Aaron's Kitchen

Aaron's Kitchen is a well-known family-style restaurant at 107 Archbishop Street (Triq l-Arcisqof) in Valletta, Malta, listed in the Michelin Guide. It serves a popular Maltese-Italian menu of meat and seafood dishes and has built a loyal following among both locals and visitors within the Valletta grid. The best-known dish is a beef fillet with Parma ham, king prawns and a brandy bisque, a rich plate that combines surf and turf in a style typical of Maltese-Italian restaurants. The menu also covers pasta, grilled fish and other Mediterranean dishes, and the homemade desserts are a regular highlight. The dining room is warm, informal and busy, with the energy of a neighbourhood favourite rather than a formal fine-dining venue. Dress is casual to smart-casual, and noise levels can rise when the restaurant is full. The beverage list focuses on Italian and Maltese wines, with options by the glass and the bottle that pair easily with the meat and seafood on the menu. Prices are in the mid to upper range for Valletta, reflecting the portion sizes and the quality of the produce. The restaurant serves lunch from 12:00 to 3:00PM and dinner from 6:30PM, with the kitchen closing at 10:00PM from Monday to Thursday and 10:30PM on Friday and Saturday. It is closed on Sundays. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant is often full at weekends, and booking several days in advance for Friday and Saturday dinners is sensible. Weekday lunches are easier to secure and offer a calmer experience. Archbishop Street sits near St John's Co-Cathedral and the Republic Street shopping area, which makes the restaurant a convenient stop between sights in the heart of the capital.
