. I wish we had gone elsewhere. We booked a table, as we were coming quite late after going to the theatre. We expected the restaurant to be quite full of diners finishing their... More

A faireyland setting as if you are eating in some one's palace. The service was good, but the food was great. Familiar dishes that were the best we had ever had.

This is one of the best restaurants we went to in Malta. I found it on here before we went on our trip and was smart enough to book a table (as they are quite full on evenings). The people working there are extremely nice and the service is excellent. The food is absolutely amazing. I love seafood and being... More

it isn't really "hidden" but it is one street back from the main pedestrian street in Valletta. We fortunately came upon it late on a Sunday afternoon, and although the tables were quite full, the waiter went out of his way to locate a nice table for us which set a good tone. We each ordered a light meal but... More
