Tucked away at 116, 119 St. Lucia's Street in Il-Belt Valletta, Legligin has earned its stellar reputation among discerning diners, with a remarkable 4.7/5 rating from over 2,000 reviews. The restaurant’s charm lies in its ever-changing tasting menus, where each course unveils a new facet of Maltese culinary tradition. Guests can expect a journey of flavours, from hearty rabbit stew to delicate artichokes, all served with a basket of fresh bread to complement the experience.

As Claire put it, "The best thing about this place is the price. The food is very very good but nothing amazing, but for €37 at lunch, you get to try lots of taster size Maltese dishes. You also get a huge basket of bread which helps !"

For those seeking an authentic taste of Malta without breaking the bank, Legligin offers exceptional value. Lunch menus, priced between €15-30 per head, present an array of taster-sized Maltese dishes, while dinner extends the experience with a more elaborate 7-course offering. The restaurant’s warm ambiance and attentive service make it a standout choice for both casual lunches and intimate dinners.

"This is a great place to experience real Maltese cuisine, with the added twist that you don't know what the 5-course lunch, or 7-course dinner menu will consist of. The 5-course lunch menu is very reasonably priced, although we went for the premium wine pairing that added considerably to the price...."

"Amazing experience! Went there for a solo date & loved the cozy atmosphere. The staff were super sweet & the food was delicious. I tried a bit of everything: dips, artichokes, fish, octopus, rabbit stew, pasta, potato soup & a bread pudding for dessert."
