Expert review of Fumia
Gourmet seafood in a cellar under one of Europe's oldest theatres.
In an historic cellar restaurant under Valletta's Manoel Theatre - buiilt by the Knights of St John and still functioning - Fumia is famous for its seafood. Seafood of all kinds are on offer and the menu varies constantly with the season and the daily catch.
Food and drink:
Fumia specialises in seafood in a big way. There are 14 different seafood pasta dishes on the menu - from swordfish or sea urchin to ricotta and squid ink ravioli - as well as a variety of fish and shellfish starters. For main course, as well as a few fixed items and one or two meat dishes each day, there is a choice of seasonal fresh fish. You choose your fish. They turn it into dinner.
Ambience:
In a tradiitonal stone cellar beneath the historic Manoel theatre, the restaurant is smart but relaxed.
Service:
The staff are helpful and generally efficient.
Location:
It's in the heart of historic Valletta.
Price advice:
Pasta starters are around 12-14 euros, fresh fish main courses vary a great deal as they are charged by type of fish and weight. It is worth checking the price when you order so you don't get a nasty shock at bill time. A typical three-course meal here is likely to set you back at least 50 euros a head (without drinks).
