As Philipp Kleinschnittger put it, "We spent 4 days in Valletta and came here on the first morning... guess what? We came back here every morning for the full 4 days. The food is amazing, the service extremely friendly and the atmosphere is chilled."

The menu at Elephant Shoe is a celebration of flavour and presentation, with standout items like Turkish eggs and expertly brewed cappuccinos that have earned it a loyal following.
