Grotto Tavern

The restaurant’s charm lies in its intimate setting, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and artisanal sandwiches mingles with the warmth of Maltese hospitality. It had been recommended by a few different people and were so glad we went! The service, food and location are all excellent.

Diners can explore a menu that balances classic tea and coffee offerings with heartier fare, including vegetarian options and local wines, all served in a wheelchair-accessible space. Whether for a leisurely lunch or a refined dinner, Grotto Tavern provides a tranquil escape, just a few steps from neighbouring Ambra restaurant, making it a perfect stop for those exploring Rabat’s culinary delights. Travellers basing themselves nearby often pair a visit with one of the hotels in Malta close to Rabat, making it an easy addition to an evening out.
