Gugar - Valletta

I went to Gugar with the intention to have dinner one evening in Valletta. I ordered a beer and then sat down outside to drink it and have a look at the menu. Unfortunately the staff decided to essentially take the night off and sit outside on the stairs and hang out with the patrons chatting and yelling to one another. At one point some people arrived (they had to literally step over staff sitting on the steps to even get into the place) and the staff thought it was hilarious that the first thing they said was “do you do takeout” as they didn’t like vibe of the place. Needless to say I did not stay for dinner and would not recommend.

Loved this place. Centrally locates and easy to find. Has adorable outdoor seating on the sidewalk, good AC inside, a full bar, and a ton of great vegetarian food, most of which can be mad vegan upon request with vegan cheese etc! We had the fajitas and they were amazing. We even got drinks for take away which was a nice way to go back to our airbnb.

We visited this restaurant twice while staying in Valletta. The smoothies were fantastic, the falafel plate was good, and the Mediterranean fajitas with vegan cheese were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic.

I spent several evenings at the charming Gugar, enjoying the best vegan smoothies I've ever had. The Banoffee smoothie was made vegan with special care from the very friendly staff. The food was fantastic, the prices were great, and the atmosphere was relaxed and quirky. They had an amazing selection of music playing. It was refreshing to see that very few people were on their phones; instead, they were playing games and socializing with each other. I even got hooked on UNO while I was there! Hands down, the best spot in Valletta.

I visited this restaurant in May 2019. I tried the Ftira Maltija, which is a ring-shaped, leavened Maltese bread with various fillings like sardines, tuna, potato, fresh tomato, onion, capers, and olives. They also offer a vegan version. It was very filling and affordable at 4.50. The food was delicious. The restaurant is small, but you can also choose to sit outside.
