Risette is a delightful small and intimate restaurant in Valletta. We had lunch, and had the place pretty much to ourselves. The service was excellent, very attentive, anticipating what we would like, and explaining the food and wine very well. The food was delicious: we'd highly recommend the starter snacks as part of the meal. We chose a la carte as it was lunch, but the tasting menu looked very enticing. We enjoyed the meal very much.

The restaurant Risette with its chef Steve Scicluna is quite something. Steve trained in Michelin star restaurants in London and Dublin, and that is very very noticeable. We ate there twice as the food was exceptional with many dishes reaching Michel star level, even though Risette does not even have a recommendation in the Michelin Guide, let alone a star. Well, it was our gain! Risette has an interesting wine list and a very varied, original menu, predominantly with French influences, but not overly heavy, and serious value for money. In actual fact, I think Steve should increase his proces!! The service was impeccable by the duo Sabrina, the sommelier from Argentina and Rose from the Philippines. We will be back in Malta this year, if only to eat at Risette!!

I have eaten in many world class restaurants over the years and Risette is up there among the best. The service was attentive but not overbearing. Lester and Sabrina looked after us and they were charming. Sabrina in particular was so engaging and knowledgeable about the accompanying wines. My partner and I opted for the taster menu with wine pairings. The food was truly splendid! Each course imaginatively presented and delicious from the wonderful canapés to the delightful petite fours. If I had to single out one element it would be the rabbit…beautifully cooked and show cased this often underrated meat. Well done to both the kitchen team and front of house! An amazing and memorable evening 😊

Dining at Risette Restaurant was nothing short of an extraordinary culinary journey that left my taste buds dancing with delight. From the moment I stepped inside the elegant establishment, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance was refined yet inviting, perfectly setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The restaurant's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the meal. The staff greeted us warmly, and their professionalism throughout the evening was impeccable. Our server was knowledgeable about both wine and food and made insightful recommendations, which only heightened our anticipation for what was to come. The menu at Risette was a masterpiece in itself, artfully combining classic dishes with innovative culinary creations. As a food enthusiast, I was delighted to find a wide selection of options to cater to various palates and dietary preferences. Whether you're a meat lover, seafood enthusiast, or vegetarian, Risette has something to satisfy your cravings. To start our culinary journey, we opted for the chef's tasting menu, and it proved to be an exceptional decision. The courses were expertly paced, allowing us to savor each dish and appreciate the complexity of flavors. From the amuse-bouche to the indulgent desserts, every plate was a work of art, meticulously presented with a creative flair that showcased the chef's expertise. Each dish was a harmonious symphony of textures and tastes, highlighting the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The delicate balance of flavors, with surprising and delightful twists, demonstrated the culinary mastery of the kitchen. It was evident that Risette's chefs poured their heart and soul into each creation, elevating simple ingredients into culinary marvels. The wine pairing with the tasting menu was an excellent addition, enhancing the overall experience. The sommelier's knowledge and passion for wine were evident as they guided us through a curated selection that perfectly complemented each course. Apart from the exceptional food and service, the atmosphere at Risette contributed to a memorable evening. The soft lighting, plush seating, and thoughtfully arranged tables allowed for an intimate dining experience, making it a perfect place for a special occasion or a romantic night out.

What a lovely 💙 experience at the award-winning finest restaurant in town for year 2025! It is without a doubt first-class, and the dish deserves Michelin stars ✨️. The food is skilfully balanced and tastes wonderful. The staff were really attentive and pleasant; special thanks to Mr. Lester, Alina, and the sommelier, Ms. Sabrina who gives perfectly choices on wine pairing; they are all amazing people who contribute to the excitement; there is nothing to compare. Big shoutout to the Chefs 👨‍🍳 Steve, Martina, and Kelly do an excellent job with their cuisine skills. The atmosphere, complete with such a gorgeous art artwork, lends a romantic feel to the dining environment. 101% recommendable. Your visit will be incomplete without passing by the award-winning restaurant in Malta.

Magnificent evening at Risette’s. Cozy setting, impeccable service, very inspired sommelier (we discovered magnificent wines from Sicily and Campania) and of course a very sharp chef. Risette is well worth the detour

This was our first meal in Malta. Wow, what a great start! The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. The drinks menu to start had Bollinger as the champagne which is our favourite, so we were extremely happy. All the food was delicious. Even the sourdough bread was exquisite. We had a “snack” of venison and creme fraiche balls in a filo pastry to start. Then for our starter we had monkfish ravioli with dill in a green peppercorn sauce. This was truly amazing. Every holiday you have a dish that stands out and you remember it forever. This will be it. I could come back and have that over and over. For mains we had the Angus steak and John Dory. Again both were excellent. All the food was cooked amazingly well and so tasty. As we were about to pay the bill they offered us both a digestive free of charge - Whiskey, Amoretto etc. then as we were leaving, they gave us both a little present each of some brownies. Amazing! There was nothing to fault from this fantastic restaurant.

I am not good with describing the food taste but we have been to many fine dining restaurants, some with the Michelin guide, but this restaurant beats them all. The restaurant is perfect from the beginning till the end. The staffs are very welcoming and attentive to each and everything. Each dishes kept surprising us with the flavors and creative taste and food presentation. The texture and flavor of the food plays beautifully that it feels like a performance for the whole 2:30hr tasting menu. We were there for our 10 years anniversary and their food and service definitely made it a beautiful evening ✨ Highly recommend this place because of their impeccable food and service 🤍

We've dined at Risette several times, and every meal at this restaurant is a cherished memory. The cuisine is exquisite, imaginative, and absolutely delightful. The presentation, textures, and flavors are expertly combined to deliver delightful surprises. The menu changes with each season, and the chef consistently offers a delightful vegetarian option. This gourmet restaurant is a must-visit in Malta, competing with the finest establishments across Europe. The atmosphere is serene and elegant. The service is impeccable, and the staff is passionate. We eagerly anticipate returning to Risette time and time again with immense pleasure.

Food was outstanding; we took the degustation menu and each dish was close to perfection: great flavours, in credible creativity, perfect size for a degustation menu. on top presentation of each dish is extraordinary. Really the most enjoyable gastronomic experience we had for a long time. This chef fully deserve a Michelin star and it is the best dining experience in Malta, and on top the price is very reasonable. The wine cellar offers a large selection of international wines, with several great choices and value for money. High quality service that also deserves the star. Bravo!

Organised a private dinner for my wife's 40th bday in one of the dining rooms. Dealing with Matthew was uncomplicated and he understood our requests. The food was delicious. I thoroughly enjoy my cured amberjack starter and duck main course and I head that the Seabass was particularly enjoyable and interesting by some of the guests. The dessert was a rich and chocolatey slice of decadence. The wines were fantastic and paired well and the service was attentive, polite and friendly without being overbearing. The little petit fours to-go after the coffee were a great hit with the guests too Well done !

This is genuinely some of the best food I have tasted - ever! It is tucked away down Old Theatre Street in Valletta - not far from the Anglican ProCathedral and really worth seeking out. The service is first class with an excellent winelist and a knowledgeable sommelier to help you to decide what to have. The food is most beautifully presented and every mouthful explodes with flavour. We met the chef after the meal to tell him how much we enjoyed his creations. He was very modest and said he just enjoyed cooking. Michelin star assessors should make a note.

Among the many nineteenth-century houses transformed into small luxury hotels, Casa Ellul certainly boasts the best restaurant, inviting and elegant, an extremely comfortable space. Innovative and creative Chef Stefe Scicluna, with starry experience, offers menus that change every week and combine the finest ingredients and surprising flavors, with an evident passion for French and Japanese cuisine; the dishes are also visually beautifully appealing. Tasting Menu with possible wine pairing or à la carte. It starts with extremely intriguing canapés and continues with Lampuki, Foie gras ganache, fish of the day "en brioche" and Maltese rabbit, without forgetting a damn good bread. Remarkable selection of local and foreign wines. Courteous and impeccable service, always attentive and discreet.
