Best for Cheap eats - Expert review of Caffe Cordina
The Valletta café - a Malta institution.
This is a Valletta landmark and popular meeting place right at the heart of the capital. Sit under the (dis?)approving gaze of Queen Victoria with a cup of coffee and a sandwich/pastizzi and watch the world go by.
Food and drink:
There is coffee and cold drinks, pastries, sandwiches, pastizzi (traditional Maltese mini-pasty) and excellent ice cream.
Ambience:
Inside, it is rather like a Viennese Café, outside it is all Valletta – paradise for people watching.
Service:
It's either uniformed waiters, or go to the counter. Not fast, but not slow either and anyway who cares, there is plenty to look at.
Location:
The café is right on Valletta’s main street (pedestrianised) just before it feeds into the city’s main square. Outside seating takes up most of a small secondary square in front of the Knights’ library, between St John’s Co-Cathedral and the Grand Master’s Palace. Could not be more at the heart of things.
Price advice:
Croissants cost 1.65 euros, pastizzis 75 cents for two, baguettes 4.95 euros, and ice cream 2.25 euros per scoop.
