Expert review of Rubino
Delicious Maltese food in a Valletta gem.
This is a real favourite. Tradiitonal Maltese cuisine in a place with genuine character. No menu, no prices!
Food and drink:
Eating here with a Maltese acquaintance she told me this was real Maltese food as Mama used to make it. All I can say is; Mama was a damn good cook. There is no menu and what is on offer changes daily according to what is in season. Tuesday night is rabbit night – rabbit being Malta’s national meat.
Recommended dishes:
For pudding, try their famous Cassata Siciliana – delicate and not oversweet.
Ambience:
Traditionally clad waiters serve at white-clothed tables beneath wine racks and lines of pickle jars in several small rooms.
Service:
It's low-key but friendly. Staff are happy to answer questions about the food.
Location:
It's behind a Dickensian shop front just off Malta’s main square.
Price advice:
Prices are not listed on the blackboard – most diners here have a rough idea what a meal will cost them: in the region of 25 euros a head (but check if you are concerned).
