At Cheeky Monkey, we take everything you love about casual dining, the delicious food, great selection of drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere, and inject a hearty dose of fun into proceedings.
Whether you’re strolling through Valletta or chilling by the sea in Qawra or St Paul’s Bay, our award-winning gastropub franchise is here to turn your average lunch or dinner into something a little more mischievous.
Options for casual dining in Valletta or St Paul’s Bay
Looking for restaurants in Valletta that serve up great food with a generous side of energy? Or maybe you’re after Malta St Paul’s Bay restaurants with seaside views and sun-drenched terraces? Either way, we’ve got you covered.
At Cheeky Monkey Valletta, we’re right on Merchant Street, in the heart of the capital’s action. It’s the perfect pitstop for city wanderers, post-work wind-downs, or anyone who fancies swapping museum tours for a bit of monkey business.
Over in Qawra, our waterfront spot serves up sea views, a spacious terrace, and all the chill seaside-town feels. Pop in after a swim, catch the sunset with a cocktail, or roll in with your crew for a casual dining with a view.
Food that’s more than just fuel
When we say casual dining in Malta, we don’t mean forgettable food that tastes different shades of beige. Our menu is the stuff food dreams are made of, offering dishes that are bold, saucy, and perfect for sharing (even if you won’t want to). We’ve got juicy burgers, smoky grills, mouth-watering pastas, fresh salads and plenty of veggie-friendly options too. We’re all about flavourful food without the fuss.
Drinks with a dash of mischief
Sure, we’re one of the top casual restaurants in Valletta and St Paul’s Bay. But we’re also one of the cheekiest bars in Malta too. From special signature cocktails at each of our outlets to beers, gins, rums, whiskeys, wines, and more, our drinks list is as wild as your weekend (or cheeky weekday) plans. There’s something for every kind of sipper, whether you’re all about the classics or feeling adventurous.
What’s more, we’ve got Happy Hour every day. That means 2-for-1 cocktails to get your evening off to a flying start. Trust us, nothing says casual dining in Malta like washing down your burger with a discounted cocktail while the sun sets over the Med.
Casual dining vibes that make you want to stay longer
If you’re the kind of person who goes out “just for one drink” and ends up staying until close, you’ll fit right in. At Cheeky Monkey, it’s not just about what’s on your plate or in your glass, it’s about the atmosphere. We’ve got big screens for the sports fans, top tunes playing all day and night, and a team that knows how to keep the energy up without being over the top. Whether it’s lunch with a view, an after-work tipple, or a casual night out that somehow turns legendary, this is the kind of spot you don’t want to leave.
