Amazing place. The staff is so friendly and funny, it is such a joyful experience to eat here. The food is tasty, diverse and the prices are great for the quality. Really clean place, also. Visited a few times and it was more than worth it.

My experience at Galea was positive.
I was pleased to be able to sit in an air conditioned room, and the staff was truly friendly.

Service was very fast, and I had wished it took more time as I went solo. All in all, after half an hour I was done (considering I didn’t want a dessert).

The quality and price of ingredients is balanced. My Greek salad was a small portion but was enough to be eaten before the pasta.

I personally didn’t appreciate whole big pieces of white onion because it was very strong. Having soaked it in some white vinegar before would have balanced the strong flavour.

There were only two pieces of green peppers, and tons of big feta chunks. Adjusting the proportions would have made eating the salad a smoother experience. Also, I am happy it came with a plate because it was way too much content for the little bowl it came with.

The pasta was really good, nothing to object. A very filling, tasty and affordable portion.

Last but not least, the music didn’t really match the ambiance of the place. It was more fitting to a cocktail bar. I had to ask to tone it down. Maybe it would have been perfect for the outside patio.

All in all, I recommend.

Excellent experience. The food was delicious, fresh, and clearly prepared with great attention to quality. What really stood out, though, was the customer service—professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish.

Honestly, the current 4.3 Google rating feels unfair. Based on both the food and especially the level of service, this place deserves at least 4.7+. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back.

Overall, we enjoyed this restaurant. The staff was friendly, and the service was fast — we didn't have to wait long for our food. I ordered a traditional Maltese dish, the rabbit stew, and my partner had pasta with beef fillet, mushrooms, cream, truffle sauce. The food was delicious and the portions were quite large. The only downside was the cocktails; they weren't the best and felt very weak. We would recommend this place for the food, but not for the cocktails.

As we were reading the menu a server came to say hi, told us about the days specials and advised closing time as it was already getting late.

Great selection food from local dishes, pastas, pizza, burgers and a kids menu.

We ordered a local fish soup, kalamri starter followed by Octopus stew and pasta.

Soup was so tasty, really flavourful without being 'fishy', calamari was crispy without being overly greasy, really tender also.

Octopus stew was absolutely delicious, super tender Octopus in a rich tomato and olive sauce loaded with soft boiled potatoes. The portion was large also and came with crusty bread and fries.

Pasta was well cooked, decent size portion with a clean fresh and creamy taste.

Staff were all locals and really friendly and helpful when asking about the dishes.

Highly recommend.

We were welcomed by the gentleman outside whilst walking past, and were treated like royalty after being seated.
Nothing was too hard for the lady looking after us.
The food was amazing, food allergies were accounted for and we were all satisfied with our evening.
Thank you so much for a wonderful 'Last Supper' in Malta.
