Legligin Wine Bar & Restaurant

Legligin — a Maltese word meaning 'one who glugs down a drink' — is one of Valletta's most beloved dining experiences. Nestled in the cellar of a historic townhouse on Santa Lucia Street, this wine bar and restaurant has red shutters, stone walls lined with wine bottle niches, and an irresistibly convivial atmosphere. The menu is built around Maltese meze — stewed octopus, local cheeses, cured meats, and seasonal bites — paired with over 30 carefully curated wines, many from Malta's finest vineyards. The dinner tasting menu offers seven spectacular courses that change regularly to reflect what's freshest on the island. A quintessential Valletta experience.
