Valletta gained a dazzling new hotspot this summer with the opening of Metropolis Bistro on Old Theatre Street.
Defined by its eclectic art deco décor and its fabulous mural designed by local artist Izzy Warrington, Metropolis has quickly become one of the city’s most sought-after destinations for good food in a fabulous setting – indoors and out.
Open for lunch, afternoon dining, dinner and cocktails, Metropolis presents an exciting bistro menu that’s sure to please every palate. This includes cheese-stuffed oven-baked Parma ham and melon or fresh mussels to start with, followed by calamari and chili tagliatelle, fresh fish, or – their specialty – the perfectly-cooked Metropolis fillet of beef served with Portobello mushrooms, carrot purée, fried onions, mixed wild mushrooms and a red wine jus.
Metropolis has also become renowned for its decadent desserts, including their signature mousse au chocolat and chocolate fondant. Plus, there’s a large selection of premium wines, spirits, beers and cocktails to try, completing a true gourmet experience in the capital.
Metropolis Bistro is open from noon to midnight from Monday to Saturday, with the kitchen taking orders until 11pm. Call 2099 0163 to reserve your table. W: www.metropolisbistro.com.
