  Prices were expensive for the portion size and the food was bland. Steak was too small and not cooked as requested. Service was good but a bit pretentious unfortunately. Atmosphere was nice. After-dinner digestifs were given on the house, which was nice of them

  I left Malta fifty years ago although I am a frequent returner and I have seen the New Year in with my family on the eve of Valletta becoming the European City of Culture. In my medical student days there was an Italian eatery at 59 Kingway (now Republic Street) known as the Bologns Restaurant which offered excellent pastas.... My foodie sister told me about this new restaurant, 59 Republic, on the site of the former Bologna Restaurant. She had seen their menu and thought that their meat dishes would be an attraction. My daughter and I were in Malta to attend a family funeral and our first meal together on the island was at lunchtime at 59' It is a small restaurant with a cosy modern decor. It was a quiet time and service was polite and immediate but both of us were surprised and delighted with the menu and, despite my meat eater identity, we both chose fish starters and mains. Pat had a beautifully crafted seared Scottish scallop starter enhanced with salami, sautéed chimes mushrooms, garden pea and porchetta soup and crispy pancetta and the result was an example of perfect flavouring. I chose a saffron infused risotto enhanced with salami topped with a butter topped poached lobster tail - divine'. We both chose the pan roasted sea bass dish as our main course. It was cooked in a creamy caper and lemon veloutemain course and other goodies and the flavours were once again the hallmark of this creation. This is a fantastic little restaurant which will become a foodies destination in Malta's capital, and deservedly so..... flawless.....
