Fontanella Tea Garden, Café and restaurant on medieval walls in Mdina, Malta.
Fontanella Tea Garden is a café and restaurant spread across multiple terraces along Mdina's fortified walls. The space features various seating areas with views toward eastern Malta and the Mediterranean Sea.
The establishment sits on the ancient walls of Mdina, Malta's former capital where noble families lived from medieval times onward. This location connects historical structures with contemporary dining.
The restaurant serves traditional Maltese ftira sandwiches alongside Mediterranean dishes, blending local tastes with contemporary dining. The menu shows how visitors and locals share meals in a space that bridges tradition and modern culture.
The café is typically open during daytime and evening hours with no reservations required, but tables along the walls can be crowded during peak times. Arriving early in the day or visiting in late evening helps ensure a spot when fewer guests are present.
Each terrace section provides different views of the island's landscape, from inland villages to the distant Mediterranean. These shifting perspectives let visitors see different facets of Malta during their time here.
