Tourists completely overlook the Valletta Waterfront but it's where locals actually eat and drink. Much more atmospheric than the tourist traps on Republic Street.

The restaurants here have harbor views and serve proper food at reasonable prices. It's accessible from the Valletta entrance near the ferry terminals, so easy to reach but somehow still off most tourists' radar.

Definitely not jeff's favorite spot or anything, but objectively it's a better dining experience than most places tourists end up. Just saying.
