Trabuxu Bistro

Trabuxu’s warm hues and eclectic décor catch your attention as soon as you step inside. Deep red walls, dark hardwood flooring, colourful paintings, antique signs and small gilded mirrors create a characterful setting, offering a feast for the eyes before the food arrives. You can also start or round off your meal with a glass of wine at the equally inviting Trabuxu Wine Bar just around the corner. With its intimate atmosphere, distinctive décor and carefully prepared seasonal dishes, Trabuxu Bistro offers an inviting setting for a relaxed lunch or dinner in Valletta, whether meeting friends, enjoying a leisurely lunch or settling in. 

Trabuxu Bistro serves a seasonal menu that may change, with fresh fish, meat and pasta at its heart. For starters, try the chicken liver parfait with homemade chutney or roast bone marrow with pickles and toast. Homemade cappelletti with fontina and ricotta, toasted pine nuts and herb butter emulsion makes a lovely lunch option. Mains include fillet of beef and local rabbit braised in white wine and garlic, finished with Parmesan and lemon gremolata. Fresh fish of the day is also available. Innovative sides include panzanella salad and Sicilian caponata. Finish with chocolate torte or lemon curd and almond crumble. The dedicated, vibrant serving team can recommend a wine from Trabuxu’s extensive list to complement your meal, whether you prefer a bold red or a lighter white.
