Okay - Edit
I liked the atmosphere of the place and how they veganized some Maltese dishes. I'm accustomed to both eating at cheap DIY-squats and normal restaurants where you also pay for service but this was just something in between I don't really know what to think of.
Pros: vegan Maltese dishes, relaxed vibe
Cons: messy

Grungy and Grotty - Edit
I'm disappointed to say that Gugar was not great. The tables were grotty (as were the walls, floor, etc) and almost everyone who was there were all smoking outside. It's more of a bar than a restaurant. The chairs were higher than the tables, too, which made sitting down very awkward.
As for the food I didn't enjoy it at all. I had the falafel wrap (boring, I know, but it was one of the only vegan options on the menu other than cakes and smoothies) and the falafels were flavourless and the worst thing was that they cooked the lettuce inside the wrap. WHO COOKS LETTUCE? It was weird and not tasty.
Pros: Friendly staff, One of the only vegetarian places in Valletta
Cons: Bad food, Food was cooked wrong, Filthy environment

Perfect place on Malta for Vegans - Edit
Really, really awesome and tasty vegan dishes made with heart by beautiful friends and a very warm-hearted woman from Spain. I am amazed by the Maltese vegan dishes and the prices are very good! I will come more often here during my trip on Malta!
Pros: directly allocated on Malta, very good price-quality ratio!!, Maltese vegan dishes

Late night saviour in Valletta - Edit
With very few vegan friendly places in Valletta, and even fewer open into the evening, Gugar was a welcome oasis for a late evening snack. Fine dining it is not, but a selection of decent vegan options with a friendly chilled out vibe. What's not to like?
Pros: Vegan food, Late opening, Chilled hangout bar
Cons: Not a massive choice, Smallish portions

Tasteless but cheap - Edit
The prices are reasonable, the place is interesting, the staff is happy but they didn't clean our table. The wrap and the sandwich we had were really tasteless and disappointing. I can't say I can call it a healthy food place since I got potato chips snacks with my wrap which was obviously being made with these ready wraps they sell in the supermarkets that are full of E ingredients.

Heaven :) - Edit
In spite of not being fully vegan, this place deserves 5 stars :)
We loved the food, the smoothies and the cakes :)
The peanut butter-coffee smoothie is heaven :) I needed a second one right after having the first one :)
We loved the books everywhere, we found some interesting ones that we now want to find and buy :)
and they sold great quality burning sticks... We bought half of the stock they had while visiting the last time...
Prices were good, menu was nice and varied, staff was very very friendly, and place felt great :)
I wish we lived closer to Gugar, not 2 000 miles away :)
Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Staff
Cons: None

Really great place - Edit
The food here had so much taste. I love the nice addition of crisps on the side of the place. I loved the books everywhere, I certainly grabbed a through to glance through during the meal. Prices were good, menu was nice and varied, staff was friendly, and place felt happening. We tried coming back no less than 3 times but everytime it was closed as they are only open in the evenings
Pros: Delicious food, nicely laid out, Varied menu, Well priced
Cons: Opening hours, A bit out of the way, for Valletta, Only diner
