Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cafe Malta is a delightful neighborhood gem, celebrated for its "wonderful food" and "great atmosphere." Guests praise the "gnocchi bleu appetizer" and "seared salmon salad." While occasional noise and tight seating are noted, the "Tour de Forks" events and "superb service" make it a must-visit.

    Cafe Malta was a great find for us. We were visiting Austin for a couple of days. It’s a short drive from the Ladybird Wildflower Center and we went for a late lunch. The children and adults were all happy with their choices.

    Good food, great service, and reasonable price. It was Saturday night, the place was full and the no ice level was a little higher than normal. But thank you. Will visit again.

    Cafe Malta never misses; the gnocchi bleu appetizer is a fave for Hubs and I, and I recently tried their paella special, which was delicious! Sometimes, though, it feels a tough too loud for my liking, and the tables a touch too close; but those are my subjective issues. The food, service and hospitality are always top tier!
