Waiter-service café-bar, located on Valletta's Republic street, has rapidly become one of the places to be in Valletta A small Belle-Epoque-style café, Charles Grech serves breakfast, light lunches (including sandwiches, salads and Italian dishes), snacks and coffee as well as cocktails, wine and an extensive collection of spirits, especially whiskies (this family firm has long been one of the main importers of spirits to Malta). A great place for continental breakfast, an aperitif before dinner or a nightcap after.

This quirky little bar overflows on the street at weekends, especially in summer. Get there early for one of the pink velvet armchairs in the alley outside. Tico Tico is a less seedy reincarnation of the original bar (of the same name) on this site that until the 1970s entertained sailors with drinks, floor shows and other services. Strait Street used to be known as 'The Gut' and was full of sailors' bars. After the Royal Navy left Malta, the area fell into dereliction. Tico Tico was one of the first in a new breed of places there.

Sunday mornings. It’s a cross between flea market and car boot sale. You’ll have to jostle past the jumble sale stalls with hoards of women picking over second-hand clothing. But wend your way up and down the rows of stall holders, who’ve set up pitch at 5am to get pole position, and you’ll find some of the quirkiest, weirdest, kitschiest objects you’ll have ever stumbled upon. Need a whole jazz band from the southern USA (in statuette form)? Or some religious memorabilia? Of course, you’ll also find some rare vintage pieces like those 1960s retro lamps you’ve always wanted. Not to mention army surplus that’s great for the kids’ dressing-up box.
