Green Power: Maltese Restaurants You Need To Check Out If You’re Fancying A Hearty Vegan Meal
Beyond the endless list of health benefits, being vegan – or at least trying to – is becoming trendy nowadays. However, the biggest downside is the lack of varieties in menus or, even worse, not even finding a restaurant that will suit your needs.
With the plant-based coup gaining momentum globally, Malta’s culinary scene has an abundance of vegan delicacies.
Here are our top picks.

From their crazy vegan burger to homemade desserts, the restaurant has mastered the art of creating vivacious vegan dishes at its best.
2. Soul Food
For a refined vegan meal, it’s hard to beat Soul Food in Valletta. With an option of indoor and outdoor seating available, they have a wide array of vegan cuisines.
Their made-to-order traditional Italian piadina feels a taste like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
