La Vida

The restaurant’s warm, intimate atmosphere is matched by its thoughtful menu, where vegetarian options and carefully curated wine and beer selections complement dishes like the mixed cheese and meat platter, featuring ham that melts on the tongue. As Sem Hviid put it, "A truly great place to eat. We sat outside and could really feel the atmosphere from inside. The waiters were really good. Their mixed cheese and meat platter was fantastic—the ham literally melted on the tongue."

From midday on weekends, La Vida invites guests to linger over lunch or dinner, with service that balances attentiveness with a relaxed pace. The €15-30 per head price point reflects the quality of ingredients and care in preparation, whether opting for tapas or heartier mains. Its proximity to Marrobbio Italian Pizza, just 35 metres away, makes it a convenient stop for those exploring Sliema’s culinary scene. Reservations are recommended to secure a table, especially during peak hours, while takeaway and delivery options cater to those preferring to enjoy La Vida’s flavours at home. The commitment to vegetarian choices and flexible dining hours ensures there’s something for every palate and schedule, making it a standout in the neighbourhood. Travellers basing themselves nearby often pair a visit with one of the hotels in Malta close to Sliema, making it an easy addition to an evening out.
