Tasty food and wine

Very limited on vegan gluten-free options, but luckily the vegan meatball dish was very tasty. Classy environment and nice wine too!

We’d go there again

We got the Bombette (made w Beyond) meatballs in a brown sauce, with roasted potatoes, and the tofu katsu. It was very good, as was the service. We would go there again.

Posh night

After trying lots of different places on our holiday we thought we we come here on our last nigh. Wish we had come here day one. The food and the atmosphere were amazing. Shared the vegan platter then had the vegan meat balls both were fantastic. Only problem I am going home tomorrow and can’t come back. We had a meat eater with us who also loved their meal.

Delicious food

My Stir-fried Tofu was just delicious, good portion as a main dish as well. I'd recommend you to safe done space for the desert: their Vegan Date and Walnut sticky toffee pudding is to die for! Very good value for money, and the he restaurant has a great atmosphere!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Vegan dessert, Friendly staff

Lovely food

I loved having dinner here, it was a lovely ambience and evening, and there were lots of vegan options on the menu. I had the bao buns and the tofu stir fry which were both lovely. Great customer service. Great portion sizes.

Pros: Tasty food , Great portions , Fantastic customer service

Don't miss the vegan dessert!

We ordered almost everything vegan on the menu and found it all tasted great. Good sized portions too. Note that the sauce used in the bao buns is the same for the stir fry, so if you don't want two similar tasting dishes, then order one or the other. The sticky date pudding and ice cream was the highlight for me -- it's so good!

Very happy customer

Clearly labelled vegan options with a good amount of choice. Had the stir fry tofu which was very tasty and filling, I left satisfied. Beautiful seating outside with a great atmosphere and attentive staff. Recommended for a slightly fancier night out in central Valetta.

Cons: Tad expensive

Good place for a quick but qualitative bite downtown

Really recommend the stir fry for a fuller meal or the bowl for sth fresh

Pros: Bowl and stir fry are very good, More than three options, Food took only 10 min to be ready

Cons: Slightly on the expensive side, Outside tables are very close to each other (smoke, It's on a walking street

Vegan spoken here. Highly recommended.

I had the vegan bowl and it was excellent. My wife had the Beyond Burger... Which was a double burger and was also very good . The establishment is great and the waiter we had was excellent. Such a relaxed place and a great example of how a conventional restaurant can go that little bit further and cater novelty for vegans. (There is a vegan dessert but I was too full!) 😁

Pros: Vegan options, Food is excellent, Great staff

Cons: None

Nice restaurant with good veg options

I ordered the tofu curry and it was delicious! The tofu itself was fried well yet a bit bland, but the curry sauce made up for it.

Great vegan diner

Great place for a vegan diner. They have a vegan option with every course. I had the vegan bao buns with fried tofu and hoisin sauce and it was very nice. As a main I had the vegan burger and that was nice too. Portions are quite big.

Good for English breakfast

A very nice bistro in a lovely street of Valletta close to the city gates. My partner and I went there to a brunch and ordered a vegan English breakfast

Great for Full English Breakfast fans (apart from that rather mediocre)

My friend and I went there for breakfast (reserved a day before and it turned out to be a good idea since all the places were occupied at 10am) since my friend really wanted to try the vegan Full English.
In the end, the dish was very good, the beyond meat sausage tastes authentically like a Bratwurst which is even after a couple of times still a pleasant surprise. The other parts of the dish (hash browns, baked beans, mushrooms and tomatoes) are nothing you can screw up badly - they were as expected. Unfortunately they had no scrambled tofu at this day and this was actually the main reason to go for the dish that set it apart from other options.
It came with two thick slices of homemade sourdough bread which is really recommendable (and we Germans know something about baking bread ;-)), one multigrain and one wheat - the multigrain was our preferred one.

I myself had a great tasting Açaí Berry Bowl topped with banana, kiwi, granola and blueberries (frozen, fresh would have been more pleasant since the bowl is already “ice cold”).

They have milk alternatives and as far as I remember, we did not have to pay extra which is unusual - definitely a plus!

The staff, a young waiter, was very polite and thoughtful!

Pros: Full English in a vegan version is rather rare, Multigrain sourdough bread was super tasty , Milk alternatives did not cost extra

Cons: Only a few vegan options, Essential compartments of the dish were missing

Good English breakfast

It's nicely located in a pedestrian street. We came for breakfast/brunch -- there really aren't that many vegan options at all.. but we were looking for a vegan English breakfast so that worked for us!

They have good smoothies and drink etc. - but really not that many options for breakfast/brunch.

Pros: OK English breakfast, Very friendly staff

Cons: Need more options!

Pleasant spot close to transport links

We enjoyed a celebratory meal. Tofu was perfectly cooked and sauces were tasty. Accommodating of our fussy preferences. Lovely coder on the menu.

Pros: Friendly, accommodating staff, Lovely location

Hope you like violife

My partner and I ordered a vegan platter for two
It turned out to mostly be 3 whole blocks of violife with some garnish and handful of crackers in sted of bread.
All in all not worth the money

Pros: Atmosphere

Some great vegan options

This is a really nice bistro close to the city gates. They serve a full vegan breakfast, which comes with beyond meat sausages and scrambled tofu which was good. They also have an evening menu which has a deep-fried tofu starter, a tofu Katsu curry and a vegan platter with vegan sausages and cheese. During some of the year they also offer vegan pies. The food is all very good and tasty, especially the curry which was delicious. My only complaint is that a lot of the options consist of the same items (for example both the starter and the curry are essentially the same dish, but with a different sauce). It would be nice therefore to see a little more variety in their ingredients. Nonetheless, a very good place to stop by for some food whilst you’re in Valletta, particularly for breakfast as it can be hard to find good vegan breakfasts here.

Pros: Vegan breakfast, Fantastic vegan curry

Cons: Could have a bit more variety in their dishes
