Rubino
Rubino earns rave reviews for reinventing Maltese cuisine while staying true to its roots. There’s no menu, just a selection of the day’s dishes depending on seasonal produce and local tradition. Leave room for dessert – the house speciality, cassata siciliana (sponge cake soaked in liqueur, layered with ricotta cheese), is particularly recommended. Tuesday night is fenkata (a communal meal of rabbit) night, for which bookings are advised.

Carriage
A consistently polished performer, the Carriage is on the top floor of a Valletta townhouse and enjoys a great view over Marsamxett Harbour. The menu is French influenced, with dishes such as stuffed quail with black truffle sauce, and roast lamb with thyme jus and braised leeks. Entry is through a nondescript office building next door to Cocopazzo restaurant.

Ambrosia
The standards here are high and the welcome is warm (the chef might just pop by to see how you enjoyed your meal). The blackboard menu changes daily; on it you’ll find Mediterranean dishes making great use of fresh local produce, produced according to the Slow Food philosophy (eg pumpkin soup, goat’s cheese soufflé, braised lamb shank).

282 Coffee Garden
This place is right in the thick of things. It's a little touristy but nicely done - the upstairs area with comfy rattan chairs and greenery (fake) offers respite from the bustling main street below. Don't look for surprises in the 'classic hits' menu: pasta, pizza, salads, sandwiches, cakes.
