We had an absolutely incredible Valentine’s Day dinner at Paranga. The pasta carbonara was rich and perfectly balanced, while the vegan steak was a delightful surprise, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The red and blue roses added such a romantic touch, making the evening feel extra special. Service was outstanding, attentive yet not overbearing, and the food was truly some of the best we’ve ever had. A perfect experience from start to finish, highly recommend!

We couldn't get into the restaurant we had wanted as it was closed for refurbishment, so The Taproom was a last minute decision - but what a great one it was! Fantastic food, unintrusive and efficient service, and a very pleasant ambience. Definitely one of the best meals we had in Valletta whilst on holiday.
