MODERN MEDITERRANEAN BAR
Overlooking Valetta and Manoel Island, this new opening in Ta’ Xbiex, Solta, brings together the traditional British pub, the Dutch Bruin Cafe, Seafront Beach Club and Curated Small Plates from an Award Winning Executive Chef.
Solta,
Born from friendship, a shared dream, and a love of gathering people together, Solta is our invitation to loosen, unwind and feel at home.
Solta is a Modern Mediterranean Bar selling cocktails, wine and small plates. A place for relaxing, meeting friends and enjoying the simple pleasure of just being together. Sharing plates inspired by Maltese flavours with good conversation and laughter.
Drawing on more than 50 years of combined experience in hospitality, we have created Solta as a cocktail and small plates bar where people can relax, laugh and belong.
Alongside this, we are proud to support charitable work providing educational care and support for pre primary school aged children in the townships of Cape Town, South Africa.
So come in, relax, eat, drink, talk, laugh, or simply be.
With love,
David, Sahar, Sebastian & Matt
Our Journey
These photos show the story from the very beginning to where we are today. When we first stepped into the space, there was no lighting, no water, nothing — just an empty shell and a huge vision. It’s been a long, challenging, and incredibly exciting journey, starting all the way back in January, when we decided to bring this idea to life almost a year ago.
Every step, every setback, and every breakthrough has brought us closer to opening the doors. Seeing how far we’ve come makes it all feel worth it — and we can’t wait to share the finished space with everyone.
