Stylish all‑day spot with creative fusion plates, sushi, cocktails, and a lively scene; food is solid to excellent, but recent reports cite rude reception, indoor smoking, and service delays at peak times.
Malt delivers strong food quality across burgers, sushi, and desserts, anchored by a beautifully designed space with excellent atmosphere that draws loyal regulars. Inconsistent execution on service attentiveness and recent complaints about peak-time pacing and enforcement issues prevent a higher grade, though the restaurant remains a solid local destination for modern European dining and cocktails.
A polished all-day venue on the square where the room feels warm and bustling without losing its chic edge. Guests praise the dark blue palette, chandeliers, and greenery, with one noting, "service was kind and the vibe felt celebratory." Recent peaks can bring hiccups—some cite reception roughness and slow bill times—so timing matters. In the kitchen, the approach blends sushi and ceviche with burgers and pastas—creative fusion comfort over strict tradition. The Malt Burger and bolognese win fans, while rolls are fresh but on the modest side. Cocktails draw real enthusiasm, from classic old fashioneds to a broad spirits list, making this a strong choice for those who like food with a cocktail culture. For families, the menu is friendly: burgers, pancakes, omelets, and simple sandwiches mean kids can eat happily. Sushi and bolder starters suit adventurous teens. Do note the lively ambiance and, based on reviews, inconsistent smoking enforcement indoors at times, which may matter for little ones.
