Booking

Do I need to book?

Yes, we recommend booking. Anaalā is a small rooftop and most nights are full. We're open nightly from 6pm; pick your time when you book online, it takes under a minute.

How long do we have the table?

Tables are yours for two hours from your booking time, which is comfortable for the full set menu. If you'd like a longer evening, book a later time.

Can I choose the terrace or a sala?

There are four ways to dine at Anaalā: the indoor dining room, the open-air terrace, a private sala or the poolside upper deck. Tell us your preference when you book and we'll do our best; it depends on availability and, for outdoor tables, the weather.

What's the cancellation policy?

Cancellations and changes are free up to 12 hours before your reservation. Inside 12 hours, cancellations, no-shows and reductions of two or more guests are charged at €59 per person to the card on file. Full details are in our Booking Policy, or call us on +356 9911 0166.

Do you take walk-ins?

When there's a table, yes, but we can't promise one without a booking, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays.

The Menu

How does the Menu-Go-Round work?

Anaalā serves one region of Thailand each evening: North (Lanna), Northeast (Isan), Central (Bangkok) or South (Coast). The region rotates nightly, so select your preferred date on the booking page to see which menu is being served that night. Come back for the other three and collect a stamp for each.

Which region is on tonight?

The menu region is shown when you select your date online, so you'll know which region is being served before you confirm your booking.

What does dinner cost and what's included?

The regional set menu is €59 per guest and includes amuse-bouche, salad, soup, three main dishes and dessert, served to share. Premium fish and meat from the daily grill and a wine pairing are extra, and a 10% service charge is added to the bill.

Is it a set menu or à la carte?

Set menu only, served Thai family-style to the centre of the table. Dishes from the daily grill can be added.

Is there a vegetarian menu? Gluten-free? Allergies?

A full vegetarian set menu is available every night. Gluten-free, vegan and allergy needs can be catered for with at least 12 hours' notice; add them to your booking or email dine@anaalavalletta.com. Peanuts, shellfish, fish sauce and soy appear across Thai cooking, so please tell us.

How spicy is it?

It varies by region. The Central and North menus are the gentlest; Northeast and the South carry real heat. Dishes are cooked as they are in Thailand rather than toned down, but the kitchen can adjust with notice.

Is there a wine pairing?

Yes, an optional wine pairing is available with every regional menu at an additional charge.

The Rooftop

Where exactly is Anaalā and how do I get up?

Anaalā is on the rooftop of Iniala Solis on St Ursula Street, Valletta. Enter through the Solis entrance and take the lift to the top floor.

What happens if it rains or it's windy?

The indoor dining room is glass-fronted with the same view, so dinner goes ahead whatever the weather. Terrace tables move inside if conditions turn.

Is there parking nearby?

Parking in Valletta is limited, but you can find spaces in designated white parking boxes. Alternatively, the MCP car park by the City Gate is a convenient option, with a 10 to 15 minute walk or a short taxi ride to St Ursula Street.

Are children welcome?

Yes. Sharing menus suit families well. We ask that families with children aged 12 and under book at 18:00 or 18:30, which works better for younger guests. Hotel guests, let us know and we'll be flexible. Tell us ages when booking so we can seat you comfortably.

Events

Can I book a private sala or the whole rooftop?

Yes. Salas suit intimate dinners; the terrace and poolside upper deck take larger celebrations and corporate events; exclusive use of the rooftop is available. Email dine@anaalavalletta.com with your date and numbers.

Do you do gift vouchers?

Yes. Vouchers are available for any amount or for dinner for two. Email dine@anaalavalletta.com to arrange one.
