The Rooftop Restaurant
International restaurant · Valletta, Malta
Perched high above the bustling streets of Valletta, The Rooftop Restaurant has earned its stellar 4.6/5 rating from 2,427 discerning diners, and it’s easy to see why. Tucked away at Level 7 of The Embassy Valletta Hotel on 173 Strait Street, this hidden gem offers an unparalleled vantage point, where the golden evening light spills over the city’s honeyed limestone walls, casting long shadows and creating an atmosphere of quiet elegance. What truly sets it apart is the way the rooftop terrace transforms into a private oasis, with the city’s historic skyline unfolding beneath you as you dine.
The menu here is a thoughtful balance of refined flavours and generous portions, with regulars often gravitating towards the tasting menu—a multi-course journey that showcases the finest local ingredients. One guest, celebrating their birthday, noted it was a “magical evening,” praising the “highest quality ingredients played and served perfectly.” At around €70 per head, it’s a splendour best enjoyed with a glass of Maltese wine or a crisp beer, making it equally suited for romantic dinners, family celebrations, or those seeking a quiet moment of indulgence amid the city’s vibrant energy.
For an evening that lingers in the memory, book ahead—this rooftop retreat is popular, and reservations are advised. Open from 12:30 PM until late, it’s perfectly positioned for pre- or post-dinner drinks, with Valletta’s iconic landmarks just a short stroll away. Whether it’s a special occasion or simply a desire to see the city from a new perspective, The Rooftop Restaurant is an unmissable stop on any Maltese sojourn. For those flying in specifically for the island's food scene, it sits comfortably alongside the best of Valletta's restaurants, within easy reach for anyone arriving via flights to Malta with KM Malta Airlines.
