The Best Vegetarian And Vegan Restaurants In Malta

The island nation of Malta is equipped with restaurants catering for diverse tastes. In recent years there has been an emergence of vegan and vegetarian restaurants – here are five of the best spots across the island.

1. Jangal

Bar, Restaurant, European

Open since early 2015, Jangal is a recent addition to Malta’s vegan and vegetarian dining scene, serving a selection of dishes influenced by Indian, Pakistani and Thai cuisine with a bit of twist. Conveniently located in St Julian’s, the country’s foremost entertainment district, this small restaurant is situated within the longer-standing Juuls Reggae Bar. True to its original mission, it sets itself the task of creating an environment that embraces food as much as it does art, music, and poetry.

2. Tate Cafe Bar

Bar, Cafe, Restaurant, European

Tate, now around for nearly a decade, was the first vegetarian restaurant in the county. Until relatively recently, it was also its only one. It is located on the restored Vittoriosa waterfront, nestled between the impressive sights of Fort St Angelo on one side, and the Malta Maritime Museum on the other. Pizza and pasta dishes, Middle Eastern food, smoothies, and a number of vegan-friendly options are all on the menu. Plentiful outdoor seating space is available in the restaurant’s front terrace, contributing to a truly Mediterranean atmosphere.
