Valletta


Salad specials, plump sandwiches and toasted chicken wraps all feature at this compact Australian-owned cafe. Fruit salad with Greek yoghurt and cold-pressed juices are both healthy options, and some of Valletta's best coffee is served with genuine Down Under charm and friendliness. Apparently, the Aussie owner's Maltese Mum came from just up the road in Floriana.
