Kantina Café & Wine

Kantina enjoys a stunning location in the heart of Malta’s capital, Valletta, nestled at the foot of the magnificent steps leading to St John’s Co-Cathedral. Its inviting outdoor seating area, sheltered beneath expansive canopies and surrounded by majestic trees, offers a charming setting in which to relax and soak up the city’s vibrant atmosphere. Thoughtfully equipped with cooling fans for warmer days, outdoor heaters and cosy blankets when temperatures dip, Kantina provides comfort throughout the seasons. The relaxed, welcoming ambience is often enhanced by live music, adding to its laid-back Mediterranean charm. 

Kantina delights diners with an enticing and thoughtfully curated menu that beautifully combines international favourites with authentic Maltese specialities. Indulge in parmesan truffle chicken, a wonderfully creamy, crisp and satisfying dish, or savour succulent pork tenderloin, delicately complemented by honey, mustard and figs, both accompanied by seasonal vegetables and comforting mashed potatoes. For a true taste of Malta, traditional fenek (rabbit) is a must-try, pan-fried to perfection and served with golden, crunchy chips and fresh salad. Leave room for decadent homemade tiramisu or traditional Maltese imqaret, deliciously paired with sweet vanilla ice cream. Complement your meal with a carefully chosen wine from the selection displayed on the attractive racks near the charming front door.
