Welcome to Boqqa Cafe, a hidden gem located in the heart of Ir-Rabat, Malta, at 38 Triq San Pawl. This charming cafe is not just a place to grab a quick bite; it’s an experience that tantalizes the senses and warms the heart.

Boqqa Cafe specializes in traditional Maltese cuisine, with a particular emphasis on the beloved ftira—a local sandwich made with traditional bread, typically stuffed with a variety of sumptuous fillings. Customers rave about the deliciousness of Boqqa’s ftira, perfectly seasoned and served with fresh, high-quality ingredients that celebrate Maltese flavors.

The atmosphere at Boqqa Cafe is as inviting as the food. Picture settling into a cozy seat upstairs or enjoying the vibrant street life from an outdoor table. The cafe exudes a climate that feels both welcoming and intimate, making it a perfect spot for casual meet-ups or a peaceful retreat after a stroll through the picturesque city. As one guest, Sylwia J., noted, the space is “really climatic” with “great service.”

For those seeking a light yet fulfilling meal, don’t miss the exquisite salads that are a highlight of the menu, celebrated for their healthy and genuine ingredients. Paola, a satisfied patron, paired her salad with a delightful Stretta blond beer, further emphasizing the quality and authenticity Boqqa has to offer.

Value is at the core of Boqqa’s appeal. The cafe’s menu includes wonderful deals—Kevin Seeberger fondly mentioned enjoying two espressos, a bottle of water, and a ftira for under 10€. This perfect blend of affordability and high-quality food makes Boqqa a must-visit destination.

The friendly, accommodating staff complete the experience at Boqqa Cafe. They’re always ready to greet you with a smile, contributing to the warm atmosphere that patrons have come to love. As Christian Garner stated, the friendly atmosphere is complemented by kind staff and good value for money, leaving customers feeling appreciated and satisfied.

Whether you are a local or a visitor exploring Malta, a stop at Boqqa Cafe promises not only a delicious meal but also a genuine taste of Maltese hospitality. Don’t just take our word for it; come see how beautiful this place is and indulge in its mouthwatering offerings. Your taste buds will thank you!

It’s such a lovely place we were on our walk through the city when we passed by. It looks just like a street café but you can have a seat upstairs or on the street outdoors. 2 Espresso, a bottle of Water and a ftira for under 10€ is a Great Deal. Highly recommend to visit this place, also super friendly staff.
