    This restaurant looks cool and great BUT the food is dreadful. We booked and they eventually found the reservation but had no tables initially but then an outside table became available which we took. The ambience is good sitting in a busy lively area. We ordered the lamb with a jus and tagliatelle with half a lobster. The lamb was basically a stew with a thick congealed gravy on a mass of mashed potato BUT was cold. It was slop!! The lobster was so over cooked that it had a stringy consistency and so was inedible. They offered to cook it again but we decided to finish our drinks and leave. They offered nothing for the inconvenience of waiting 45’minutes for the food which was then inedible and cold. We went to Aki around the corner and had the best Sushi you will find anywhere. Don’t bother with Taproom.

    Lovely little bistro in Valletta. Booking in advance is advisable as there only appeared to be a limited number of covers. Little tables for two were very small but the booths for 4 appeared to provide more room. Food was good - not fantastic but ok. Service was excellent.

    We couldn't get into the restaurant we had wanted as it was closed for refurbishment, so The Taproom was a last minute decision - but what a great one it was! Fantastic food, unintrusive and efficient service, and a very pleasant ambience. Definitely one of the best meals we had in Valletta whilst on holiday.

    We were a table of five. Four of us opted for the risotto pumpkin with blue cheese and guanciale. There was no taste of pumpkin and blue cheese. Tasteless.
