Cru

Valletta


Set amid the shimmering shopfronts of Valletta's traditional jewellery street, Cru is an excellent place to try wines from around Malta and the Mediterranean. The owner is very knowledgable, and the regular lunch special of two small dishes for €14 is a great way to while away an afternoon. Regular tastings of new wines are held at 7pm on Wednesdays.
