Skip hotel-restaurant generic Mediterranean — Valletta is small enough that the working restaurants are 5 minutes from anywhere.</div> </div> </div> <p>Valletta is small. About 1km long and 600m wide, with maybe 80 restaurants and another 50 cafes and bars packed in between. The good news: the best ones are mostly local, mostly affordable, and walkable to from any Valletta hotel. The bad news: there are a fair number of &ldquo;international Mediterranean&rdquo; tourist traps with English menus on Republic Street that will sell you a €22 spaghetti carbonara that lives in a microwaveable form. This guide picks the restaurants that are worth your evening, broken down by what kind of meal you actually want.</p>
