Expert review of Fontanella
Enjoy cakes and views from the top of the bastions walls of Mdina.
Fontanella is famous throughout Malta for two things – its views and its chocolate cake. Both are well worth sampling!
Food and drink:
The cakes are the thing. The chocolate cake is the famous one but there is a long list and I like some of the others just as much. The rest of the food - light meals and sandwiches – is pretty ordinary.
Recommended dishes:
Cakes!
Ambience:
It's outdoor, but partially covered. The atmosphere downstairs is nothing special. Sit on the upper terrace on top of the fortifications of Mdina with a 180º panorama - fabulous. Note it can get windy.
Service:
Staff are often rushed off their feet and service can be very slow. Relax and enjoy the view.
Location:
It's just off Bastion Square at the high point of Mdina. Wander your way up past the sights and rest your legs here before heading back.
Price advice:
It's 2.60 euros for a large slice of cake.
