Ambra

Tucked away at 28 Triq San Pawl in the heart of Mdina, Ambra has earned its stellar reputation among discerning diners. The warm, inviting atmosphere is matched by a menu that celebrates both creativity and tradition, where every dish tells a story. My parents came to Malta to visit us, and we took the opportunity to try Ambra with them.
