Eat Maltese food down by the harbour
The restaurants and cafés around Republic Street cater for shoppers. Otherwise, the place to head for food is the Valletta Waterfront, down by the Grand Harbour. Here you’ll find everything from Chinese restaurants to the Hard Rock Café, but most eateries serve up a fusion of Mediterranean and Maltese food. Widow’s soup, a hearty vegetable soup, is cheap, healthy and served everywhere.
