Okay so lets say you’ve moved to Malta and you discover a new area today in Valletta called the ‘Waterfront’ and out of a selection of great restaurants available you end up in the Hard Rock Cafe!!! How did this happen??
Well firstly we had not ‘found’ this area before as it is where the cruise ships dock and thus we try to avoid that area as it would be busy with tourists and prices in the shops and restaurants in this area are usually higher (as was the case). However they have really set up this area nice, it is literally next to where the cruise ships dock and the one in today was humongous. It was eight floors high and ran the whole length of the docking area.
We had a stroll along the front which was mainly occupied by restaurants, all of which looked really nice. Each one had its own seating area outside next to the water, overshadowed by the huge cruise ship.
As it was lunch time we decided to eat at one of these restaurants and did we choose which restaurant by the gastronomical delights on the menu? Of course not we chose the restaurant with the most comfortable squishy chairs underneath a big umbrella and then picked up the menus. Which brings us to how we ended up in a Hard Rock Cafe and not some typical Maltese establishment. I must say though that the nosh was great and we will definitely be back!
