Brilliant. When you go to a restaurant abroad and it's full of locals you know it's good and this is what we found with this restaurant. We were given complimentary starters and bread, and the dishes we chose were fantastic. The service and value was excellent.

We enjoyed Palazzo Preca eventually almost every nights out of our 2 weeks in Valletta. We found this restaurant on the second day after arrival to Malta and booked the table for the rest of the days, although we didn't know anything about this restaurant before entering its door. Everything was excellent, friendly staff, brilliant cusine, and vintage interior. It... More

I have visited this restaurant several times and the food has always been first class. The service however can be very patchy and it is annoying when enjoying a meal to have to search out a waiter in order to request another glass of wine - this is especially true when the restaurant is very quiet and staff really should...

In our 9 day Malta vacation, this was the only restaurant we visited for dinner in Valletta. And based on the high amount of positive reviews, our expectations were high. There were also other choices in the menu, but we decided to try the local fish/shellfish because they advertised the quality of those dishes outside and also inside of the... More

Despite the fact that we visit hundreds of restaurants on a yearly basis it is absolutely not customary of us to review them, preferring instead to review hotels, where our true passion lies. However Palazzo Preca has indeed stirred us into make an exception to this self-imposed rule and the only reason for this was because we were truly impressed... More

Another booking made on the basis of tripadvisor reviews. We made 3 such bookings prior to our holiday and this was the only one that asked us to confirm the booking again 24 hours beforehand. As it turned out we would probably have been able to get a table anyway. First impressions - a little more 'highbrow' than I normally... More

Visited this restaurant recently and decided to book for a Wednesday night which was advertised to be a candlelight dinner which was confirmed on booking. Our table for 2 was just about an adequate size but a little to close to a neighbouring couple so hard not to listen to their conversation! The very attractive restaurant was adorned with many...

I ate lunch at Palazzo Preca twice on my recent trip to Malta. The food was great, the staff was attentive and I felt the prices were good. I had the same dish on both my visits because it was so tasty. Lunch was leisurely and unhurried. (Unlike eating in some restaurants in the US where everything is rushed.) The... More

We enjoyed this restaurant so much early in our week in Valletta that we went back on our last night. The service and environment were great, but the food is the crown jewel! A choice between 2 and 3 course 'formulas' and a la carte are available, and they have good selection of wines including memorable local vintages.
