Cheeky Monkey Gastropub Valletta

Valletta has plenty of places to eat, but Cheeky Monkey brings a little mischief and personality to the table. Situated in the heart of this historic city, it combines covered outdoor seating with a cosy interior, creating an easy-going atmosphere that suits suited to everything from a casual bite to a lively night out. The bar serves an appealing selection of cocktails, shots and wines, while the kitchen delivers a tempting range of shared starters and main courses. Arrive early to secure one of the fun swing seats for a playful experience. Sports fans are catered for with discreet screens, while private dining comfortably accommodates parties of 10 to 16 guests.

Themed starters make a tempting introduction, with stuffed potato skins filled with sour cream and cheddar cheese, topped with crispy bacon, or juicy chicken wings coated in a deliciously spicy sauce. The burrata with crunchy salad, tomato chutney and pesto, is a wonderfully fresh alternative. Burgers are generously meaty, available in various sizes and styles, and finished with enticing toppings. Fresh pastas and risottos are cooked to perfection, and the pappardelle featuring smoky salmon in a creamy vodka sauce is particularly tasty. House platters are ideal for sharing, bringing together a tempting assortment of bite-sized favourites to get the party started. The chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream provides a satisfying finale to a superb menu.
