• Laid-back and unpretentious

Eating dinner on the side of the road on a warm summer's night watching the world go by, was the apt setting for our meal at Soul Food. It has a laid-back and unpretentious feel to it, which is admirable for one of the only vegan-friendly options in Valletta. There's a substantial and appealing menu to choose from, with prices averaging €8-10. I went for the vegan lentil burger dish served with vegetable couscous, salad and satay dressing. It was a huge and colourful plate and I admittedly couldn't finish it, but did enjoy nonetheless. If I'm being completely honest, the patty itself was nothing special, and when you know how good a veggie burger can be, disappointing to be eating something a little uninspired. However, the salad, couscous and nutty satay dressing were all lovely and it was a plentiful plate of healthy goodness. A great but not mind-blowing option in Valletta city.
